Edit: thank you for all information, it is really helpful 💖 I will check out pixelfed (.art) and go from there, maybe later setting up something “at home” ! Thanks again !!!

Hello !

I just got asked for a link to my paintings, and well I don’t have an art portfolio online and after trying some free ones out, I haven’t found anything nice (ease if useno nag-ware) so I thought of Devianart where lits of good pixel artists hanged around some ten years ago …

But I have heard Devianart is no longer recommended or the goto place for your portfolio, is that so (or not ofc!) and if, do you have any recommendations for a free online portfolio? Say 30-40 paintings tops.

I’m thinking about setting up something myself so self hosting (FOSS) recommendations are greatly appreciated too!

Cheers!

    The hateboner is justified. For all it’s faults, instagram explicitly says it doesn’t own any of the pictures and only has a license to display which the user can revoke at anytime.

    Deviant art has this in it’s TOS:

    DeviantArt does not claim ownership rights in your works or other materials posted by you to DeviantArt (Your Content).

    It might be due to plain incompetence and not malice but their TOS lets them do a lot more than most platforms.

      The terms of service explicitly say that art remains copyright of the artist. Where are you reading that suggests that they’ve granted themselves extra rights?

      I guess you could interpret “are the property of Cara and/or the individual artist” to mean “are the property of either Cara and/or the individual artist at Cara’s discretion”, but that’s such a stretch that I can’t see a judge accepting it.
