I usually hotlink to my twitter lol ... if that doesn't work, imgur is pretty good for general sharing and stuff.

It's not great as a gallery or anything like that but it's really good for sharing.

As for galleries I'm pretty lost on where to go these days. Tumblr is dead, Twitter is Not Great and at this point social media is going to cost me jobs in the future lol. I set up an ArtStation but oh my god this is so intimidating.

@Addy: Do you have a pillowfort? It's still getting off the ground but I've been getting pretty decent interaction (for me lol) when I post to groups

Honestly for galleries being on not just one social media is preferred.
In case someone is not on the social media site you go on they can go on another.

I am honestly on everything.
I don't really recommend pillowfort because it's still in beta and requires a key to the site
so not everyone will see your work.

Instagram is the most popular, but have to fiddle with the algorithim.
Twitter there is really no way on how to get popular but you can reach so many people on there.
For me I am on everything. Even Tumblr. My art is most popular on Instagram and tumblr.

Posting art on social media feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. It's just tiring trying to keep up with each. Honestly I think my tumblr did better when I only focused on it

I don't think my art is suitable for ArtStation but I kept up my DeviantArt until they officially rolled out eclipse. Like, social media is great tool but it's not a gallery. Even tumblr and pillowfort aren't really galleries (though you can sorta set them up for it)

(Also @ everyone else, we have a pillowfort invite thread if anyone needs a key!)

it's just trial and error with algorithms since each one is different.
But posting consistently is pretty much the key.

If no gallery is suitable then having your own website might work since most are free to make nowadays
and have deals for domains and so on.
i don' t have enough work to make my website official lol.

@lilykin: i actually made one last night, finally got in but haven't looked around too much

and yeah working against the algorithm suuucks. i do really struggle with consistent art too so it's a nightmare in that regard

i also have a website and a paid domain and hosting ... i hoped it'd get me motivated but it's been two years now lmao (it's in my signature under the etc link for those curious but beware going to my twitter re: current events and stuff)

I think you can take commissions though ko-fi? Idk, I set one up when everyone else did and then promptly forgot about it lol

@Addy: My domain used to point to my tumblr but after the great nsfw fiasco I decided to disconnect it
