Vore is not always sexual. Thats like saying because feet is a fetish they're inherently sexual too. Personally I find vore really interesting, and its not pornographic in any way unless characters are naked or actively aroused in that context :/

I agree. Tasteful nudity doesnt get 18+ ratings in other media, it's weird to have it so here.

In fact, Mature work should be available for anyone who is here, unless they have the sfw option on, considering you have to be 13 to register. At least thats my opinion.

Honestly this is a feature I wish all the art websites have. I often work late at night, finishing things at 3am range, which is not exactly the most active times. I'd love to be able to schedule posts to upload at a more reasonable time, so I dont have to worry about forgetting what I had to say when I go to sleep, or have to make a text file with tags and such. It'd be insanely good, especially if you wanted to make a backlog of pictures for vacation and then upload day by day like youtube has it. This type of curation would not only be helpful to artists, but viewers as well, as they dont have to worry then about possibly being spammed and unable to give feedback to it all.

Definitley has my vote.

I think to conserve their layout while still maintaining artist aspect ratios, they should fit the image into a grid like pattern. That way each row can have the same amount of images without sacrificing what can be shown. or have artists decide what ratio they want their custom thumbs to be. I drew up a draft to explain what I meant better.

This is something an average user would have, with ratios all over the place. But it looks organic. Theres no point in micromanaging art for the sake of looking good overall if you cant appreciate the art itself.

Here's a rough image to explain what I mean

I think supporting basic aspect ratios would be more than enough. As for users who make tall tutorial like images or wide banner like images, they know the risk of making such a picture, so it should be their responsibility to set a thumbnail if need be. What I imagine is possibly having each possible section being a square, with the image thumb fitting inside to still keep a neat layout,

First of, I love this, it reminds me of what Deviantart Premium Tried to be.

I like the top a lot. From what I understand it enables us to use our collections to a use that is immediately apparent right off the bat. Let us have the option for the first thing people to see to either be our "newest" or "portfolio" collection and then allow additional folders below. I suggested that promotions and bookmarks be another separate tab so that they can easily be viewed without distracting from your work.

One thing however, I think the thumbnails could use a little bit more padding between them and also be file specific. So if a user liked the square look, they could use their own judgement with uploading a square thumbnail. However, it's not a great way to feature certain kinds of illustration that gets cropped or squished

Activity needs to have a bigger purpose to have a tab at all. I still like the idea, but it could use some improvements, for example, instead of saying [User Y] commented on [User X]

it could have

[User Y] commented on [User X] (User X Thumbnail)

"User Y comment"

and of course have activity be a toggle option to prevent stalking,

Pretty much the only thing I'd want censored on this website is real world pornography and violent activities, as it has nothing to do with an art site anyway.

Also love how anybody who just wants free speech (which is what art falls under) gets downvoted to oblivion, way to go mob mentality!

Yup. I'm interested in promoting cool character designs, other people's commission info and just stuff I really like. It'd could effectively be the same thing as a gallery, X)

I feel like maybe the two should be combined. So the default would be to favorite something, and depending on your personal user settings would show if you were anonymous or not with the default being not. Then, give people the option to simply favorite, or favorite & promote in one go. I'm not sure why someone would want to promote something without favoriting it, unless they were being a shill after all, ahah. By then, the said promotion would show up on the feed as a thumbnail, which actually is enticing instead of a mere text like the rest of the activities.
