@D1ce I think her posts from AS are preferred since the watermarks are less obtrusive and look nicer, don't you agree?

@sweetpeɐ You are correct that the uncompressed Artstation image you uploaded here is the superior image of the three submissions.

Long before we all learned Artstation scaled down their images for public viewing, I suspected something was up. When I took the time to compare a select number of images from Artstation and DeviantArt, I found most, if not all, Artstation submissions were inferior to DeviantArt.

If you compare the Artstation sample Qpax uploaded versus the one I uploaded, you will find that, despite the reduced pixel count in my submission, its image size was larger and there was reduced jpeg artifacting. That was why I uploaded the version from DeviantArt and parented mine to his, despite the larger watermark.

Now I'm really curious, why the downvote to my above explanation? I simply stated why I had uploaded an image from another art host given the conditions at hand from 3 months ago.

Buggy comment thing. I downvoted when I meant to upvote and couldn't undo it.

Seems fixed, just upvoted it!
