Danbooru

what do you think????

I like both, but I'd suggest using less obtrusive watermark/signature. Best is something handwritten, as it blends nicely with the rest of the pic. HUEG gothic font rendered with bevel does not blend in at all.

Regarding the uploads, I wouldn't personally mind it if they were all of similar quality, but in order to promote moderation and lack of horrible personal scribbles uploaded, it'd be best if you set up a site somewhere and hosted your illustrations there, we could then snatch them in good conscience.

I would make this a hard rule: do not upload your own art, or that of people you know. It dilutes Danbooru's focus on collecting and tagging interesting and high-quality anime/manga/doujinshi pictures.

The separation between danbooru users and the artists is a feature. The moment you have artists as users, the site's dynamics change. People will feel encouraged to post their own art, and will judge the efforts of other danbooru users with a far more lenient standard. There will be pictures posted for practice, "constructive criticism", and so on. These are not necessarily bad things, but they belong on other sites.

Bottom line: get a DeviantArt account instead.
