What is a better way to share content? Linking out to my shared content on my personal website, or posting individual pics to these forums?

Is it okay for me to link from a pic here back to my personal website so that someone can view the rest of my portfolio. I am not a professional artist. Being an artist isn’t even my strength. I’m a game developer first. I just do 3d art for fun on the side.

Thanks, Rigel.

Im personally always prefer to see pictures uploaded directly to the forum, because:

  1. you see the problem/point/art right here, right now
  2. you dont feel uncomfortable with a link leaded to unknown site

I’d always suggest sharing images.

Just remember: This isn’t an image sharing site. It’s a community. If you’re looking for somewhere to ‘image dump’ then I’d argue that this isn’t the right place for that.

You’re more than welcome to link to a personal portfolio, via your own site, Artstation, Insta etc… but you’ll get more engagement if you actually post things here.

I have no desire to do image dumps. That’s not the idea. The idea is to simply share my work in progress and get peoples opinions. I already have plenty of storage, bandwidth and flexibility on my own platform.

Thanks for the info. I’ll remember to post pics of my creations. I am a newbie artist, but I’d like to be seen, even if its by a small group. I really don’t have any other way of garnering feedback right now, so thanks for that.

Agreed, please post images here and not just links. Even better: add some information about the project, its creation etc. You can also open a topic in Works in Progress to post ongoing updates on a project.
