    This was kind of covered in a thread about 2 days ago - and I think it depends on what you want to get out of it. If you have no intention of being part of a community and checking out other peoples artworks then flickr is probably easier to use. I would prefer deviant art for the features, the look and feel, community forums, chat areas, print store, the user community etc

    But - there is a community on flickr, dagnammit!

    Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to waste so much of my time in there all day, when nobody is talking on here ;)

    I won't start repeating myself. I'm even sick of listening to me!

    Here's the thread from before, anyway: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054980754

    I like them both. I prefer DA, but it's just too slow.

    many people will say flickr, flickr is great for having a gallery that is very easy to navigate.

    Deviant art is fine for navigating, however if you are new to it you might find it a bit difficult.

    Deviant art is brilliant for finding some savage artists. However there is a lot of crap on it, but when you look past that you can find some gems. There's more of a community on DA, I think.

    Both are good. I'd say you should start randomly browsing both sites and see which you prefere.

    oh also what sinecurea said... It can be kinda slow which can be very annoying, most of the time it's fine tho.

    This topic was done recently. Don't like what deviantART have done with the site, theres some really good stuff on it but don't like the navigation. Flickr is okay but I don't use it too often and haven't had a chance to look at it properly.
