Other ways to get free art~? ✨

[Magicka~]

As I'm in school, I really enjoy letting other artists draw my characters since it's fun and insightful!

I'm unaware of any other forums like this that allow artists to post open requests. And other ways like searching Twitter or Reddit for free art postings is a bit tedious for a schoolaholic life. So I'm requesting help (preferably via DM) in discovering such easy methods (and it need not be exclusively furry art). Thanks everyone! This has been fun and a great stress reliever~

I know there's a request thread on Gaiaonline that you can look through. Also there's Deviantart that has one.

Amino has free art posts fairly frequently.

It also has an in-app currency that used to be quite reliable to buy it. Whilst it could be bought with real money, you could also earn it through surveys or donations.

Nowadays it's a bit more awkward, since over the summer mining accounts started selling it super cheap, causing inflation to get out of hand. Selling the coins for money is now banned by TOS so hopefully it should trend back towards the official conversion rate over the next few months.

Thanks; I'll be bringing my characters over there!

I read that Weasyl had a forum, but couldn't find it. Not sure about other furry sites. FA forums seems to be the most popular ATM.

Apparently there is a subreddit and an Amino dedidcated to free furry art, but both don't get many visitors.

Today i tried registering for the furry amino but it's kind of tricky to navigate as a first time user. Have no clue how to filter the free art posts or search within an Amino community. Wonder if its like that for mobile too.

I tried the Gaia forums too and it seems to be filled with a lot of artists who tend to draw human characters, not furries.

I would recommend trying out Toyhouse and Artfight (discord).
Toyhouse has a ton of freebie threads going all the time. (you'll need a code to join TH if you are not already a member)
And the Artfight discord has a 'minigame' section where you can trade art or get free art from request games. (you'll need an artfight account to join the discord)
