Premium Memberships: Deviantart Vs. Pixiv Vs. PaperDemon

For those of you membership number crunchers, I will be discussing about rates monthly between each of these three sites and benefits I would use often in Green with benefits I won't really use at Orange.

Deviantart-$4.95/m

Pixiv-Approximately $5/month

PaperDemon-1/month or $10/year

So, PD>Pixiv>DA in terms of best premium membership in my opinion and how I use an art site. PD and Pixiv are worth the money, totaling $70/year budget. I trust PD slightly more than Pixiv simply because lack of language barrier there compared to Pixiv. But, when I overcome that barrier in Pixiv, I will trust that site as much as PaperDemon

When I start doing commissions sometime next year since this month is to re-learn and the rest of the year is to keep drawing better and faster after observing tutorials by tutorials. So far, I can accomplish flats and mild shading. I hope with time, I can do proficient shading by next year.

 DA to me is not really worth the money and I prefer to pay money in sites that deal with theft quick and simple. Notice, while DA can be a place to sell art, I prefer a place predominant towards selling products like Etsy when I'm at legal age to sell products. I still want to learn how selling procedures work so I am prepared when I decide on doing Paypal commissions and owning an Etsy Shop.
