Wysp Review

Huh, a website review. Never thought I'd come to this, but oh well.
-------------
As most of you may know, deviantArt is slowly descending to hell, which is something they've brought upon themselves. They simply don't have their users in their best interest. What started out as a website for professional artists became a cesspool of drama and faggotry. It's times like this where you need to find an alternative site to host your work, which may not be easy. SheezyArt is dead, Scratch is more or less for kids, Fan-Art Central is outdated, FurAffinity, InkBunny and Weasyl are limited to furries and Tumblr is still a prominent drama induced site.

But fear not, for there is a new alternative. Wysp.

Wysp is an independent website created by a fellow deviant. It's often toted as a very peaceful website. Let's go over the pros and cons.

Pros

  • As opposed to deviantArt where anything goes, a lot of the content on Wysp is clean and, dare I say, actual art.
  • The website provides inspiration to help you if you go through writers block.
  • The community is friendly and drama free
  • You have not only a customizable icon, but a customizable background image as well.
  • You could fill out an interview which helps to better introduce yourself to newcomers.
Cons

  • There seems to be an issue with the comments section, where replies may be mixed up.
Personal nitpicks

  • There's a character limit when you fill out your info.
Overall

Wysp has potential, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an alternate art site.

Rating: 8/10
