In the hope it might help some of you unseen-artists, I'm going to make a list of all the groups I submit my art to for exposure, because most of the time, DA exposure sucks and hardly anyone can even see your artwork. This doesn't bother me much, because I know I've still got a long way to go as an artist, but I see artwork vastly better than my own which doesn't even get as many views, but deserves far more. And people just don't see it.

So this is just to share my experience that groups are the best way to get exposure on DA, because it took me months to find out about them, and even longer to start using them. And if you're struggling to get views then they can really help you expand your audience. So for anyone who is interested, here's a list of all the groups I submit to, in order to get my artwork seen by more people, since I figure it may be useful to some to have a bunch all in one place.

A short search through Groups on DA will show you loads, but some are a bit harder to find, and hopefully this list will make finding suitable groups a bit easier.

Most of these groups have flexible rules so even ones dedicated to a single character or ship allow other art, as long as it's related. Just make sure you submit to the right folders!
