I managed to hit the milestone pretty quickly by setting up a spreadsheet with different artists and their site links. The downside is that I now have a backlog of thousands of images to upload.
Big tip: try checking multiple sites by the same artist to see which one generally has the better quality. FA likes to shrink images to have a maximum size of 1280x1280, though some artists know the workaround. Twitter keeps full res but as a jpeg. DA is tricky, and they seem to be purposefully making it harder for people to take art from there. There are hidden settings on DA that only some artists take advantage of that allow for full-size previews and downloads. Take note of which site(s) is best for each artist if you’re keeping a list of them.
Also, if you look through images you’ve liked/faved elsewhere and images that others (especially artists) have liked, retweeted, etc., you can
easily fall down a rabbit hole of discovering new artists. Have fun!
Some of the non-fetishy artists on the list:
accelldraws: Only one image uploaded on the site so far.
Twitter update: got a lot of this one uploaded
itsdanfango: A few have been uploaded. Sometimes the best easily-accessible image quality is on
DA, other times it’s on
Twitter.
update: think it’s pretty much all uploaded now
jacato: Haven’t started here yet.
Twitter
reign-2004: This one has kept me busy. I’ve mostly been focusing on their old art and working forward, but that’s only on
FA. Their
Twitter might have higher res on some new images too.
