Is there a fediverse equivalent to Deviantart?

Fediverse@kbin.social – 35 points – Looking for the best place in the fediverse that is dedicated towards images and/ or posting art. Any suggestions?

The only thing I can think of right now is PixelFed, which is more of an Instagram style thing, rather than a DA-like.
I think @dansup has a portfolio feature for Pixelfed, or maybe a special server that was for artists?
hmm, is pixelfed federated with kbin yet?
let's check.
@dansup
yes it is, which shouldn't be that surprising since it federates with Mastodon as well.
What's the difference to users of the two platforms, in your eyes? I'm not familiar with the workflows of either Instagram nor DA
It's been a long time since I've hung out on DA, but Instagram is a mobile-first experience. It looks and feels like it wants to be a mobile app tied directly into a cell phone's camera. The web experience is... It would be generous to call it "secondary".
DeviantArt, at least as I remember it being, is more gallary-like. More... horizontal.
