I'm unclear on how to save images with this. I'd think that anyone with a DA account would receive (and/or be able to buy) some file storage space and save their work to it for recall later, or on another machine. Instead, all I see is an Image->Export option. Am I missing something obvious, or is DA?

Are there competitors to deviantart? Because I have seen them reign supreme for many years now and cant recall anyone being as successful in this market.

There are competitors. I know of three. I don't know that I would call them successful though. http://www.paperdemon.com/ http://sheezyart.com/ http://storm-artists.net/ Disclaimer: I was a moderator at storm-artists.net for a little while.

That's a no.

export image, right-click, save as, send to your gmail?

Really bad title: new online drawing application from devianART. This sort of demo was shown before on here as part of HTML5 demos - but I don't think they claim to work with WACOM as this one claims to (via plugin). Really awesome. It's freemium, you can pay for extra brushes.

Hmm - strange, this was submitted a while ago with an identical (minus the ending #) URL: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1595614

Yeah, that's lame. It should be more like "Image->Save", enter a name (and optional additional tags), and hit "OK."

How am I supposed to continue working on the image later, or on a different PC or tablet, if the only way I can save it is by sending it to GMail?

There's a save/load feature in beta. It just didn't launch with it.

Surprisingly, the other one only has 2 points. This is another example showing how heavily other factors weigh in getting upvoted, as opposed to just purely the content of the website.
