Well.. there's Pixiv, but it's kinda hard to get a following there, since there's so many amazing artists on that website o It's still super nice to be on and look at their tutorials and stuff, though.
Also there's obviously Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook.. I've seen popular art accounts on all of those platforms. Tumblr especially is good because there's lots of great artists on there and everyone's really professional about it, so you get a lot of great advice (also it's a good website to start commissions!).
So far, Paigeeworld is the only website I've seen where getting followers really seems easy, though.. also what do you guys mean by 'ghost followers'? Like people who follow you but then don't like/comment on your stuff? Or just empty accounts?
