Trending Discovery & Artist Subscriptions

Want to know what everyone's been drawing lately and which up-and-coming artists are worth following, without refreshing a website all day long? Nephele puts the trending charts and artist subscriptions into a single panel: browse the charts and dig up new artists under "Discover", follow anyone you like with one click, and from then on their new work automatically flows into "Following".


Discover: Browse the Charts, Dig Up New Artists

The "Discover" tab surfaces the platform's hottest content:

  • Daily / Weekly / Monthly charts — the most popular illustrations right now
  • Features (pixivision) — themed collections hand-picked by the platform's editors

The charts are laid out as a tiled grid, with each card marked by its rank (#1, #2…) or a "Feature" or "New" badge. Open any of them to:

  • Switch to the image preview and view it full-size
  • Follow the artist directly if they're a good fit
  • Save the image (to your local drive / Eagle / pin it to a moodboard) for reference

提示

The trending charts are pulled from the cloud and work out of the box — no Wisp extension required.


Following: Your Artist Subscription Feed

Artists you've followed land in the "Following" tab. When they post new work, this tab updates — effectively a self-curated "just these people" feed that sidesteps the noise of a platform's home page.

If you've installed Nephele Aura on your phone, updates from artists you follow can even be pushed to your phone.

技巧

Artist subscriptions are currently capped at 100. Picking the people you genuinely want to follow long-term is more useful than blindly following a huge crowd.


From Trending to a Reference Workflow

The Discover panel isn't just for "looking" — it connects to the work that comes after:

  1. Browse the daily chart under "Discover" and spot a set of compositions useful for your current project
  2. Open the preview, save a few of them to Eagle, and tag them
  3. Follow the artist while you're at it, then keep up with their updates
  4. When you need to, head back to Find References and let the Agent expand these leads into a full set of references
