As for sites I'd like to be able to import from? Flickr. MOVING ON.
I'd love there to be a multi-upload option, it would be an important function for comic artists, and people who create 3-D arts and require multiple angles to share online.
I'd personally be sharing textile items: embroidery, garments/cosplay and the like. So I need way to connect multiple files into single projects: like fic chapters, but visual. It would also keep down "spam," the posting of progress-pictures and stuff can flood a gallery, but the ability to connect files together would be wonderful.
I like the idea to include the ability to tag with use permissions. Really, I look forward to seeing the tag system applied to art in general. Like, almost exactly how it is on the fic side.
OH. The thing I was going on about above? The desire to group images together? It would be, officially, the greatest ever if you could eventually group all kinds of files together. If you could combine a fic with some scene sketches AND a vid? How cool would that be? Fanwork immersion.
I would also be using this for fan textile projects (knitting), so I mostly wanted to second krityan's recommendations for grouping multiple files (of multiple types) into a project.
Ravelry offers great options for collecting knit & crochet project information in a way that's useful to other crafters, but it's not really ideal for showing off a project to non-crafter fans. I wouldn't want to put all of the same technical details about needle sizes etc. into AO3, but would want to be able to point knitters from the AO3 info to the same project on Ravelry. That seems like it would be pretty straightforward now that Ravelry lets you set share projects publicly.
