this was phenomenal. it makes me miss your "most kickass action heroes of all time" or whatever it was. that was great as well.

and well done w/ the anti-tool plug, that alone should up the hate mail to this piece by 50% cuz of all the disgruntled fans that don't think it's ok to actually ENJOY OTHER TYPES OF MUSIC

That was the funniest shit I have ever read. Its so true, I love the part about the anime people, and the stairs. I couldnt stop laughing about this whole thing while I read it. The funniest part about it is that its all so true, and thats some good shit.

One more thing you forgot to add, Alex. Always, always, always remember to add WINGS to your subject. This is a must. Our deviant art god, Bionic knows to follow this rule religously. Wings will make such a statement! Your subject will go from being very ordinary to, all of the sudden, an angel or a butterfly! Just amazing!

Mindfreakette In reply to ??? [2006-08-09 06:07:11 +0000 UTC]

hehehe....u hit the nail on the head for all of those artist wanabees. this is great! really gotta have balls to write sumthin like that. why cant people just be origional and unique? this site really IS for the art, not the popularity. if people only appreciate the popular artists they miss out on the true artists that hide in the corner witing for someone to notice just how good they are. to be a true dA god you need to be yourself, not what everyone else is. if you cant do that then dont bother trying to be an artist at all. anyone can copy someone elses masterpiece. you should strive to be the one that people want to be like, not try and be someone else.

You forget to mention how create a mass favorited deviation:

Simply explaining how to crack the DA system, i mean make a DA TUTORIAL.

Its was fun to read,this is the second deviation with the same theme "become a DEV star"
I prefer to see dumbass than art ripers.

Tons of people will have fun looking at this and probably it
DA lives logical phenomenoms that all.

Remember something: make art for yourself, and do this for the love and fun.

I skimmed through some of these comments and I saw "asshole", "cocky", and... well. "Funny". I think you are cocky, and it is funny as hell! lol People who think you are an asshole, only see that what your wrote is right and are upset because it is so true and wish they could be as bold as you are. I will add this as a favorite. haha kudos.

How to get a bunch of adoring fans to admire your unsurpassable degree of wit, make a deviantion and title it, "How to be a GOD on DA"


I'm just kidding. ;O I actually found this amusing. And what really gets me is that most of people commenting/faving this could be catagorized in one or more of what you suggested. (I have to say even for myself, I love at least one anime, though I don't draw in that style unless doing some form of fanart :/ )

JadedInNowhere In reply to ??? [2006-08-06 02:47:49 +0000 UTC]

It's not only funny because it's true, but I have been dying to see one of these because I am so sick of seeing the same work over and over.

For instance, some photographers just stand in an empty field, set their timer, and call it art.

Art is supposed to be whatever you want, but shouldn't it require some skill, some knowledge of the subject?

Whatev. You, my friend, are funny as hell. Keep it up.

Not that I disagree, but why are you so bitter about this. I mean F***, you artwork is brilliant and you are adored and viewed.

I could understand why I, being pathetic, might author this, but I don't really understand why you did.

lunacatstudio In reply to ??? [2006-07-20 08:18:57 +0000 UTC]

I love it ! It's wonderfully done and I'm sure you got the daily favorite for that XD ! By the way, things written in it are kinda true. Okay my username is a powerful combo for the second part ! But I know some people tend to be stereotypical just to be seen and exposed. That's a shame that some don't do art just for it but to be popular and always be under the light... Anyway, I still think there are, thanks goodness, people doing art for art even if they tend to disappear eaten by those DAgods... Maybe they don't disappear, but at least they're hidden by the superficial artists.
Must stop rambling ! It's no good at all XD
