i really wish i could have seen the original deviation.
the artist is being an idiot for hiding the real DD.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yes because the artist has no right to dictate who sees their work, nor express his opinion in any way, as it is totally up to the viewer wether of not the artist should continue to live or not

Haha, it's so funny how people are freaking out about this. XD No sense of humor.
I always kind of hoped someone would do this.
(btw, the original is great)

thank you DA for putting the unworthy first.

It wasn't DA. he actually did a very DD worth piece, but swapped it for this one after he got the DD as a joke.

yeah I figured xDD
my apologies to the artist

Do you know where the original work went?!
Please. Don't say anything about that whole "don't disrespect" because that's bullshit.
What was up there was amazing. And this isn't...

Well too bad. You got the DD removed.
Good job.
Retard.

c'mon man, that's not funny, don't disrespect. PLS DONT!1!

NO DONT DISRESPECTTT PLZZZZZZ

Actually I would say that this was an epic win.
Not only did he succeed getting the DD removed (in the same way he got his other 3 DD's removed) but he also struck a critical blow to the egos of people who actually take DD seriously and made many of them whine and make asses of themselves while getting a laugh out of a majority of viewers.
I say this was a much better success then the last two times, I can't wait till his forth DD!

I agree you shouldnt take DA so seriously that your only goal in life is to get a DD but if you dont at least use DA to create work to the best of your abilities and to acknowledge others work then why the fuck are you on her? DA isnt a big joke for people to fuck with... if you want to do that go somewhere else... DA should be a place about the art and this isnt art... its stupid...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it's not just a big joke but it can be on occasion if the artist chooses to make it so.
Look at his gallery, 90% of his work is serious. We all have our own reasons for being on DA and they are all equally valid.
However, going around telling people what they should and shouldn't do with their own galleries is asinine.
It's done and over with man, we had a good laugh and are pleased with the results. You can cry all you like but the fact is that the joy of the people who understood and smiled at this is way more important to use then the egos of the people who got offended by it. And if this happens again you better believe we'll do the exact same thing again because none of your "DA is serious/this is offensive to people who work/you're insulting those who" ect. garbage is going to make people laugh any less.
Take that however you will, but this was not an attack on you or anyone and I assure you that your attempts to make us feel guilty about it are nothing more then wasted breath (or keystrokes, in this case).

Haha... to think I actually care is asinine... I was neither pleased or offended by this... I was simply laughing at the fact so many people cared about this... one way or the other... and my argument wasnt whether this sorta joke should be looked down upon or not its that if you cant take DA seriously then dont use DA... jokes are fun every now and then but the fact that so many people thought this was incredibly genius shows how much the "art" on DA is truly appreciated... which in case you didnt figure it out... its not... and thats disappointing for real artists
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm a real artist as is IvoryDrive. Plenty of art gets appreciated on DA, plenty does not. But none of that should be disappointing unless you have unrealistic expectations of what DA is.
I don't take DA seriously and I never will, that's not going to stop me from using it either. I put art on here because I accept DA for what it is, a website to display art work to a specific audience. If I get enough praise or not shouldn't be taken into consideration because if I want serious recognition I'd used serious means to do so.
If you want to take it seriously then fine, but don't get mad because other people don't see it the way you do.
To tell someone they cant make a joke out of their own work is asinine, I said nothing about caring being such. I mention being offended, but only in the context that being offended is meaningless.
So to sum up, we're here and will remain here until we feel like doing otherwise, how serious we take our stay here is none of your business.
If you want to make it your business by getting in a hissy-fit that's fine, but you have only yourself to blame for that.

You obviously do take DA seriously or you wouldnt bother to post artwork at all... I could care less if people look at my stuff or not... but that doesnt mean I dont do my best to produce good artwork... I draw what I want when I want without thought of who is going to look at... but that doesnt mean I dont appreciate the people who do... and thats the part of DA you should take seriously... otherwise whats the point?
ps - asinine isnt the only word there is to describe something absurd... try... I dont know... absurd
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh wow genius, I used asinine again because I was correct your misunderstanding that you thought I said you caring was asinine, which I never said there was anything wrong with caring.
Regardless, it is so rare that one ever gets a chance to use the word asinine anyway that I'd be mad not to squeeze it in because that word is awesome!
I can take my art seriously without taking DA seriously, it's actually very easy. I can upload serious works and also from time to time upload stupid ones for the hell of it.
You still clearly don't understand that other people have other reasons for using DA, as you specifically asked what the point was if you don't take it seriously. I use DA mostly because my friends are on it and it's a nice way too share things with and keep in touch with them. I've also met a few alright people on here as well and figure they might want to see what I'm up to as well.
So to sum up, I'm on DA because it's just another way I have fun with my friends, part of that includes making joke deviations to fuck with people.
And sometimes we get together and laugh about all the pricks who react to things like these DD swaps, and it's a grand ol' time. So say all you like, the fact is in real life all you're going to amount to me is another example of someone on DA taking themselves to seriously.
Feel free to keep responding, no one but you and I are ever going to read this, and I've made it clear your not accomplishing anything.
I find your efforts frivolous and any attempt you make to instill any guilt in me will be erased the second I remember that this DD swap was awesome.
But I just know you have more to say, give it a go!

Wow your comments are just to long and I never really cared that much so...

He shouldn't get one. PEROID.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He doesn't want one COMMA, he has no power over whether or not they do it again. Until DA gets the hint he has little choice then to keep doing this.
Sorry if that offends your sacred view of DD, but when they gave it to him it was his to do with what he wanted. And he wanted to show that DD is meaningless, at least to him.
If you think he shouldn't express himself if it's in a deviant manner, then pray tell what is the meaning of this site's title?

The funny thing is, by changing the image, IvoryDrive just multipled his page views exponentially.
I mean, who isn't going to click on a DD that appears to be a paint picture?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nononono, I didn't mean it like that! :0
I'm just saying, that people don't click on all DDs when they go to the Deviations page. Yesterday, when this was featured, I saw a thumbnail of what seemed to be a picture done on paint, and I went "WTF that can't be what I think it is", and of course, clicked it out of curiosity. The whole "no publicity is bad publicity" thing. I know the pageviews/faves/other-pointless-stats probably isn't what you did this for, but just pointing it out for fun, an' all.
To be honest though, first I thought it was some lame joke the Dev team had come up to poke fun at themselves and the the declining standards of "DD material", but then I realized it was done by a user and thought it was AWESOME. So props to you!
Congrats on the DD, by the way, haha! :)
