Description
I'm going to die for this, I just know it.And I left out the most surefire way to get popularz! FANART! A WHOLE LOT OF IT!
IN FACT, TURN FANART INTO ANGSTY ANTHRO. OR INFLATE YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER LOLZ. OR MAKE THEM BISHIE KAWAII.
Oh yeah. My ass is FLAMED for this.
EDIT: The naga bit is referring to one particular artist here on DA who is talented, but has a rather... uh, interesting style. And she's obsessed to the point of Uber!Creepy about her crazy pretty boything naga people. I won't mention any names, because I don't mean to offend her or her fans, it's just... well, with the 3+million pageviews, obviously pretty snake-type things make you popular.

I FEEL STUPID!

Oh it's so true.
It's so sad to see this is what is making up the whole entity of DA. D:
This is why I'm trying to become popular on my own terms, with no or a very small amount of Fan art.
I love your art by the way. You truly made the blimp lady creepy. XD

curses, it's all TRUE.
look at people like me who do lots of original work, stupid DA *fist shaking*
and, random question but- where the SPORK did the idea for all the bishie nagas on DA come from?
they're all over the place and I can't think for the life of me where the inspiration came from >_>

Only... it looked like a vagina. o.o

Well if you're not eighteen yet DA blocks a lot of content

I dun have the filter on. ^^'''
I'm pretty much used to it all
But when I saw that picture I was like "Oh, what a lovely photo of an apple!"
And then it hit me.

Except that the artistic lighting part seems optional at times. Oi.

HA. I totally agree with everything. Also, the Linkin Park reference WINS.

hah, the fact that all of what you said is true explains why i will never be popular on deviantart, unless of course i draw more than two yaoi drawings, but i doubt i will...

Amen to that. lol. XD I hate the "OMG. . . this looks like so-and-so from some weird japanese dating sim game that I've never in my life heard of" comments when the character in questions is a caricature of a friend
I don't touch fan art. I use references, admittedly, but I'll be damned if I draw sesshuyasha or w/e the fuck those stupid yaoi fangirl crossover couples are called just to get pageviews.
you like my stuff, you like my stuff. . . you don't, I'm better off w/o your narrow-minded, anime-pretty boy obsesed page view anyways

I completely agree with your cartoon! I'm waiting for the first person to comment with something like, 'nice boobs' just to prove your point! lol

lol shows how fucked up the dA fanbase really is.
im assuming this deviation is a joke

Lol Snapesnogger. Good artist, but the subjects of most of her pictures--and just the way she acted in general--were for great lulz.
Although I admit I did use to draw nothing but pretty gay boys... when I was 13... and I don't even think any of those pictures ever made it to the internets. (I found some the other day, and DEAR GOD THE PROPORTIONS WHY. I'm rather glad I didn't have a scanner back then... saved me a lot of embarrassment.)
But anyway, lol internet popularity.

i have to agree with this because i've seen this pattern. *sigh* the sixth step is just good karma
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I fully agree. Especialy about the boyish males. Men should look like men. Women should look like women too by the way, I am so tired of all these "females" looking like anorexic thirteen year olds with implants.
However I must admit I have fallen into the inflation art trap myself sometimes, though I try to keep the ladies muscles somewhat under controll and use good taste, humour and alot of self irony

It's all so very true except that haven't actually run into any naga people yet, I'm not quite sure if I should be relieved. I'm a culprit of a few of these but aren't we all st some point?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
not all is true...I do inflation and I think maybe a naga....dont know, but im not popular....and hopefully never will be, to mch pressure...oh crap did I blow my cover by typing this? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!" *hides behind teh rubber woman....thing?*

Ugh, the more and more that I see stuff like you mentioned on here, the less and less I want to come on. Deviantart has almost lost the ART part of it, maybe we should start a "Take back dA" revolution? XP

I . . . wow. Just wow. Congrats to you, you were brave enough to put on paper what everyone on DA knows. THANK YOU. ^ ^

......I think I love you.......this....this was all my inner thoughts about DA spewed out in a wonderous, single foul swoop. I bow to you.

I'll tell ya, a lot of this stuff I'm able to avoid coming in any contact with, I don't see too many Bishi's with my searches, and I don't look at the people and portraits anymore. However I see way to much of the inflation art, and not the kind where women are given large tracts of land. I mean the ones where someone has turned them into Jabba the Hut. And I'll tell you, if I ever find out who is drawing these, I'm going to shoot them in the ****ing head. I ****ing swear I will.
