Description
Full View for a cinematic view of your local cosmosOK, so when I read about a "deviantMAP contest" held by I instantly started coming up with creative and humerous ideas. Rather than limiting myself to a world-like map perhaps with different galleries taking up different landmasses, I figured deviantART is so grand, why not give it its own Solar System (Or "Lolar system" if that sounds more like dA
Lets get to it shall we?...
The planets of deviantART
DeviantART Server: The very core of the entire system of which would not exist without it, Server lies in a local cluster of stars ranging from smaller stars like CGSociety or Renderosity, to massive Supergiants such as Myspace and Youtube. In relation to these other servers, deviantART server is rather aged but still bright. The perfect sized star!
Female Nudes: Lying closest to Server, due to it apparently being the "hottest" of the galleries and the first thing many people look for on arrival, if this gallery was any bigger, it would have formed into a gas giant like the other, bigger ones!
Male Nudes: Significantly smaller than its feminine gallery counterpart, this gallery is still hot in the eyes of the few that appreciate it, let alone the fewer again that submit into it. Its Mars-like look is well fitting to it's masculine theme!
General Photography: Sunsets, water-drops, flowers, rings casting heart-shaped shadows - you name it! whatever you can think of that was taken through the lens of every camera, ranging from the cheap disposable ones to ones that can put a Ferrari to shame in a price war - all goes onto this giant gallery, you might still have to try and find some available space though.
Traditional Art: Apparently is where the whole art journey started, you can tell as it has a well-established and earth-like form too. Though small compared to most other galleries, never undermine the value of any form of hand-made art!
3D Art: Not very large, but worth a visit if your'e bold enough to sit in front of a 3D program! One can't help but wonder why so many of those naked Poser ladies havn't been shifted by Server to the innermost planet.
Stolen Google Images: Aaahhh! these stray lumps of crap are just about everywhere! and constantly pose a threat to all the other proper galleries on here. Destroy the stolen google images by reporting them!
Anime / Manga: Makes itself a rather dominant gallery that's almost impossible to miss every time you log in to stargaze at this site. But bigger isn't always better - but having said that, across its vast surface are some beauties that are worth all that searching, sill - don't say I didn't warn ya!
Fan-Art: Don't look so shocked, you KNEW It was going to be the biggest, in fact - fan-art grew so big so fast that it converted into glowing a brown dwarf gallery - smaller than a star, too big to be a normal planet, hence why it's the second most dominant object in the whole system right after the Server itself, you can't miss it even if you tried!
Other Digital Art: Was once colossal! but ever since Manga and Fan-art seperated and coalesced into their own galleries, Digital Art in general became less than half the size after shedding those unslightly tonnes, in spite of that, it still holds a wealth of different forms of art and safe to say it's still a damn big gallery!
Worthwhile Tutorials: There's lot of tutorials on here, but half often lead to a dead-end for most that use them here, this teeny-tiny portion of the deviant System has been bombarded with every member that hoped to become pro in an afternoon, so the poor gallery sports a multitude of big craters.
Dee Dee's: Because we are losing our ability to say "Daily Deviations" in this busy place. Dee Dee's is the final fronteir, you can't get a better honour on here than that, few make it to this small but bright gallery that shines proudly with the teal glint of deviantART!
Art Memes: Like comets, they strike fear into the hearts of some, but are amusing for others. Art memes come and go like Comets do, and people enjoy it while it lasts, but couldn't care less once its gone...
Phew, long comment, remember not to take this too seriously or literally, maybe the galleries should be different sizes relative to each other and I just got the wrong impression. Maybe I could have added more galleries too! But I considered all the variables an dthis way was just the right amount to keep it humerous
No NASA imagery was used, some planets were made from painted texture-maps that were applied to 3D spheres, others including the Sun are done using fully procedural textures. Made using Vue and Photoshop.
Download is required to see text (but its explained in the comments anyway)
All artwork in my gallery is made by me and copyrighted too. Re-distributing my art edited or not is immoral and illegal! Respect the artist - don't steal art!

Aww come on, even people in China that have very different values in what makes a joke got the humour Basically it's just poking fun at how bloated some galleries here are compared to others, and how popular they are too (in terms of how often people submit into it and browse/fave it) the bigger the planet, the more of whatever name is attached to it is here on dA

"Ahhhhh, I see said the blind man", well, I was assuming that somehow your joke was more "had to be there" to understand, but now that you have simplified it for me, I understand it perfectly. heheh

Lol, I deliberately made that one purple/pink since I noticed lots of anime stuff is a bit "cute" and childish, so that colour was chosen simply because it's more "fun"

Lol, thanks, glad everyone thinks it's accurate too, since I might view dA differently than others after all. Yeah, the site is littered with those two things too

well doneeee! it's quite accurate, go you!
what are "dee dees" btw? daily deviations?

Chromattix In reply to Little-kaiyou-Kame [2009-03-20 00:48:21 +0000 UTC]
Lol, the long description is just for those who have too much time on their hands or don't fully get the joke so reading it might help explain it better
Yep, everyone just calls them "DD's" for short, but if you were ever to read "DD" in a journal or whatever (you know, like the artist boasting they got one, which is perfetcly understandable) you still read it as what it is - "DD" rather than your mind just saying "Daily Deviation" so it sound slike "Dee Dee" in your mind (yeah, I put WAY too much thought into this lol)

Little-kaiyou-Kame In reply to Chromattix [2009-03-22 00:42:38 +0000 UTC]
haha! yeah i guessed "deedee" meant DD
I know what "DD"s are of course. just didnt think of them as DEEDEEs.
omg, isn't deedee the name of that science guy's sister...Dexter! Dexter's laboratory! hahaha.. his sister is called Deedee!

Funny how you turned the several sections/styles of art into a solar system.
Hope you're doing fine have a beautiful Thursday!

Greetings Matthew,
Exceptionally brilliant . . . If I were judging the contest entries, which I am not, this image and witty text would assuredly be in the running for the best submitted. I wish you success with this . . .
My best,

Greetings Matthew,
I understand the various elements involved and know that the best art does not always get recognized however, I hope your piece wins.

Yeah, it's tiny in comparison to "Female Nudes" but I blame the hoards of testosterone-fuelled teenage boys on this site
At least Male Nudes aren't as cheap and porn-ish as many female ones

Thanks since this was more like a scientific shart than a true space scene, I was able to let myself use distinctive and perhaps unrealistic colours and not worry too much about accurate lighting or colouring as I would in a normal artwork
