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.

Ha ha ha! Interesting! Although no matter how many times I try these I don't get any page views!! *fake cry* Although I can't stand how the good artists try their best and still get the shaft...I may not be super, but I still try. D:
But seriously, I love everything in this. And it is drawn well. *high fives*

So when one person does all of this in one image, does dA reset like the Matrix or something?

You should have wrote "go to beginner clubs and watch/favorite 300 people there (while not actually clicking the deviations option for what shows up in your inbox). Most of them are pretty desperate for watchers and will watch you back ASAP.

Thank you for being honest about how this site works. If there's one thing that drives me up the wall, it's this; the.....more.....distasteful artists racking up mucho pageveiws whilst the more normal artists languish in obscurity. Honestly, showing people your work IRL is a hell of a lot more meaningful.
.....I'm so getting flamed for this.

What if you can't draw and you aren't a teenage girl? Does that mean I'm basically screwed in the ways of becoming popular on dA?

A newcomer (me) approaches! Ah, so it begins, my rein of profuse commenting... *sigh*

This is funny because it's true, although I don't really mind any type of art as long as they have talent or put effort into it.

You forget to mention yaoi, vore, and the pony cult. I can't help but be distubed by the fact that so many grown men are fans of 'My Little Pony.
Also, turns that there's this parasite that makes rats want to be eaten by cats and approximately 50% of all humans are infected! Scientists claim that they don't effect humans, but if they are wrong it would explain why vore is so popular. Yeah... so... if you are a fan of vore, odds are that there's a bug in your brain. I may also be infected.

i see my flaws. i've only been drawing boobs reasonably big but they need to be retarded huge. and all my Dudes are manly looking men that smirk at villains instead of turning away and crying.
i'm sure to be a great artist just like everyone else, now.

years later, and looking at this I still laugh my ass off.... though I am somewhat guilty of the fanart thing.
And you should add ponies to this.... >> I fucking hate the ponycult. It makes me make sicky noises.
