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.

Lol, been reading the comments here... also been a long time member and I have some original stuff on here, but I admit I mostly do fanart. And, shock and surprise, guess which group gets the most views? Well, I actually like doing the fanart, so I guess it's not all bad.
And I am guilty of doing a few Final Fantasy pieces if only because I knew they'd get a crapload of comments, and..... low and behold....!
But I simply REFUSE to draw nagas, sluglike or otherwise! Shudder!

Yeah, bloody hell right, if You don't mind me saying so 
And most of those (naga, inflated and similar things) pics are really crappy, and still get favs comments just because they are so. I hate to admit it, but Freud was right ;/

I think they have their own gravitational fields. Don't let your three-year-old too close - he might get stuck to them.

Waaiiittt... don't YOU do fan art tooo?
Just sayin
*pst* I'm guilty as well...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, but it's not very popular fanart.

Neither is mine but I still do it. Perhaps if I did inapropriate pairings like Sailor Moon with Sailor Mini Moon...
Read every single one of your comics last night. Laughed until I cried. Hope you do more.
Your realist sarcasim is refreshing. I keep getting told my filter is broken. Mostly by people that head directly for the HR department for the warped things I say...

Holy crap, if this isn't everything I've already thought, then slap me dead. Of course, I make fan art. But I'm a fan girl, and it really didn't do me any favors anyway. Heh.

This... this is perfect. *sniff*

God I love this....I favorited it a long time ago, and I just HAD to read it again, fabulous...Damn, why did I waste my time and money in art school?? If I had only known!LOL

Well said, I can't help but agree on most of your points.
Although angsty anime characters or Yaoi art can also appeal to wide fan-bases.
π: 0 β©: 0
Hahaha! This is completely and totally true.
...I never really did understand the love of ungodly large breasts. Don't people understand how much it hurts the lower back?! And that gravity is not your friend????
Guess not...

So, that's why I rarely get any hits? Well, that sure explains a lot.
I've never heard of nagas. I wish I still hadn't.
Hilarious comic, madam--definitely see what you and everyone else says. Granted, I've only done fan art (so far), albeit of the more superhero variety.

What if we don't want to be pedo-bait? D:

Another tip for getting page veiws as my friend put it.
In the keywords var for your art type 'naruto, bishi, garra, emo, naked, boobs, gay, naga, man-love' ECT rather than anything relating to your picture....you'll get instant pageveiws XD

Oh, crap, I'm doomed. No nagas, no bishies, no super-inflated plastic women... some fan art, though...
π: 0 β©: 1
Same here.
I gots fanart...
Maybe one bishie... Nah, he looks too normal to be a bishie.

dear lord the barbie girl scared the shit out of me. what, do boys like the thought of girls having back problems. dis sum serious shit up in here. *shot for acting like a retard* (awesome pic)
π: 0 β©: 0
It's all true. I've got tons of original arts in my gallery and I get the most comments on fanart of bishie guys. XD
π: 0 β©: 0
ha this totally made me laugh!!

Well an interesting dip in the sauce.
I'm new to the deviant community. This is the second article that I have read here, the first being dArama - ISSUE ONE - Love.
Reading (after I stopped laughing) your satirical view of the communityβs tastes, well I got what I came looking for, insight.

...Love is not a strong enough word....

Hehehehe, I know which artist you're talking about ... the nagas...ick.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah I'm not so fond of feminine looking guys either. Or most of those other things actually...
Man, that girl's gonna have some back problems...
π: 0 β©: 0
Aww, such a cute little naga...
π: 0 β©: 0
GAHAHAHAHA this made my morning, completely. Thanks! It's nice to know there's SOME sanity out there. I'm totally faving this.
π: 0 β©: 0
Nagas are mythical creatures of my people's folklore.
Someone in dA just turned them into half-bishie, m-pregging, abominations.
The ancient storyteller (Tok Selampit) in my village is totally not amused.....

Thanks for making this comic. I hope it'll open the eyes of a lot of so-called DA artists.
