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.

dude, you forgot clearly pornographic nude women claimed as an art or fucking pinups. Man if I could castrate the man who made that clearly degrading so-called- erotic pin up i would!
Awww I like nagas but yeah that shit is overrated that and girl/gay vore

I agree!!! It's even in my journal, porn is not art!

Not to mention all those weird fetishes on here. What is so sexy about a foot? I don't get it.
And there are some things I wish I didn't see, period. Ugh... Anthro porn.

I don't know but I do like stupid vore (only guys eating the girls tho other vore is fucking gay XDD) But there's even more weird fetishes than that out there? ever heard of "coprophilia?"
Hahaha anthro porn two fucking furries yiffing eachother with hugeass tit and mondo penises!!
And it's mostly the GUYS who have the weird-ass fetishes Also, have you heard of "unbirth?" It's why most men fap off to girl vore

their a combo of snake and people kind of like a cenature or faun. they come from the mian culture and origanaly had snake heads.
and yes I did post one on DA and it is my most viewed and favorited thing up. but I am actully using him in a story with a friend and he is going to show up as a background charater to a few stories I am curently working on.

Ain't it the truth. Especially the camera one. That's not art. And the fact that some of my labor of love art is sitting in a fav gallery next to some gross picture of a girl with a cupcake wrapper shoved up her vajayjay doesnt sit well with me. At least with the first four people are drawing things... Theres ine line between a picture and photography. Learn it people.

The naga made me laugh. Is is, by any chance, refering to a certain deviant who was on a certain forum and some certain someone said "The snake part's a little lumpy" and that certain little deviant flipped out? Aka, Sn***-Sn***er?

Was just thinking that....I hadn't been on deviantart in so long and apparently there is a whole wiki page on her freakouts o.o....>.<

SPARKLEDAWGS
You forgot those ;D
I love this xD
I haven't really seen any nagas in a few years though.
#5 just IRKS me. It drives me nuts when I'm looking for a simple reference image and I'm bashed over the head by these 14-year-olds taking pictures of their bare bodies, calling it a stock image, and then adding every single tag they can think of that doesn't apply to the image. nothanks. Do not want.

There are a few things you left off. I don't know if these have been addressed before, there are just way too many coments to slog through them all.
1. Once you've submitted something, send it to upteen million clubs, even if your picture is of you in your underwear and the club is called "Forest Scenes."
2. Flatter people endlessly! Tell them that they're so TEH SPESHUL and wonderful!
3. One word: Porn! Showing TEH SMECKSY hunks and TEH SMECKSY babes naked as a jaybird will draw loads of people to your page!
4. Pay for pagehits! Some people will be more than eager to sell you a pageview or two. They'll use a bot to spam your page. You'll go from 100 views to 50,000 views in no time flat!
5. Post responses like this one.

No matter how many times I look at this I can't help but smile and laugh. Oh what level hath humanity devolved to?
Might want to add bandwagon art to the list. When someone does something "cool" and everyone copies it somehow.

hey, hey.
Some of the best art I've seen is fanart.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's true, but fanart covers the entire scale; fantastic to shit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But the difference is, no matter the quality, fanart gains more pageviews.

I lol'd forever at "Yay I'm not legal!" Nice piece

It's true. It's so true. When I had another account, my most popular piece was a crappy unfinished fanart from Eragon. It pissed me off. So I deleted it.

And here I thought I needed to be a better artist!

oh so true, but your forgetting that all the people that ARE good, when they submit its always the most popular, they just keep growing, sorta like conglomerates and privates businesses....fuck you walmart.
