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 loooooove this. The boob bit was funny and I literally loled when I read the "Crawling in my skin" bit. Good ole' Linkin park. I needed a laugh and this couldn't be better! Awesome!

Wow, if that's all it takes then I... Might as well go find another site 'cause literature gets no love.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes, I realize my artwork is somewhat lacking in the boob department.

So is THAT why I don't have 100,000 pageviews?
The world seems to spin a little more smoothly now... :sigh:

I don't mind people doing inflation art as long as:
1) It's not a childhood icon
2) The artist actually likes doing it; there's no point in doing it other wise.
I hate those good damn bloody animals; I've seen someone on this site who is pretty decent at MS Paint but wastes it on bloody animals, at times.
Also what's with the naga obsession with a lot of people? Is it bondage or something?

ED!
this made me LOL, because it's totally true.

you forgot to put something about Naruto...Naruto gets page views... and yes, this is pretty much true
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hmm... I'm definitely guilty of pretty-boys, no excuse there. It doesn't work. I think they're getting wary of it. I even tried good-angel, bad-angel. XD
Nagas... well, it appeals to three different kinds of interests, doesn't it?

This is oh so true
Oh and you forgot make absolutely everything shiny

👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Haha, yeah, you said a lot even leaving out all the fanart. I wonder who is the most portrayed character of all times... Well, I guess it must be Naruto [link] 1349273! OMG!

YAY!!!! i luv this! im not legal!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
"Yay! I'm not legal!" That made me laugh.
This is very true. There are a heck of a lot of popular artists on here who I sometimes wonder how they got so much recognition. O_O

same thing happened to me. i post some original work, and it gets 8 page views. i post an entry to the contest (not that original) and it gets 80.

Oh God I agree completely.
I don't do any of that crap, and that's why a get an average of three comments per submission!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm just dyin' of laughter over here...
So yeah, I'm goin' through your comics section because I never did look at it before. And I am rolling on the floor. Laughing. My gut hurts.

Step 1: Draw Yaoi
Step 2: Write "OMG AWESUME" in random comment boxes.
Step 3: Spam Yaoi
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!
Jokes aside, inflation art is fucking disgusting. It's like, "What would this character look like if she weighed 1000 pounds and lived?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Haha! This is sadly true for some people. This kind of made my day!
Being a furry too, man I got a good chuckle at my own fandom.

I neither have the ability to draw, nor am I female. So all I can really do is # 6... Obviously.
