Description 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. Hope that clears that up.

(It does, but is that the point?)

Funny thingy.

I'd like to start this off with the flame you so desperately think you're going to get. *AHem*
"Omg!!1eleven! ur liek jst jelus taht ur not poplur!shiftkey!!1"

In all honesty this made me laugh, considering that popularity means more to some deviants than the point of posting in the first place. To get feedback and become a better artist. I wonder where that got lost?

My Hinata chibi I drew years back proves that a good portion of the people here are here for mindless fan BS instead of actually appreciating a good piece of art. It's mildly depressing.

Aw man...I'm never going to be popular.


I draw fanart!

But it's for the wrong fandoms...the geeky ones that no one cares about.

Balls.

Rofl xD nice

My artwork is nothing to sneeze at honestly, and I don't draw porn xP either. Art is what people make it I guess.

lol actually I don't know how one would get popular on here. Myself, I draw when I feel like it and if people don't care they don't care. I'm more of a writer anyway.

Funny stuff, and no I couldn't hint any sarcasm you were trying to add .

spinalTapSoundGuy [2010-01-29 22:09:44 +0000 UTC]

This. Except...

I'll admit it; I draw fan art. But I do it because I like to do it, not for the pageviews. I figure that as long as my fan art is primarily for me, I avoid the pitfall of pageview whoring.

And who needs angst when you can have comedy instead?

OMGAWAD I IZ GONNA KILLZ YOUZ!!

No, in fact, this is actually quite sad. About two months ago, I began working on this 3D modeling project called "The Eagleland Project", which is a big huge collection of buildings spanning from the early 1900s Victorian architecture to the 80s modern styles. The whole collection of pictures and such is probably getting around a whopping 3 favorites and 6 comments on a good day. Of course, I do so many different things it's not even funny (and I get attacked for it)...

And I think bishouen men are stupid. What ever happened to testosterone? I actually am quite offended by it.

Anyway, I like this picture, although you forgot those really insane dragon artists who actually think they're dragon spirits and hate our mundane world, the yoai/yuri writers, those people who spam us with video game snapshots, and those who practically do nothing.

ITS SO TRUE!

My God you read my mind. Sigh. I have been a digital designer for 5 years now with my own business... AND DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT FRECKEN PIECE OF ARTWORK IS THE MOST POPULAR OUT OF ALL MY WORK!!!!!!!!! a fricken fruits Basket Fan art I did in grade school.

Its extremely frustrating when you strive everyday to create new and inspiring pieces for the public and yet the only traffic you ever get on your account is for a couple fan art pieces. I was going to take my gallery down at one point because I just couldn't take it anymore.

like GODDAMN!
