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.

Uber LOL this is mostly true... though I have to confess I didn't understand the Naga thing, I think I've only ever seen the one O_o
I don't understand the appeal of girly-guys but I have seen a lot of them.
I know I draw creatures, but I've never drawn a person creature thing O_o... but then again I'm not popular. XD

You forgot faking your own death/fatal disease.

lol so true, but you've forgotten if it's a yaoi stuff it'll be an instant hit as well. lol, i guess it really has to do with whom goes on the sites and what they want to see.

it's funny, one of those parody "how to be popular" things is so totally true XD but hey, I'd love to know who this person is, go ahead and note me, hehehe >->' oh and I totally know someone that fits #5, it's funny, she changed accounts, then left dramatically, then blocked herself and linked everyone to porn to get herself banned, and now she's got a new secret account XD

Wow. Amazing. You've honestly summed up all of dA in one submission. I can categorize almost every item in the Popular section into one of these things!
Although with the bishies, I disagree - they ALWAYS look female. They look like anything BUT men. If it weren't for the lack of boobs, it'd be IMPOSSIBLE to tell they were men! D:
Also, anthro art is usually Sonic-style, but any kind would do actually ._.

Oh, I read the bubble more closely now. So you were right. They SHOULDN'T look male.
Then disregard my second line of text!

Another one is to take the piss out of other people!
That always scores big lmao
My friend actually got peed off that people only ever looked at the emo eyeore she did.
As for me, I do fanfics and photos of characters ^_________^ (and then link my other accounts to here, it's great!)

This picture is so true, along with the I'm leaving forever thing
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
amen to that. You can't go anywhere on DA without seeing stupid inflation pics.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
LMAO!!! That is so funny! -Because you just insulted a whole internet's worth of people to their faces/his or her face! [<-whichever is the correct grammar. XD]
I must applaud you for being ballsy enough to not only illustrate such an idea that "insults"/ makes fun of such a large body of people- but to actually post it on the web as well?!? THAT'S F%$#ING BAD-ASS!!!!!
You get an A+ in my book. ^_^

That's funny, minus the nagas your gallery consists of these things.

Sad but true. There's also the part about fanart and fanfiction. >.>
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
oooooo I think I'll have to try this one since I actually proved the naga-part true. Drew one crappy picture in 20 minutes and coz it was half fishiesnake it got more favs than my usual stuff : P Even if it was plain crap.
Life is cruel.

There are milions of "how to be popular in DA" parodies, but this one is just lovely

Compared to some of my hard worked on drawings they don't get the credit that some other doodles earn.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ugh, so true -_-;; I'm a photographer, and I think I'm pretty amateur but I would like to at least get a few more views then I actually do. It's so irritating because I look at crappy fanart and they have a million times more than I do. It's so frustrating!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
wow .. SO FUNNY XD!!! Exactl, wtf is up witht he big boobs plastic look thing, it's like, OMG, BARBIE WITH IMPLANTS!!! They defy the laws of physics and biology with there magical power >_____>

This is fairly accurate, based on my experience.
Some random person: Because your fanart sucks!
