I liked DA a bit better when I first joined in 2003. I think the overall mood of the site has changed a bit. It was easier to make friends back in the day, but I still enjoy my time there.

Ottomo Is an uke who lives in your pants
i love DA because i always find amazing deviations that inspire me and make me want to make myself better as an artist
The drama has made it a lot less bearable though |

Sush I R BABOON Big STAR of Cartoon
A lotta good artists!! Though I think the dullness and slowness of the site loading on my PC really put me off ahahaaa. But when I did have a DA I think it inspired me to grow.
It's just too dark for me It has some cool features though :] Buh I fear n00bs D8 |

red lol i am a Guitar Hero! D8<
ah inspiring artists!
but the drama lately has got out of hand and there are constanly art theft being committed by lesser known artists~ ; n ; !! xD; er i left da mainly because of the majority favoring fanart and the lack of people to take time and comment~ it saddened me |D;;: D MB is very peaceful right now
|
|
Azurith Is a perverted old man who caught 'em all
Omg the favez + no commentz like killed me the most there ;_____; I'd get like a hundred favez a day and not a single comment ; x ; It only made me wonder why I ever checked my messagez
 And it was alwayz fanartz Once I'd submit an OC my watcherz would all be like -IGNORE- ;_; |||orzAnd when I did get commentz it was mostly like "Hay you who I don't kno, draw me a picture kay?" or "Oh I like your art, be my friend and watch me : D" (Fetalsob) |
|
red lol i am a Guitar Hero! D8<
aw ; n ; *hugglestight* ah yes I know~ fanart is just favored unless you were one of those CG artists with that stupid lousy basic anime style D| ughhh!!
LMFAO damn that's all they think about over there. I'm glad there isn't much of a popularity factor here. ahaha the hidden stats and all that : ) *hughug* |
|
degozaru Is a wannabe dramatician who knows what you did last summer
yehhh T ^T
sometimes i enjoy doing fanart more(is a fanart whore) den originals. but i started to think that, i need more original stuff for my portfolio so yehh... i agreeee with u.................i dont really much love DA like last time because of the popularity and super high pageviews(sometimes even when SUPER SIMPLE sketch can have 10000000++++++ favs and WTF?! nonsense). so yea :// i hope i did not insult anyone here = v= |
|
red lol i am a Guitar Hero! D8<
; n ; !!!!
ahaha i love my Original characters too much not to draw them and spazz over them xD; glad people are taking an interest : ) lol all the popular artists have already reached a million hits where once it was very rare. now there is really no goal over there at DA than to break that mark xD; i know wen-m has like what? 4 million maybe? did you see the whole vector craze? some lame vector and it got over 4000 favorites I was so sickened by it lol *shot* It was just ridiculous! Where was the talent ? I see it as simple tracing. I'm glad MB held up a rule for submitting vectors and other stuff like that. |

chan I've shopped all my life and I still have nothing to wear.
There is a lot of hate on deviantart right now, it got old really fast.

yukisukinomoto is in your fridge eating your sammich
... it's hard to choose one. It was my first art site where I actively uploaded and I made lots of friends there... But... it's such a giant popularity contest there. Even I was starting to try and force myself to work towards getting more views, blah, blah blah. I mean, sure attention is nice, but on that site, it tends to be everything. Plus, I have to say, the drama is insane. and art theft.. and... and I just... >_> it sucks that it became like that. It's not a community anymore.

degozaru Is a wannabe dramatician who knows what you did last summer
its my ever site also, if it isnt for DA i wont do more than just manga
i'm starting to appreaciate art more

yukisukinomoto is in your fridge eating your sammich
yes, I know the feeling. I used to be all squealy over random crap, but now I love photography, and abstract, and all these amazing things that I see everywhere...
But I kinda hate dA more.

sgtskell Is an artist who is doing it wrong
I love dA
 Once you realize every art site has dramaz and art theifz (and while I hope MB won't go down that road, the overwhelming chances say it's going to go down that same road) and learn to take it with a grain of salt, none of it really matters. What matters to me is the artistic talent on the site, and some of the best artists I've ever seen have resided on dA. If you don't care about the pissing contests and laugh at the brats with their panties in a bunch, it's a pretty nice site, all things considered. |
|
degozaru Is a wannabe dramatician who knows what you did last summer
ahahaha.
true. i hope that, upcoming contests and events on MB will get alot of support than just "boo-hoo you suck" kinda thing. |
|
DDS Is a dream chaser who... OM NOM NOM NOM
dA is my favorite website, and has been since I got my account there 3 years ago. I'm able to ignore any popularity contest attitudes, and the fact that fanarts seem to get the most attention, and I find art and artists that I like, as well as being able to show my own improvement in many different mediums.
|
|
degozaru Is a wannabe dramatician who knows what you did last summer
it happens :/
i hate it when ppl fave my art because i draw fanart and when i post OCs, they will "sheet is OC i dont likkit" actually i appreciate REAL art i mean, realistic art than manga cuz, its fun too see real art once in a while, and photography cuz, you can improve better

Kirohaku Is an artist who shoots envy laser beams from the eye
I originally started drawing after finding dA after being inspired (in fact, I still draw inspiration from it). And from there, I met new people and expanded to LiveJournal and Mangabullet.
There's drama, unnoticed talent and art thieves, but maybe that's just a result of having a large community with such a broad, general interest in art and having popularity and money-making as the main goals. Mangabullet seems good because it caters to manga and anime artists. dA is still a great site. I don't think I'll be leaving it soon. |

bakakimi is craving 10069 VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIII!!!
Deviantart never really felt like a community to me because it was so huge. People weren't so friendly as on MB. It's like a crazy dog-eat-dog world there. Not to mention the drama going on and just people blowing things way out of proportion.
But I always go there for the amazing art. It's always inspiring and very motivating to see the beautiful artwork there.

atmosblue Is a dream chaser who was born with the wrong gender
I agree with you.
The community I definitely.. never tried to become part of because... it was just so vast o__o I pretty much go there to share my work, and to look at all the amazing people. Inspiring indeed. |

Miyukiko Is a samurai who finds excuses to cosplay
I saw DRAMAAA, but it's a community. It's bound to have Drama. xDD heck even when I created a small community there was a heck load of drama.
Though I owe alot to DA. I wouldn't have met so many great friends and improved so much as an artist without it xD. Though the quality of DA has gone down alot from since when I first started, and people are less friendly to newer people nowadays |
|
degozaru Is a wannabe dramatician who knows what you did last summer
YAYAYAYA agrees with you.
bcause they started like we do and other artist tend to ignore us when we first enter (unless u r super good and ppl will start worshipping you) = v= |

rose-opal Is a lemming who doesn't give a poop
Aw dA and MB both have their good points... on dA i feel that everything is alot more competitive which isnt too bad an environment if you really want to improve your art! But it also makes everything a bit more stressed..like you have to post something good or make yourself noticed or post fanart blah blah. One thing I hate about dA is the fact that fanarts gain so much popularity while smaller artists who post truly mind-blowing art are ignored. >.>
