What is your opinion on DeviantART?

clum clum · January 27, 2015, 05:08:52 PM

I fucking hate it, personally. It's garbage.

Bunch of Nazis is what they are

It's weeb shit.

Mat Cauthon · January 27, 2015, 05:10:22 PM

I don't mind it, some really great stuff goes up there.
But of course, you get the overwhelming freakish fanbases and their sick art of your favourite character getting bloated like a balloon...

Yes, great stuff does go up there, but most of it is swept under the rug.

Yep. Also the fact that it's so huge and widely used does mean that most stuff does in fact just go completely unnoticed. So that's one reason I quit it years ago. The other reason...again, it's just shit and the community is shit.

Yup. My god, the community, though. It's so cringy and autistic.

The front page is either, freaky fan art/porn/cosplayers getting wanked over.

True Turquoise · January 27, 2015, 05:20:14 PM

All the quality artist's posts get buried with all the ... well... sonic, MLP, Bad stuff on paper and so on.

clum clum · January 27, 2015, 05:21:21 PM

Don't even get me started on the sonic community. Chris-chan is only the tip of the iceberg....

i am karjala takaisin · January 27, 2015, 05:29:07 PM

yeah there's a lot of cringy shit on there but at the same time it's never been hard for me to find genuinely good art either so

Hawk · January 27, 2015, 05:31:32 PM

I like to use it as a place to keep track of the arts I make over the years, and also find some really cool pieces made by others as well. I haven't really had anyone besides my friends comment on my stuff.

Oh yeah, the other thing that really grinds my gears about devART is that it's like the go-to place for blatant art theft. Other art communities generally have more discipline for that kind of thing.

I remember hearing something about one of the admins condoning art theft. Tracing is also a problem there.

Azumarill · January 27, 2015, 05:47:56 PM

90% of the art is pure trash, the other 10% is nice
