DeviantART - what is it?
Also known as dA, deviantArt is an online artist comunity dominated by older deviants(or users) with giant followings and people who draw anime and pretend to be Japanese. Despite this, great art can be found without too much trouble (unless you like literature).
It is also a place emos often mistake with MySpace, and therefore flood it with self portraits and bad poetry.
Ex. 1: I love deviantArt. I have many good friends and access to great art. Wowee!
Ex. 2: Dammit! Every time I hit the random Deviant button, I get some depressed 13 year old or some dime-a-dozen anime jerk spouting "kawaii"! GO BACK TO MYSPACE AND 4CHAN!!!
What does "deviantART" mean?
An empire of mostly average art, though there are quite a few that are good. Sadly, this empire is overruled by fanart rather than creative, original art. Anything else other than fanart hardly ever gets noticed.
Your drawing/photo/movie/poem may get viewed by some, but usually no more than 30 times. If you get a comment on it by someone, that's usually the last comment you'll ever get on it, unless you have some friends (AKA DeviantWatchers) that like your artwork. If you're lucky, it might even get a favorite.
On the other hand, if you submit a drawing of a character from, say, Full Metal Alchemist, or Inu Yasha, You may get as much as 100 views or more within the same hour that you submitted it. These usually get more comments and favorites, especially if you draw the male characters looking all bishie-like (The deviantart community is mostly girls, so it's natural that they'd like this kind of stuff).
Then there are the Deviants that are extremely popular and worshipped by thousands. I have no idea how they got this popular, but the case with these people is that, no matter WHAT they submit, no matter how stupid it looks, or how simple it is, it appears on the front page in the "Today's Favorites" section. Their artwork gets about 500 favorites per picture, as well as about 8 pages of comments by people saying how cute it is, how much they love Edward Elric, or how much they love the artist, despite the simplicity of the work. There ARE some photos/drawings/movies though which I agree deserve to be there, but most of them are just random new pictures submitted by "a popular artist"
There are some less-popular artists out there who submit more interesting things than what appears on the front page, but sadly, since their name is not "Rimfrost", or "bleed-man", nobody notices their work.
So, to sum it up, deviantart is a nice place. I just wish that others' original artwork would get noticed as well. I go there too, and submit drawings of my own characters, but the only ones who see it are my friends. It would be good if all art was appreciated, and I'm not simply talking about the original art of ONLY the popular artists, but EVERYONE's art.
An original drawing on deviantart:
"........... yea."
A Fanart drawing on deviantart:
"LIEK OMG I LUVVV IT!! ITS THE BEST THING I EVR SAW!! OMG I <3 INUYASHA ^_^_^_^" (repeat this x100 and you have a popular artist's drawing)
DeviantART - what does it mean?
An online art community, where users, called Deviants, can sign up for a free account and upload their artwork, called Deviations. You can subscribe for a fee to receive additional benefits (such as ad-free browsing). Generally a nice place, with many intelligent and friendly members who can offer helpful insight and advice. And yes, there ARE some really amazing artists on dA who fully deserve the recognition they get.
And the abundance of mediocre manga fanart isn't even that bad - at least they tried to put some sort of artistic effort into it. What's truly horrible are the countless adolescent girls who feel the need to pepper dA with cam-whoresque pictures under the guise of expressive portraiture. Please, do it somewhere else. It's extremely selfish and egocentric, and it ruins the experience for those of us who take dA seriously.
If you truly enjoy art and put thought and effort into your work, and are willing to offer insightful, intelligent comments, please, sign up. deviantArt needs more people like you.
I found a gorgeous painting on deviantArt yesterday, so I added it to my favourites and left a comment.
If deviantArt turns into MySpace I swear I'm going to strangle something.
DeviantART - meaning
It's a site where you can showcase your images and stories. However, the more popular artists of dA gets their art viewed more often. Anime/manga fanart are usually viewed more often than original art.
I submitted my recent artwork at Deviantart.
DeviantART - definition
Where fetishes are born and dreams go to die.
"I used to be normal, but after browsing deviantart for a week I'm now attracted to fat anthro animals farting and people turning into female dragon mermaids. Help."
DeviantART - slang
A web based art community with many users. Users can submit their art to this community where it can be viewed by others. There are many great artists in this community. However there are many crappy artists as well who only submit pictures of half naked women in order to get a massive amount of page views and comments on their pictures by young testosterone loaded teenage boys.
"deviantart is awesome apart from all the people submitting shit just to get attention."
DeviantART
A website where you can share your art with the whole world. Founded in August 2000, it's been there before Twitter, YouTube, and even Facebook. You can submit your art, or if you don't have an art-making program in the computer, you can check out something called deviantART muro, which is a great substitute. You can even making a living in the website, by selling Prints and deviations, or art, as Premium Content. There are Premium Members that can customize their page into unique pieces of art. Membership or not, you can still customize your page by using thumb codes, which are simple codes that allow other people's deviations to show up on your page. You can also make Groups of a specific topic. That's all, but if you want more, see the excitement for yourself at www.deviantart.com!
deviantART is so cool.
DeviantART
A website that is home to many artists, and a good way to show off your artwork to the rest of the world. Although sometimes, it's not as much "Artwork" as it is "Photos of naked people cutting their wrists" A good site nonetheless.
Person 1:Hey, did you see Darthpickle's deviantART account?
Person 2:Yeah, that guy's awesome!
