Poll: How do you feel about DeviantArt?

[Julianking93]

It's pretty cool.

Some things people do are amazing while others....not so much

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

Like almost anything on the internet, it's a lot of shit made worthwhile by a few gems.

 

[dorkette1990]

I like to throw my art up, but there's a distinct lack of maturity (and way too much porn, in my opinion art and porn don't mix). I realize some erotica is art, but when someone takes a masturbation photo with a grainy cellphone camera, it's not art to me.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I have two accounts there. One for drawings, short stories and photos and, one for perverted drawings, short stories and...well, no photos yet. That would just be strange. I've had 17,000+ hits over both pages which is pretty sweet ^^

 

[Chester41585]

It's pretty bad. Even searching for serious, decent artwork, I have to shovel through pages and pages of depression poems, furry porn, gay porn, and anime porn.

 

[verindae]

I voted Meh cause it's a mixed bag, some of it's great, some of it's awful. That's art for ya I guess, besides the fact that It's all relative to the individual

one word, yaoi

 

[Yureina]

I don't really ever go to it, but I have been linked to some of the quality pieces on that side and ahve been impressed. However, I have also been sent porno-ish pictures from that site as well, which makes me less inclined to take an interest in that site. At present, I don't realyl go there. It's just one of those places on the net I don't check out for varied reasons.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Honestly I've never been on the website before. So I "meh" on it, don't really care if it's deleted or gets an award of some sort.

 

[Snicks]

There's a little game I like to play on deviantart.

Search the name of any video game but add the word "sonic" to the end. Nine times out of ten there will be crossover fanart, often sexual.

Other than that I'm completely indifferent to the site.

 

[Soboth]

well, i've got an account for two years now and its really cool, made me start making my art look cooler, and i get to show them off to the world!
also my skills of drawing has got better because of all the inspiration

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

And then there's stuff like Misty from Pokemon naked and spread-eagled.

I invoke the ancient law of "Pix or it didn't happen".

EDIT: Nevermind... My childhood has been raped.

Spoiler: I did find this Misty pic though...

DeviantArt is mediocre. On one hand you have brilliant artists who draw pictures like http://mikelopez.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1pvft7 (yes, that is pencil).

On the other hand, you have those guys who draw like ten year olds on MS paint and upload it.

On the third hand, you have the nude "art," some of which is actually art, but some of it belongs on... other sites that are solely for adult pictues/hentai.

Holy crap that is a good picture.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go cry about my mediocrity.

 

[Simmo8591]

Full of weird creepy porn that puts me off ever going near it. Im sure there is some genuine 'art' on it but so much of it is just wrong that i dont fancy my odds of finding the clean art

 

[Soviet Heavy]

I go on now and then. I can avoid most of the porn by being really specific with what I'm searching for.

 

[oppp7]

I'll say it's awesome after I stop getting REDIRECTED BY A VIRUS EVERY GODDAMN 3 PAGES.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

if you want weird try rule 34
now thats some messed up stuff
just type rule 34 dead space
(rule 34 of the internet is that if it exists then there is porn of it)

It wasn't messed up in that sense, more that the FBI (or equivalent) will probably be visiting the artist to ask a few questions at some point.
