    DeviantArt anyone?

    Hey Off-Topic guys!

    just wondering: is there anybody else here on DeviatnArt? Photographers or graphicartists?

    Also, if you are registered there: what do you think about premium users getting more attention with their "art"?


    You can add me as a friend if you want http://thechosenpesssimist.deviantart.com/

    Do I have an account: no
    Am I ok with people getting more attention just because they got a premium account: same as above.

    I don't use my account a lot, but here it is : http://hipnosworld.deviantart.com/

    About the premium users, well, I don't care really xDD

    My page is in my sig, though I'm not a professional. As to your question, why shouldn't paying users get more for their money?

    Good art always finds its way to the surface eventually.

    I have an account... I update it a couple times a month - sometimes less... usually with finished work, sometimes not... http://atmadog.deviantart.com/

    EDIT: Lol at me not being a premium account holder.

    I dabble in Inkscape from time to time. I don't pretend to be the best and I always try to improve.

    I have a deviant but I'm so afraid to post things, I'm very.... insecure with my work.

    Mine is in my sig. I don't really bother posting much there since I don't do a lot of fan art and that seems to be what gets you pageviews sadly.

    Just went and watched everyone

    http://chaosbringer99.deviantart.com is mine. As for premium... It's not a big deal to get one. People think my work is good enough to pay money for, and I use some of that for my premium account which in return gets me more exposure. You also get some extra features, so whatever. Sure a lot of the art seen on the front pages might not be considered "good" by some people, but it's more of a popularity contest than skill. Manga/Anime, nude photography and fanart is the most popular way to get views. I just tend to do my own thing, and I throw in the occasional fanart now and then to attract more viewers. It's all a strategy.

    Yeah I typically only post fanart, but I'll occasionally toss up some non-fan art to have a visual record of my progress from month to month... I definitely get very few hits overall, but it's alright... sometimes I feel like I post mostly for myself and the Favorites section is a nice way to consolidate inspiration, so I can check up on those artists later and attempt to emulate their techniques or whatever... dA for exposure... it's a tough thing to come by unless you are really an amazing artist which unfortunately I'm not yet, but for personal growth and progress tracking, it's pretty nice.

    Heh, most of my current projects are fan art. I do have a few side projects going on. Anything on my page under "Astarnia" for example is actually for the book I'm working on. But fan art is a good place for practice and inspiration and right now I need a lot of it if I want to get good. I don't care if I ever become "stellar" or sell a print (I set my account up for selling prints for teh lulz, I have no illusions about it.) I'm also not terribly concerned about exposure, but I do feel a little warm inside when someone favorites one of mine.

    Link in my sig.

    I don't really care about how popular an artist gets on dA, or how they do it. I just want to display my art for my friends and have a nice selection of anime artstuffs and nature photographs to browse.

    I do have a account but i dont realy have anything special on it just some bad drawings as i cant draw http://havoc271.deviantart.com/ its also in my sig.

    Yeah, I have an account (http://oreofox.deviantart.com/), but it's empty. Has been for years. I may upload some pictures of my dogs, as I can't draw worth a damn, and I have no paper to draw on. I would love to get a tablet of some sort, as I think it could motivate me to draw. But trying to convice that it would be worth the price tag to get something that goes with something I don't currently do, is a rather losing battle.

    As I said, I might reupload photos of my dogs (old and new), and possibly some of the drawings that I do have already scanned.
