DEVart.

[ThruItAll]

Anyone still go on it here? Im thinking bout making mass amounts of GIMP brushes. Cant do it without my friends on DA, so Im asking if I should bother returning if anyone still hangs out here.

[Jopie211]

I don't know what it is, but personally I've found myself visit dA a lot less nowadays. I guess I'm just tired of reading the same one word comments and seeing the same kind of art again and again. Don't get me wrong, it's a great site with some great people, but it's just all so... huge, and feels kind of 'unpersonal', if that makes any sense. I'd much rather get some real C/C from a few nice people I know, than slightly more attention from people I haven't seen before and probably will never see again either.

 

 

 

Bleh, boring post, I'm only talking about myself.

[pryomancer]

I go to it every once in a while.

 

Usually to get tutorials or brushes.

 

 

 

Sometimes I just like seeing the top rated stuff to see how much I suck compared to them.

[Hawks]

I like to put my stuff up... Look at other people's stuff, the daily devs...

[unknowz]

I agree with Jopie.

 

I don't really expect anything out of dA, I use it more as a place to hold all my paintings so I don't have to look for them. The community is nice, but more bent on ego boosting than actual critique (the main thing at least, dunno about the forums).

 

I still visit it fairly often to check if the people I'm watching made new stuff.

[Soa]

I still go there, just not my homepage.

[Ouchy]

I use it, but for tutorials and brushes only.

[Shiny]

I go there every time i'm on the computer. Its kinda sad.

 

 

 

*is back from one whole week of spring skiiing*

 

 

 

** ^^ putting that up there to see if anyone knew I was gone **

[runemetsa]

I still spend most of my internet time in there.

 

 

 

I agree with Jopie, but the community is still awesome and the art quality is great too. I have my subscription and so.

[dsavi]

I think of it as a place to keep up with what art the others are doing. Haven't had time lately to make anything myself. :(

 

Also is where I get all mah C4Ds. It's not as good on tutorials as I'd like to think.

[woopidoo2]

Na, I dont.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually yes, every single day.

 

Im very motivated to promote my work, and I like to post at their Photography forums full of great (and smart) people.

 

 

 

Its a great place, well worth a 1 year sub if you ask me.

[Chazimcgee]

I use it all the time, it's a great place to post my work and get help from the great artists that are on there. The more you put in the more you get out with DeviantART.

 

 

 

:)

[Star.]

Really, I only go on it to check out some FanArt (and half are usually lame) but man, the photo's on there are really good. I usually skim through the 'popular' section and check them out. I have an account but I haven't submitted anything serious on there.

 

 

 

Also, you can find some really detailed tutorials on there.

[krisc6]

I think its time has passed.Its just too big a site, theres not really a community and peopel just see it as way too commercial.I think that these more intimate and specialised communitys who share a passion for what there doing, inspire each other and ultimatly get better are what people will switch to.DA it just seems that a lot of the stuff is ripped or your always hearing of these mass porn spams and i just think the featured stuff just isnt as interesting.

[Nadril]

I used to be real active in it, haven't posted anything in years now though.

[woopidoo2]

One thing that seriously bothers me is all the 'Cosplay' thats happening over there.

 

 

 

All of these no lifers dress up like 'Riku' and who knows what (the only name I can remember) and they post their [cabbage] at the Photography section.

 

Its just very annoying to see those uninspired photos getting 700+ favs, because he/she did something 'funny'.

 

 

 

Another thing that I dont like is the fact that once you become known, and I mean 'seriously' known, it doesnt matter what you post but you will get favs and fame anyway. Take a look at Karil's stuff, he is probably the most popular photographer because of the Cokin filters he uses. He gives his photos a cool color and everybody likes the colors.

I log in once a week to check out the artwork/tutorials.
