How I feel about DeviantArt

Posted by Absinthe - July 26th, 2012

DeviantArt has to have one of the worst user base on the whole fucking internet, they bitch and complain when you give an honest elaborate critique and are unable to read within context of proper grammar, they dismiss every negative critique as a mere internet troll and become petty with whose art is better.

Honestly to me, DeviantArt is just one giant Dollar Tree, whereas Newgrounds is more of an over sized Target. One store has a lot of knock off "forget-me" titles whereas the latter has a copious amount of well known brands.

So How I submit Art

Facebook- gets fucking everything
DeviantArt- Gets refined sketches and finished works
Newgrounds- finished products

: Like I would never submit this to Newgrounds cause frankly it's dull as shit

Technically but not personally.

Well, it shows that you're practicing, and in the end, that's all that matters. Keep it up, and show us if you've improved any, okay? Just keep on posting things like this, and we'll try and help you out! : )

I completely disagree with you on DeviantART, by the way. There are a lot of people who will offer critique, and frankly if you can't take it, the complaints forum is where you end up. People will call you out for not being able to take critique. They take art as both serious and fun over there.

Personally, I think DeviantArt is nothing but a place for people to submit their fanart now. Only RARELY do I find any original content these days and sometimes it's not even good. I honestly want to find a site where one can exhibit their own creations without having to worry about being panned by Narutards and MLP fanatics.

LOL. love this article XD
Well... I think I'll agree with you on DA, though I'm not sure if you talking about specific period....
'cause a couple of years ago, it was MUCH better than now.

You are right, I only joined Newgrounds 4 days ago and already got more exposure than 6 years of deviantart. The quality filters and encouraged participation are what made newgrounds a superior community.
