DeviantART

[Cooper]

A.K.A. home to the internet's largest community of creepy-ass fetishists and original characters with a big fucking F in originality.

Despite that, however, there are some very talented artists on that website that I admire (Wouldn't be on DA without them).

Here's some of 'em in here

Piranhartist

MischiefLily

Atrox-C

If you use DeviantART, what are your most admired artists there? It's a creepy place but I want to focus on the good shit, ya know.

I don't know when and how DeviantART became "weird", but I noticed it, that somehow, that place began to change in terms of quality and "picture types" (sadly in a kinda bad way).

When I started to be active on DeviantART, it was smaller and not that much known I guess? However, the amount of "weirdness" on there is really noticeable and I feel a little ashamed actually now to be on that platform , as people think, I would be part of that group of "weird people" .


However, People I like to see new stuff from are DAV (amazing art style, mostly anime stuff) and my friend Cyangmou (who works on the graphics of a indie game called Tower 57, which looks very well animated and detailed).

As for myself, I show every kind of work (artworks and concept, fan arts and original character art which actually don't look like copy-pasta characters, pixel and traditional art).

Do any of you know how to edit and animate digitized sprites?
Like Pit Fighter / Mortal Kombat?

Huh ? To edit sprites you use your pixel/graphic program of choice (mine is GraphicsGale for example) and then... well, you modify the graphics, which you/someone have ripped from the games.
 
This is how GraphicsGale looks like:

Spoiler

However, those two games used pictures of figures/people/models and put those in form of sprites into their games, so I don't think editing them would be that easy and good. Because of those "photo sprites", the sprite style will be properly to hard too replicate. For animations, I also use GraphicsGale, but for that, you have to pay for a full version of it, to be able to export animated .gif files.
 
 
Wait, what does this have to do with DeviantART again ?

Uh...No. This is not the place for that. Go ask someone on DA.

I had a Deviantart page like 4 or 5 years ago, but I didn't really like the people there and let the page die. I tried again early last year to bring it back, but was still unsatisfied with the website.

Understandable. So long as there are websites there will be bad people on them.

so i started a deviantART account when i was about 12 back in 2008. made a few "buddies" while i was there but then i kinda got bored of it and closed it. i do have a newer account but i only ever lurk around dA these days. while it is a little odd to come across a freedom planet and sonic crossover made by someone who was probably 10-12, i just keep in mind that i DEFINITELY had one of those phases growing up. heck, we all probably have.

but...

(rest of this is a bit NSFW, read at your own caution. i'm not telling you to read this so don't get mad at me okay)

Spoiler

after i got tired of deviantART i ended up getting more into anthropomorphism, and eventually joined fur affinity, where yes, fetishism of all sorts runs rampant. tbh that kinda stuff doesn't bother me (to an extent, there are some that i'm pretty uncomfortable with, but not a big deal - i just avoid seeing them). in fact, i draw NSFW all the time nowadays, so i'm obviously used to the community, as well as the tumblr art community (THE MORE CIVIL AND HUMANE SIDE OF TUMBLR, OKAY?!). while i do want to start projects that are SFW, NSFW art is just something for me that i can temporaly take part in while i don't have time for those projects. lol

and quite frankly, fetishists on fur affinity and tumblr are MILES cooler and less creepy than what we see on deviantART and 4chan.

also, here's someone who i recently discovered: http://henriettalamb.deviantart.com/ he's an awesome dude who draws really cute stuff~ check out his comic if you like anime, MLP and other cute animal cartoons!

It's what you do best and there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm fine with Tumblr though. I'll take it over Youtube's community anyday.

I've also been moving away from DA a bit myself. I find myself having more to do here.

I admire this artist you've showed me! I'm really digging the linework.

I've had an account for six years now. Only started uploading stuff in 2015 after a guy from the Sonic spriting community found me.
Besides uploading sprites, and some artwork. I also enjoy making stuff with MMD and XNA. (Have yet to do the same with SFM)

With this year, I've started to buy commissions from there by some really friendly artists. Though I only go for the ones that use PayPal.

Commissions I've bought so far (Warning: Fanservice heavy content)

Two of Felicia in swimsuits by Flowery-Tan (She's also a fan of her. )

A chicken girl made to celebrate Year of the Rooster by Haarmades (Be careful, though. A lot of his stuff is NSFW)

Two cute chibi swimmers by PsychoFoxPickle. (She makes NSFW stuff as well. Just to warn anyone)

Another swimsuit Felicia by LadyBarbero (She's got really cheap prices for commissions)

I'm also on a waiting list for a commission due in April by Shoxxe. He specializes on scuba diving themed artwork. Mostly of female characters.
Decided to ask for one after missing out on his free requests for Christmas. Poor guy got bombarded by too many idiots.

[Cooper]

Those artists have some really good shading techniques, as well as use of color.

[Maxpphire]

I remember when our very own Metaru was put in charge of doing the Featured Artworks for sprites.

He made sure to choose good pieces of art and not just popular shit. They fired him for doing that lmao.

[Kold-Virus]

I'm losing most of my patience and love for DeviantART. I'll level with you. My crush is the only reason I'm still there. I closed the Tabuu account and made one called MoltenLavaGames. It's mostly for my games and some personal stuff. All I can say is "meh". Nobody gives a shit unless you're drawing what's "it".

[miyabi95_]

so i decided to bring my sfw art to dA. lol

You have very cute art.

For a few weeks, I've been on a DA chat with a friendly group of Felicia fans, hosted by NekoHybrid.
He's doing a series of artworks based around catgirl versions of Capcom's ladies. Though, only the ones he likes.

Made this last night with XNALARA (Not sure where to put it)

Yes. I do find the 4th wall jokes in Sonic Boom to be the worst I've seen/heard in a cartoon. (It's also becoming an annoying trend lately)
