Many of you should've already noticed, but during the past few months, there has been a huge ammout of fanart drawings around DeviantART. Many of you, including me as well, like the deviations, no doubt about it, but it's clearly something that has already been created by someone. Some deviants have even started to dissapear from DeviantART claiming this to have become "a Fansite", which is why many would like to see more original work.

Not that i don't like fanart or even appreciate it, i really do, but in my opinion, the most creative and what could be good works of art in this community are living in the shadows of the fanart community.

Help DeviantART by simply creating something to call your own. Fanart is appreciated, but let's try not to overflow it. Creativity, originality, and conceptual characters are being lost by the fanart fever. Don't let this get to you folks who make original works that go unnoticed because of fanart.
