Here are the members of =RomanianPhotographer that celebrate their birthday this month. Please show them some love and make them feel special for their birthday.
Curious about your future? You should be. I bet if Billy Mays or Michael Jackson knew what last month had in store for them they maybe would have done something about it. They didn't read my horoscopes and look what happened. So read this shit - it could save your life.
Keep yourself up-to-date with the happenings of the forums, from lolants to lolzebras. If you haven't been raped enough by the media with reminders that Michael Jackson is no more, we'll just keep on rapin', but we promise to be 10% funnier, and that's funny that even Jeff Goldblum's death can't amount to. Ever.
Follow Marvin da Martian as he explores the dA universe using various techniques like random deviant/deviation, dice-guided selection, and wikipedia game style adventures. As you adventure, may you learn something about the wonderful universe we all enjoy!
In a recent interview, Michael's longtime dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein confirmed that Michael had vitiligo. Dr Klein maintains Michael Jackson's skin became paler over the course of his life due to the skin condition vitiligo, which causes skin to lose pigmentation. He insisted that "Michael was very proud of his black heritage."
Something needs to be done about all the screenshots and mangascans, people keep making them though they are not allowed. Read to find out how we can stop them.
I'am Featuring unknown talented artists'! (we're all talented, so dont think you're not good enough.) Talk to me, and I'll get your artwork up, and ready to be known!! * Everyone Is Welcome!! *

We all know that the title deviantART has its name well-founded, over a long period of time I have begun noticing more and more...well...strange, pornographic things floating about. Recently I was speaking with several friends and when I spoke of dA, they immediately regarded it as a porno site. What a shame.
I believe the increasing photos and artwork of nudity and drawings of yaoi and sexual themes have become somewhat of a problem. Not only is dA recieving a bad image, but I'm not fond of seeing half naked females with over-sized breats appearing on the most popular deviations.
Apparently, that is considered art. O_o In the real world, this would be deemed the production of a hormonal crazed male with no sex life.
Art is a form of expression. Art is a way of conveying one's feelings. Art is many things...but when art becomes mere photos taken of women exposing themselves...then I don't know what to think anymore.
Again, this is just an opinion based soley on what I have seen. I'm not pressuring anyone to have something done about. I would like to hear everyone's views and opinions on the matter if that is possible.
It's clear to me that a lot of Deviants here have sexual fetishes.
I agree completely. Too often I browse the art galleries here... and now I'm seeing more and more adult blocks on them. Not for violence, but for nudity.
Nude photos are for artistic purposes here on dA, and some people (a LOT of people) are abusing that. Like the example you put up. It's just repulsive, the picture itself and the way anyone could consider it art.
While I hate to say that, and rag on other people's personal 'art,' I really have to. There is no art in that picture, just a naked woman dressed up like a badass. It's raunchy.
The other two, however. Notice how the focus isn't really on them, but on their emotions. That's what I want to see in a nude portrait, not some girl's huge breasts or... something else (I'm not mature enough to even type it).
Nude portraits have always been about emotion and self-realization, not sexual fantasies. But that's what they're turning into, which really is a sad thing, because I've always liked TASTEFUL nude photos, the ones with meaning in them.

What do you consider over-sized and what does the size of a woman's breasts have to do with artistic merit in first place. Are you saying big boobs are pornographic?
Apparently, that is considered art. O_o In the real world, this would be deemed the production of a hormonal crazed male with no sex life.
Everyone has their own definition of art and pornography and just because an image like that would naturally arouse most men as well as some women does not mean it can't be considered to be artistic. And believe it or not, there are men that can look at nude women without turning into dick-driven robots. And there are men with a sex life that also like such imagery.

Now I'm laughing. You are obviously biased. I think nudity is one of the strongest and most natural forms of self-expression, if not THE strongest and most natural.
Now I consider this art, even though it is nude.
Even though?
I mean if you have a problem with women exposing themselves like that then that's your thing, but this news article does not help your argument because your bias is just too obvious.
I like your response much, because you're pointing out the things that disturbed me in such an article. Nudity may be art, because it is nudity, not even though it's nude.
I just don't believe that nude could be a bad way of expressing oneself, even though I think there's some limits to find, some frontier to draw between pornographic and nude.
Fenris-of-bloodmoon, I think you melt these two things. A bit maybe, but for me, you do melt it. Some shot can show the totality of
I agree Theres kid on this webesite adn they shouldnt be exposed to this

Devious Technology is very proud to announce one of deviantART’s most highly anticipated projects – Portfolio: The Awesome Version!! Portfolio is the simplest and most professional tool on the Internet for formal presentation and review of artwork, and the best part is: it's available to everyone for FREE!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
DaVinci, Picasso, Monet... these are all names I'm sure you've heard of before. They are the Masters of the art world and their talents are world renowned. But have you ever looked at their pieces and thought to yourself "I could do better" or "that would look awesome in a comic style"? Well here's your chance. How would you have painted DaVinci's Mona Lisa? Show me using only Vectors.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
