Up to a point, DeviantArt's overdose of cliché is liberating. If you want to draw a romantic couple in a autumn forest, there will be no high-brow critic coming around to tell you that you're making hopeless Kitsch, totally out of touch with any -ism of the 20th or 21st century.
But then again, going through a recent feature I thought: there has to be more to digital painting than pining waifs in long skirts, werewolves, blood-stained angels, androgynous Japanese boys and lots of cutesy cartoon animals.
So I went through the most recent output looking for work that more or less jumped at me, didn't feature any people with pointy ears, and added some old favorites of mine.
