To be honest, im really pissed and sad at the moment.


At first about me - Im one the "rare breed" here on deviantart that still DOES art and thinks of himself as an "artist" and not a "community member" only.


When I first came here to Deviantart I thought this site is the coolest thing on the net, because it was about art and people doing art, great art.

When I then joined Deviantart, it was the first time for me that people actually cared about what I am drawing and even encouraged me to go on, to improove and they sometimes even gave usefull hints to me.

There was a great art community and people that did good art were recompenced by the community and gained attention by getting favorites and pageviews - like it was ment to be, wasnt it ?


Everything was fine ....

But now I feel like all this left Deviantart and what stayed is a cheap copy of one of the ridiculous forums you can find on the entire net where its manly about shit, getting attention by any means and some people posting cool artworks.

Today the only people who get attention are the ones who constantly supply the "community" with stubborn memes, naked pictures which are NO ART, bad handy photographies of their own butt, stupid tags and journals about shit like killing themselves and other retarded stuff.

It feels like whole Deviantart is invested by an extreme immature and childish like behaviour that urges real artists and their artworks in the background.


How often have I seen artists here on Deviantart that have magnificant art, ten times better then the most pictures that are seen on the so called "Frontpage" and how often have they barely more than 1000 pageviews, even if they deserve hundret times more, and how often have I seen those attention whores that have like 5 pictures on their page but about 10.000 journals full of crap, and how often are they the F**** CENTER OF THE WORLD !!!


Maybee Im oldschool or maybee people like me have become outdated here on Deviantart, but I always believed this site is, or was about art ... and I know Im not the only one here that is sick of all of this


In times where you get 10.000 views on a journal and barely 20 on art, I have to ask

- when did we cross the line that divided us from an ordinary "attention whores" community - when did Deviantart die ?






Now the only thing that is left for me to say is :

- where have you left artists - take me with you
