Yo, so here is the deal.

To increase your popularity on deviantart. The 'artist' must take the tablet and stylus in which GOD has given him/her and ram it against the wall, utterly destroying it. Because creating original artwork is a SIN against NATURE!

What one must really do, is download a ton (yes, 2,000 glorious pounds) of anime.

Then, proceed to watch them non-stop until you feel as though the split second frame you see is the most beautiful darn thing in the entire freaking world.

Press the PRT SCRN Button, or on a MAC - press command, shift, <-, <-, Hold the right mouse button, spin around 5 times, stop, then spin around the other way 3 times. After that, you jump and slam your head against the keyboard and you will have your awesomely awesome screen shot.

Proceed with said screen shot into a vector program, any will do just fine. Now, with the little pen tool you will TRACE the character to the nearest 1/10,000 pixel! After maybe, 10 minutes of back-breaking, sweat inducing orgasmic pheromone induced clicking and dragging. You'll have a MASTERPIECE that Michelangelo himself would cry over...

Not because it's good, he is crying at what art has become in his time of absence. Even Jesus is looking down saying, "Wow... that's pretty lame. Want me to be reborn again, you know? So I can cleanse the DA world of this monstrosity?"

Meanwhile, GOD sits back in his ORIGINAL golden chair of amazing, sighs and then ponders the meaning of soy milk. Carousing through the headlines, "Tracing is AMAZING! I made fifty quintillion dollars in one HOUR!" when he gets his amazing idea!

"I'm going to TRACE the world!" He shouts to his son, "You hear that Jesus?"

"Yes, I do, but are you serious?" Jesus asks.

"Of course, I needs more moneys, because I is broke," he rebutted.

On Earth, all hell has broken lose as lines formed from mathematical computations spew forth from DA's website. Polluted the planet as Al Gore rants about the effects of Global Vectoring.

"No one on EARTH can ever have predicted such a tragedy us humans have caused! Many men and women are creating 'art' in which they have no actual skill in creating!" He shouted on his pedestal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, the underground railroad is chugging along, generators powering the millions of computers connecting to the DA website, trying to overthrow the V-virus with original artwork, can ANYONE stop this rampage?!

Yes. You. You, and other fellow artists, pick up that tablet. Swear to yourself, that no matter what happens, you will persevere and eventually triumph, as popularity grows cold for the vector maniacs. The fans eventually tire of the same flat colors, the lifeless piles of mathematical formulas, the soulless pieces of dooky they thought was art.

The mindless zombies revert back to thinking, seeing, and feeling individuals which adore and admire original work, and all becomes well in the Post-apocalyptic DA future.
