Does anyone have a DeviantART account?

Lots of people here do, especially those who hang out in the fan art thread. Most people put a link to their DA account in their signature. Your stuff is really good, by the way.
 
Yay, you got a DA account!
 
if you add the watermark, yeah I guess
Im actually going to do that now, cuz you never know
 
I do, it's in my signature, so...
 
I checked out DA a while back, but I found that I wasn't alone in thinking that it was a really, really poorly designed site. The talent on DA ranges from absolutely amazing, to work that looks like it were done by a 3 year old. It takes several pages just to see a full size image, and then they throw ads up every few pages just to slow it down even more.

I'm surprised it's as popular as it is with it being so unfriendly to new users. I met with with a screenwriter a few years back to discuss a project, and he had told me he looked at several concept artists on DA. The problem was that he couldn't find where the hell the gallery of each artist was because the site is so cluttered.

But I'm curious, what do you guys find in the site that make it so appealing? What made you open an account with them? Is it the social aspect or do you just like checkin out artwork?

For me, it's not that I found it appealing, I just was referred to it to host my pics at full size cuz at the time, the size of my memory wasn't enough to handle all of my pieces in layered and jpeg modes. At first I had an Elfwood, but they made everything way too detailed and constricted that I don't even think my account there exists anymore.

So I went to deviantart, and it was fairly easy to understand and pretty much accepting of any kind of art, so I made an account.

I like checking out others' artwork as well, though I do agree about the extremely random quality of art.

I'm more of a really bad photo manipulator that just gets bored and does it for fun. The whole thing about being a big corrupt emo who's fantastic at drawing Anime and wants to move to Japan, that scene really isn't for me....
 
i think you only see the ads if you don't have an account. i never see ads?
 
Depends if you/someone else pays to remove them.
