Well, I hate to be an armchair psychologist, but I'm gonna get all armchair psychologist. It's my hunch that at least some of them (the ones that originated the subculture) experienced some sort of childhood trauma that arrested their psychological development and caused them to fixate on a particular aspect of their childhood as a means of escape (ie cartoons, which naturally feature talking animals etc). Now, however, I think it's more self sustaining. the nerd subculture is popular with weirdos because it's terrified of rejecting anyone at all, but even regular nerds will reject people who are antisocial enough. The furry\fetish subculture rejects literally no-one, so people who are immature\have extremely fragile egos are attracted to it. Also animal people are easier to draw than real people, and anything furry\fetish will have a built in fanbase no matter how lovely. So Deviantart, a place that's really more about getting +FAVs and gushing comments (you might actually be banned for critiquing) as a means of self validation, causes people who can't draw for poo poo but still want +favs and attention to draw furry and other fetish garbage.

Yeah you can try going into some in-depth analysis all you want but that simple doodle about Internet access is pretty spot-on. Some guy gets a crush on Gadget from Rescue Rangers as a kid and instead of growing out of it, he goes on the Internet, and finds a lot of weird porn and like-minded people that would have been impossible to find 15 years ago. So instead of just letting it go as a stupid kid thing they get convinced that they are attracted to anthropomorphic animal cartoons. Next thing they know they are animals. Et cetera. Not saying that everyone that has a silly childhood cartoon crush will end up this way or that it wasn't possible for it to happen before, but it's just way easier to fall down that hole now.

Did you find certain communities on the internet before you had time to level out? Game over.

I found this guy a while back. A confurvative if I ever saw one. http://mountaincomicsstudio.deviantart.com/His gallery is highly NWS due to large amounts of nude animal-girls although what he draws can barely be called "human". His drawings make low-grade anime look like high art. He is, as far as I know, around 20 years old and in college. Here are two examples: Barry O and the Dream Team  RAP MAN PREZ Cute Otter Girl-Pin Up II  quote:Yes, this is for real. Sorry folks, but I'm messed up. He seems to be on a New York Yankees kick at the moment, but he did make a comic where a band (like 5 max) of American assassins for hire or whatever drop into Germany in 1945, storm The Eagle's Nest, and kill a whole unit of Russian soldiers because they were paid to get Hitler's scalp before the Russians did. Then they deliver some random German soldier's scalp to their client, get paid, and blow up their client so he doesn't find out. "I'm a Capitalist," the protagonist Les quips in one panel.

PalmTreeFun posted:I'm 20 and in college, and a computer science major of all things. I'm bad at art, but by some miracle I'm still better than this guy. It is a mystery. If you look at his earliest work he's gotten... not better, but different, but over the past several years he hasn't changed his scratchy lines or searchlight-sized eyes; you'd think he'd eventually recognize that "it's my style" doesn't excuse such abominations. I've played a lot of DA bad arts over the years, and unfortunately most are just mediocre bad and not worth a second glance. Here are a few others I've found notable enough to save that haven't been deleted over the months:  http://solios.deviantart.com/I really don't know about this guy. If you stumble on the right picture, he seems like a typical BBW-lover artist. But then you find the mutant cowgirl-musclegirl-alien...things. And then you wish you hadn't. http://toxicitystrand.deviantart.com/ This guy deserves a mention because back when I found him he was YoungEmoFuhrer, but has sadly deleted that account and all the pictures. There's traces of it on his new one here, but that account was full of gay slash art with mpreg emo Nazis. I seriously don't know what the gently caress. http://airbagguy.deviantart.com/ Yes. This person has an airbag fetish. Specifically, girls getting hit by deployed airbags. No nudity, no gore, just... girls and airbags. The strangest one I've seen yet. He actually requests, commissions, and holds contests for people to draw him hot airbag on girl action. This guy has abandoned his account, but this one page he drew was the gem of that night. NWS for poorly-drawn sideboob: http://i.imgur.com/CUAnh.jpg Sometimes I get a thalidomide arm too when I don't get a blow job. One of the games my friends and I would play is "Find the Cyclops". Basically, you browse the Manga & Anime section of DA looking for a Cyclops like so:  Which is 100% of the time a character with an emo hairstyle that covers one eye, but the artist is either too lazy or bad and either makes the eye too big or puts it smack-dab in the middle of the head so there can't anatomically be a second eye on the face. Bonus points if the character is named "Neko". Finally, this just irks me. When I first found DA the thing that was all the rage was "Photomanip", which in the parlance meant "find a screenshot of your favorite anime/character and draw over it in MS Paint to be your OC", like so:  Some people still do it, but it's been superseded by "bases". Bases are when someone takes a promotional picture or screenshot (or fanart!) of their favorite anime and then draws over it in Paint to be a template for others to use (while simultaneously not crediting the original art and demanding people credit them for the base). Some are... not too bad, to be honest. Most are mediocre, and some are just painful. Usually they are done by people without a proper grasp of anatomy (and used by people with even less understanding), so when making the base, if part of the body is obscured by clothing, or hair, or something that was in the original picture, you get things like:  Wonky anatomy  Missing body parts  Ubiquitous misshapen heads.

I have, when I was four. I learned two important life lessons that day - 1. Cats do not ever, under any circumstances, no matter how much you try to delude yourself, want to be ballerinas. 2. Cats have sharp claws. Speaking of sharp, why the gently caress would anyone want to gently caress a hedgehog. I can't think of a worse animal to want to gently caress.

These shows, even if they were once funny, never looked good.As for the larger topic, the question to me is no longer how deviantart became a writhing cesspool of incestuous hollow compliments, but why genuinely competent artists still feel it''s cool to hang out there.

Whatev posted:I'm not an expert on this poo poo, but the ConceptArt.org forums seems to be a far less stupid choice for this sort of thing, especially if you're trying to improve and not just be gushed on by idiots. There are a bunch of artsites out there but the most popular one is Deviantart, which I think attracts professionals because it has an easy marketplace system which I don't remember conceptart having. Conceptart is more of a place where you share among peers on how to improve, job listings and more professional stuff. (It doesn't mean Conceptart doesn't have amazing horrible art though) I remember Conceptart having their own threads on the worst deviantart and Elfwood art, but I can't seem to find them.

You really don't have to venture much further than the "Newest" section on the main page to find abominations. "crazy cats"   "Scream" submitted to "macabre & horror," but probably not for the reason the artist intended.  "SOPHIE'S GOTTA SNEEZE"  "Forever" *~calligraphy~* And the sequel:  "Love U Forever"

I love how they all feel the need to put "darksupersayanburrito-chan iscopywrite xXyiffturd420Xx do not steal!" on their pictures. You'd think one of them would take the time to look up the difference between trademark and copyright, but I guess that's just too much to ask. Around the time I just totally gave up on DA "pose theft" was starting to become a minor moral panic.

Wow. A lot of fellow Complaints forum refugees. Hello. You know what I love? Pixel art. But not the pixel art category on dA.  "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SHAMPOO" WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE NAME OF PIXEL ART?  Nice compression there. NOT PIXEL ART. "i am sry, but its for my use only... sry to upset who wanna use this..."  "This one is actually a living miricle masterpeice, because I had accidently saved it halfway as a JPEG file so I had to redo the entire head."   Oh look, something that's actually pixel art and PILLOW SHADING. loving PILLOW SHADING.  Then there are all of the Pokemon sprite rips turned into terrible spliced "Fakemon", Minecraft screenshots, Gaia avatars, and "doll bases" that are just traced from anime screenshots. So if you want to find pages and pages of nothing but poo poo, guaranteed, go to the pixel art category.

This thread is great. Finding terrible poo poo on dA is a great way to waste time. However, it reminded me of how much I absolutely can't stand people that ask for critique, and then either argue with it or straight-up ignore it. Aside from like half of deviantART, I go to an oekaki board with a girl that constantly does this. It's especially annoying when people take the time to draw redlines for them and they get ignored. I've gotta say that this is one of my biggest pet peeves ever. Ugh. Anyway, more awful art. Here's a fun one, find terrible commissions. People actually payed money or points for these things.
