That Samurai Jack and Aku art in the last one is fantastic!

I don't think there's really anything wrong with the erotic art on DA (which is a more accurate term than "pornographic" really, since erotica's ok to an extent on DA while outright porn goes against the TOS IIRC). If it's not my bag, it's not my bag. A significant amount of it is also fairly well-drawn/photographed, too. One of my favorite artists on DA (who is also a professional comic book artist) posts erotic comics on DA and it is excellent, both for the art and the stories.
DA is a resource that artists use. And while it shouldn't be their only resource especially if they want to make money off their work, it's a valuable one for exposure.

There was an online poll on the site that asked the question; "if you post on DeviantArt, does that make you an artist?"
Over 300,000 people voted on that, with 93% voting "yes".
I myself being a member... Voted "no". To me, you're a hobbyist.
Don't get me wrong; there's awesome artists on the site but in a quantity versus quality environment, the crap ratio is astronomical. Like, in addition to the "the Hedgehog" copy and pasters, there's those who post screenshots of licensed shows, those who don't understand submission policies, and those who do bad Photoshopping to justify a fetish.
I'm not trying to slam the site; I just want to say there's a lot of uninspiring effort, so you gotta be careful.

I'm not trying to slam the site; I just want to say there's a lot of uninspiring effort, so you gotta be careful. If you're a committed artist who is posting on the site, then yes, you still qualify as an artist. Just because you dislike a good deal about DeviantArt doesn't mean that anybody else who uses it automatically invalidates their right to said claim. Second, the good on DA is too good for it to be defined by the repetitive Photoshopping and whatnot. That isn't fair. Hence why I made this thread. Also, I do understand you weren't trying to trash the site. I get your argument, but I really have seen some amazing stuff on it. Just felt like showing it off, 's all.

Me, I open the image in a separate tap on its own, then I copy and paste the address into ProBoard's Insert Image option.

I started re using my Deviantart the past year after abandoning it for a few years. Honestly I just lost self confidence and all that.. It was because I showed some random doodles to people at conventions they insisted I started using DA again so I did. and I'm glad I have.. I don't get many comments which can be disappointing at times but I try not to let it get to me. There is no way I can compete with anything posted here, but that's ok.. I'm not trying to be better than anyone, I enjoy what I do and I want other people to as well. Sadly we live in a world where people will look for anything to bring others down, and in DA's case it is a case of "What you draw isn't really art"... I'm sorry who the f*** put you incharge of what is and isn't art? I will admit there is some very strange stuff on there... Fetishes that I just don't get like the Fat fetish and others I dare not mention, But I find it easy to avoid. Either way I'm glad DA exists and I've even met people in R/L thanks to it. Keep up the Art

Of course this turned into a Sally thread. She's Deviantart's mascot.

I'm going to go ahead and post my own stuff too, why not? Yeah, I realize it's nowhere near the level of some of the stuff posted so far, but I'm still damn proud of it: HD version at my DA gallery!

Indeed.
Colouring and shading are my 2 worst nightmares when it comes to drawing.
No matter how hard I try I just can't get it right >.<

Colouring and shading are my 2 worst nightmares when it comes to drawing. No matter how hard I try I just can't get it right >.< yeah, I can relate. I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of it, but it's still difficult to find a palette that looks right so colours don't clash against each-other. Honestly, I drool with envy whenever I see some of the stuff other people do with it, including the works shown in this thread. Make no mistake, it is a very difficult thing for me as well. That and backgrounds. And perspective. And keeping models consistent and... *continues like that forever because people only ever notice the things they're lacking in*
