Artist's Comments

I'm going to die for this, I just know it.



And I left out the most surefire way to get popularz! FANART! A WHOLE LOT OF IT!



IN FACT, TURN FANART INTO ANGSTY ANTHRO. OR INFLATE YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER LOLZ. OR MAKE THEM BISHIE KAWAII.



Oh yeah. My ass is FLAMED for this.

EDIT: The naga bit is referring to one particular artist here on DA who is talented, but has a rather... uh, interesting style. And she's obsessed to the point of Uber!Creepy about her crazy pretty boything naga people. I won't mention any names, because I don't mean to offend her or her fans, it's just... well, with the 3+million pageviews, obviously pretty snake-type things make you popular. ;) Hope that clears that up.

I know, it's like people here don't bat an eye at originality on this site. I have an original comic going on that get's maybe 6 comments per page at the most. Yet, somehow, people are still going gah-gah over my old Teen Titans fan comics. Especially the ones featuring Raven and Beast Boy.

sadfadfjjlk. Agreed.

...I'm guilty of the girly-boys all the way. ;P And the fanart for one series. I like them guys-that-don't-look-like-guys. I am ashamed.

...The angsty anthro stuff I'm sooo used to. And I don't see as many nagas on DA as I do on y!Gallery (good GOD. and for heaven's sake, people, draw them like NAGAS. They're based off of snakes, not slugs!). The inflation art terrifies me.

...Yeah. >>

I've drawn my share of girly boys as well, though it's been a while since I've done it. I like my manly men, I'll admit. *L*

And fanart... I mean hell, ya'll KNOW I do fanart, so I'm certainly guilty of that too. XD

*LOL* slug nagas. THAT'S HOT. ;)

Don't forget fanart. It doesn't matter if you can't draw for beans, post artwork of the most currently popular cartoon, anime or videogame and pageviews will pour.

Nagas are popular in DA? I swear, I had no idea. :O_o:
