Why I left DeviantArt

Deviation Actions

For 7 years DevArt's been good for feedback, I've met some cool people here, and this is still a great place for resources and references. But it has come to a point where for every piece of decent art there is a bunch of fetish art that looks like it belongs on 4chan or some bizzare subreddit.

I have nothing against sexual content morally, but I don't need to know what an anthropomorphic cow with inflated breasts looks like, or need to see any more bedroom selfies who think they have merit because they contain nudity, or stumble on yet another obscure fetish artist, and I really don't care to look at another manga piece that flirts with paedophilia. I'm tired of seeing drawings of deformed women, and of seeing people using their galleries like pinterest.
I guess DeviantArt finally became actually deviant, heh.

So, like several artists, I'll be moving to ArtStation or Tumblr, or any place where the average art submission is not another god damn pony drawing.
I may lose my audience and go back to square one, but at least I'll never have to see the cameltoe of a Sonic the Hedgehog character again.

So if anyone cares, you can find my art here

markarandjus.tumblr.com/
www.facebook.com/MarkArandjus


And my pin-up & glamour photography here

Thanks to all the people who've paid attention to my work, I've always appreciated it.
Cheers!
