So DeviantArt has a new really shitty layout. This is all fine and dandy, except that the "popular" images on the front page are now being displayed by number of hits instead of number of favorites, and thus this image by SyberStyk. (And for the record, when she says "muscle chick," hoo boy, is she not kidding.)

The replies are pretty tame to start -- a lot of people confused on how to view the full image, and a couple others just commenting in general, until someone finds it hilarious, which SyberStyk disapproves of. From there they get going with things like "dont be all whiney on dA" and "the 'muscles' just seem to be random lines that were slapped on in a lame attempt. Not trying to sound rude or anything."

AngrySpitefulBitches shows up quite a few times, including in reply to some yahoo commenting in fan-japanese and wondering if all anime fans were "born with giant, hiddeous frog heads..." He/she also agrees with the sentiment that everyone saying "ew!" needs to grow up.

It continues with how people at DA need to start looking at "real art," and how fetish art showing up on the front page is a conspiracy of some sort.

But that's not all, folks! There's WTF and liberal use of the puking emoticon, which really seems to frustrate the artist. She's also told the picture was not necessary, and is given probably unwanted advice from a person in art school.

It finally seems to pan out with such descriptions as a pathetic joke, sick, wrong and sad.

If you're squeamish about overly muscular bodies...

Do Not go into that Gallery! I repeat, Do NOT go into that GALLERY!!!


Body building pictures don't bother me, not my cuppa mind, but DAMN!

Yo, Miss Artiste? Those aren't muscles. That's an inflatable doll that someone filled with giant fucking rocks for whatever reason.

Wait, I just... what?

The proportions are so buggered, I can't even begin to think of anything to say about them. All I can do is stare, dumbstruck.


I wouldn't mind the new layout if it wasn't so damn annoying. Dig the mood function, like that pageviews aren't so prominent now, but there's too bloody much browsing around just to submit art or a new journal entry. And don't get me started on the huge fonts.

Huh. That can't be healthy. I'm talking about the elf, of course. At least it wasn't a smoking fetish pic or something. My nose whimpers at the very thought.

I'm starting to think I'm the only person who's actually happy about the new layout. *blink* Now when someone gives me a DeviantArt link, I can just look at it instead of sitting around twiddling my fingers endlessly waiting for the page to load. o_o

The abundance of pictures on dA of super inflated people is boggling enough. I can't quite wrap my mind around this one.

What I really want to know, though, is if the bodies are giant (aside from the obvious muscle mass) or the heads freakishly small, but that's sort of a "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" question.

While I'm not a fan of the picture by far, nor do I find it "wrong" "sick" or "bad." I fail to see what the big deal is over this.

I knew I shouldn't have clicked "download," and my suspicions were confirmed the moment the pic started loading.

It's just...I'm not that easy to squick, but no.

Somehow I knew deviantART's new layout was going to be wank fodder . . . didn't realise it would happen quite like this, though. o.O

Ho ho, fetish art on the front page is a new and shocking thing? What site have THEY been looking at, and more importantly, where is it so I can go there instead?

You know, I didn't think that picture would be all that bad. I figured Hey, I've seen pics of that fetish before, and I have an iron stomach.

Come on DA people....start looking at some REAL art.

No.

Seriously, fuck you. I seethe at anyone who snubs things as 'not real art'. Who rolled over and died and made YOU the all-defining god of art?

And frankly, if it's pretty, that's the only thing that matters to me.

I love how innocent and generically-elf-ish the wee thumbnail looks. There's a little muscle bulging away merrily at the bottom there, but I was expecting reclining half-naked (judging by the blush) Archery Lass or something.


Am I the only person who can't get deviantArt to load properly, regardless of the layout? Uploading things is a whole adventure of aggravation.
