Alright, well, something recently struck my attention, and I really just have to go out and say it. I know full well a few months ago I went on a little rant about how artists here on deviantart must respect other artists' work and appreciate the time and effort they put into their drawing, etc etc. HOWEVER, a big issue came up that I feel must be addressed.
I'm going to sound like a total hypocrite when I say this, but it needs to be said.
I DO NOT SUPPORT ARTISTS DRAWING PORN OR ANY OTHER TYPES OF VILE/DEGRADING WORKS OF "ART."
There. I said it.
There are a lot of good artists out there, and it just pisses me off to no end that they use ther god-given talents to draw impossibly figured sex idols for other people's (and their own) pleasures. Furries, inflation pieces, SOME FORMS of nude photography (note I did not say ALL) are insulting to the human figure, and I personally find offensive.
Basically, pornography/furries/etc. just say "Hey, chicks! We're only interested in your body, but of course since we can't have sex with impossibly hot habes in real life, I'm just going to draw my sexual fantasies and wish all you gals out there can be JUST AS SEXY AS THIS."
PISSES ME OFF.
I support TASTEFUL ART. I know not all nude drawings are bad, some are actually quite good and I personaly enjoy. It's when artists take their skill and draw people/furries/whatever in provocative and vulgar ways that are clearly meant for severely obese middle-aged men to masturbate to. And I find it just as insulting people are so ungodly popular when all they do is draw impossibly perfect and sexy naked girls.
There is a fine line between "art" and "pornography" and sadly, deviantart is just full of more and more pornography and other graphic works. Maybe I'm just easily offended. But I hope to God I'm not the only one out there who is infuriated more and more people nowadays are drawing degrading images.
There was one particular artist, whom I shall not name, I enjoyed looking at their art because he/she was very good at drawing/painting/etc. I was horrified to see more and more of their work become more revolved around skantily-clad girls and lesbonic sex (I don't have anything against gays, btw) AND I knew full well the only reason this artist did so was to get more pageviews.
Is being popular really so important that you lower your standards and draw horribly disfigured and plastic representations of women? I find this insulting. And I know girls do this just as often as boys. I am somewhat ashamed that the world has become so shallow that a drawing of a naked girl (no matter how badly drawn) is considered a "masterpiece."
People, PLEASE! Let's remember what art is really about! Preserve the integrity of artists everywhere!
So there's my two-cents thought.
Oh, a little video to celebrate my +2 years on deviantart! [link]
