deviantART: Should they really put “art” in the name? Last time I checked, there is hardly any art on dA. Most real artists despise the site, favoring other sites and services to distribute their real art. Why would they put their works up on dA, knowing full well they’re just going to be buried underneath shitty anime fan art? But I’m sure DCQC has made this point a hundred times already, in a hundred different ways.

Today, I’m here to showcase some of the worst not-art I’ve seen on dA. And let me tell you; it’s a lovely bunch of dump. Allow me to introduce you to the gallery of nest123454321. The weird thing is actually how I found him: My friend left a critique for one of his submissions. In fact, quite a few people have given him critiques, which is quite odd, seeing as no amount of constructive criticism is capable of fixing his shit.

First, I need to get something out of my hair: This kid has 225 watchers. I’m not fucking kidding. This kid is also confirmed to have paid money for pageveiws. PAGEVEIWS, FOR FUCKS SAKE. He is seriously that pathetic. And when he isn’t spending money on himself, he is paying for other users premium memberships, which is tantamount to paying people to pretend to be your friends. What nest123454321 really needs, more than the attention he gets from his attention whoring, is to stop wasting his mother’s hard earned cash on stupid intangible Internet bullshit. Put that money towards something useful! Maybe something like… Uhm… Oh! Maybe a fucking life. What’s that, you say? You can’t buy lives? Well then, I guess he’s fucked!

Ah, the wonderful world of bases. In what other form of so-called “art” do so-called “artists” submit their works, and actually hope it will be stolen by dozens of other people? What is perhaps more amazing than the fact people like this exist – without a shred of shame or artistic integrity – is how quickly the concept was accepted on deviantART. There are thousands of users on deviantART who’s galleries consist almost entirely of other user’s bases.

It should come as no surprise that some of the worst “art” on dA is derived from bases, and that most of the worst “artists” on dA are pre-teen girls who actually think that their based art qualifies as “kawaii desu.” Now, before you go accusing me of sexism for picking out “pre-teen girls,” remember what the concept of base art has it’s roots in: Barbie ”fashion dolls,” which are marketed entirely at pre-teen girls. Drawing over bases is a natural progression from dressing up toy dolls. Alternatively, it is also a viable alternative for girls too poor to afford actual toys.

Much like the furfags, weebs, and other undesirables of our world, fat ugly girls also turn to deviantART to escape their miserable lives. Today, we’re going to talk about a very SPECIAL group of camwhores known as “gamer girls.” You wouldn’t think that having a gallery that consists mostly of bad photoshops and amateur modelling would draw much attention, but among the other social rejects that populate dA, gamer girls actually manage to find the attention they so desperately seek.

Their self esteem is so far down the shitter, that just a few pageviews are enough to satisfy them, and some of them even develop full blown GOTIS. Gamer girls believe that the combination of having a nasty fish vagina and a Nintendo Wii actually makes them special. In reality, they have no talent, online or otherwise. They forget that no man IRL will ever touch them.

Get ready to feast your eyes on some true ~*~GaMeR ChIcKs~*~!!!! <3

Pregnant women – by most of their own admissions – are disgusting. With expanded stomachs and acne breakouts, women are [arguably] at their very worst while pregnant, both physically and emotionally. Of course, this doesn’t stop people from fetishizing it, like all other deformations and abnormalities of the human body. However, given the fact that the subject of today’s article happens to be a hipster, perhaps his admission of having a pregnancy fetish is only “ironic?” Perhaps he would much rather be masturbating to hipster girls (Nearly indistinguishable from hipster boys)? Oh, who am I fooling? This is deviantART: “Where art meets masturbation!” And there isn’t a doubt in my mind that today’s subject intends for his work to be masturbated to.

Kazuv - as mentioned earlier - is a hipster kid with a really awesome fetish for underage, pregnant girls. His sickening gallery has, undeservedly, almost a MILLION page views. If you can look past how disgusting his fetish is, you’ll notice his pinups are mediocre at best. Each of his hundreds of portraits display the same thing: A pregnant chick with an overly round belly and hooker tits.

Any work of art that focuses on depression is normally intended to be cathartic for the writer. It’s supposed to be a release from their crippling illness that plagues them each waking minute of their lives until they go into therapy/kill themselves/get over it. The problem is that when you begin to let feelings overcome your work and become the main focus, you start to shun true quality in favour of emotional expression, even if you somehow feel better about venting your “Emotion of the Week.”  Anyone who disagrees with me has clearly never heard of Lizzie-the-temptress (Known as Elizabeth Sidman to her friends psychiatrist).

Our subject for today is an talentless hack who possesses the common disorder known as “Internet Depression”, typically characterised by writing volumes of terrible poetry complaining about their middle class disasters and first world problems, an inability to write with proper spelling, grammar and syntax, crying at random intervals for arbitrary and/or non-existent reasons. Don’t confuse this for actual depression; those who suffer from this particular strain are doing it for attention.
