...they got to be. They are giving Daily Deviations to just about anything. I've been following the deviations for the past two weeks and although some are good, all the traditional mediums have been awful. What type of drugs are the adminstration on: Acid, Pcp, Shrooms, CRACK!!!!!!??

WHAT TYPE OF DRUGS ARE THEY ON

OCULAR LUBRICANT

So what's everyone having for lunch today?
Azza9's avatar
They are probably hammering the Jefferies a little too hard.
RouletteCosplay's avatar
I agree... The other day I saw a DD that was a screen capture of someone's page -__-
SavageFrog's avatar
[link] you mean this right? It's actually a type of script (there's gallery specifically for that)
RouletteCosplay's avatar
Not just that one, others too that aren't that great. I saw a selfie in the DD section once aswell. I don't think it takes a genius to realise just about anything can get a DD these days...
SavageFrog's avatar
I'm not too wild about selfies but typically I find it a bit easier to try suggesting something instead.
Pigwasher's avatar
For once, you come up with a good complaint. I applaud.
You can thank that "it's not a reward it's just a feature" puke for the low quality.
Apricots-from-Nara's avatar
I drew this in literally seven minutes.



And it's better then several of your paintings. The face, while inhuman, is actually correct.
VoidSauce's avatar
T_T You're good.
Apricots-from-Nara's avatar
I'm planning on more detail later.
VoidSauce's avatar
Sweet... it's a cool drawing.
illastrat's avatar
Lol...looks like shit
Apricots-from-Nara's avatar
Better then you. You can't even draw eyes or human faces well.
SROnivera's avatar
Only because it's a sketch, you know, sketches usually look rough and messy when it's just the first part of making a complete drawing/painting/digital piece.
Apricots-from-Nara's avatar
Have you seen the hands he paints?
Apricots-from-Nara's avatar
they are mutated feet.
theGman0's avatar
Oh god, you're right.
Apricots-from-Nara's avatar
Pretty fucking wretched eh?

It's not about what looks the best. They choose Daily Deviations based on things other than how good it looks.

Oh, so drugs are the special feature of the week?



I'm done.

Someone has first hand experience with LSD.
NOKAPIplz's avatar
Nah, all you need to do is look up drugs, pills and trippy stuff.
SavageFrog's avatar
or try the psychedelic category in traditional art
SavageFrog's avatar
P.S. Very lovely feature (that octopus is gorgeous)
Sauti-Alamisi's avatar
CelesteTsumikiWorks's avatar
All of these look amazing :la: especially the needle at the bottom!
NOKAPIplz's avatar
Hell yeah they're amazing!
HerbalDrink's avatar
I once saw a daily deviation that was literally just a picture of a girl in the shower.

What I'm more interested in is what the photographer's face looked like when she punched his lights out for taking that picture, then again for uploading it to the internet.
UniversalKiwi's avatar
If anything, the admins are overworked and apathetic.
Kitsuraki's avatar
Quick! Whine on the complaints forum about hyped-up art features!

Everyone knows that is the secret to success.
Smoppet's avatar
Stop looking at DDs then.
Cenaris's avatar
Is the Administration of DA on drugs?
They have to be to allow you on here.
Or Bronies.
Or Weaboos
Or You
GoGo-T-W's avatar
This seems like something of your own heart,why don't you like it?
illastrat's avatar
i don't like it because i could do it
Just-a-Witness's avatar
well is a pretty masterful portrait.stop bitchin
Xadrea's avatar
Oh come on. I could paint a lot of the master's work, that doesn't make me appreciate it any less.
GoGo-T-W's avatar
I'd think you'd want to support something you're similar to.
It's kind of interesting to learn that you don't think you're worthy of a DD.
illastrat's avatar
the technique is trite. If I did that same painting people would call it shit. DA is a popularity contest. It would be nice to get a DD but I know that will never happen.
GoGo-T-W's avatar
I wouldn't call it trite, based on the definition I just found from google because I know the word, but only from context and sometimes you don't always know exactly what it means so I thought it might be useful to find it out before judging it based on "trite".
If you used the current style you have and painted it with correct/attractive proportions at least, people might think better of your work and someone might even want to suggest it.
Once again, I like some of your mark-making, but the marks all together don't always make something nice.

Or you could even push it further into abstraction.
GrimCW's avatar
[link]

given whats beyond that link and has been so for awhile untouched apparently... yes.. by far yes....
Xadrea's avatar
That person has no DDs so what are you talking about?
GrimCW's avatar
DA admins being on drugs
Xadrea's avatar
What would posses you to think that person is an administrator?
Blackrosekane89's avatar
Pssh never mind, I misread what you said lol. I thought you were asking why he thought this person was on drugs. No idea why he think it's an administrator.
Xadrea's avatar
That's ok. I'm actually kind of shocked that this kind of misinformation is floating around dA. :no:
Blackrosekane89's avatar
I'm guessing the joke is about the... unique direction of her work. He thinks the work is soo weird the person who made it must be on drugs.

I think that's what he's getting.... not sure.
Xadrea's avatar
XD Possibly. 70% of the people who post in the forums can't type out what they're really trying to say in an easily understood way anyhow :shrug:
ROKAGE's avatar
:icongarycolemanplz::iconsaysplz: Watcha talking about Willis?
DawnsBreak's avatar
:iconbrucewillisplz: :iconsaysplz: I didn't say anything.
Xadrea's avatar
I'm finding it interesting that someone who claims to now be sober is poking fun at drug abuse. On top of that, for as long as you've been around, I would have imagined you would know how the Daily Deviation system works...your complaint is ridiculous.
Blackrosekane89's avatar
His threads aren't even entertaining anymore :( lol. They're kinda stale now. I noticed the activity on his threads have gone way down too
Xadrea's avatar
The activity's gone down because unlike he says, he's not a real troll, just a wannabe with entirely too much free time :no:
Oh-Cherie-Cherie's avatar
ok you say crack like it's the worst thing out there.
like, do you even know anything about drugs?

=-=
poor quality thread, no wonder you don't get DDs.
GalacticGoat's avatar
Also one day I want to get a DD just to prove its meaningless because my art is kinda poopy. Really DDs are just basically hyped up feature journals, they aren't actually a representation of the best art on the site.
xRooke's avatar
Too bad for you and your awful art.
CelesteTsumikiWorks's avatar
Well to be honest those DD's are better than your paintings.
spoems's avatar
Drug use could actually enhance a person's artistic appreciation. So the premise of your question is potentially invalid.
Wyntry's avatar
I have totally been on facebook too long. I totally wanted to hit the like button on what you said. so... um.
:dalove:
Lol.
neurotype-on-discord's avatar
Did you see the series of self portraits that guy did on all the drugs? :eager:
Yes. The guardian showed them, and the artist was annoyed, because he had so many cool non-drug related portraits, which had no publicity.
neurotype-on-discord's avatar
Hah, I'm surprised he was surprised.
spoems's avatar
I couldn't find them.  Links?
GoGo-T-W's avatar
10 mg of adderall probably isn't enough to get a high off of unless you have a super-low tolerance to drugs.
neurotype-on-discord's avatar
I wouldn't know. :o maybe he snorted it.
GoGo-T-W's avatar
I don't think so, there's one later that says he snorted ritalin, which is usually taken by mouth.
At the top it says he only takes stuff that is given to him, so maybe he would have taken more if more was given to him.

You can definitely tell which ones he was totally knocked out on, though. Maybe he does have a low tolerance, a few of those are drugs from the hospital.
But I think the marijuana ones are my favorite.

Mercury-Crowe's avatar
*ssssssh* It's shrooms. LOOK AT ALL THE COLORS! OMG!

DDs have been getting more crappy as time goes on :(

I don't think it's the people running the site, though, I think its the people using it.
Noxxi-a's avatar
I doubt making a complaint thread about your obvious jealousy and anger at not getting a DD or having someone suggest you for one is going to make the volunteer's who have control over the DD's pick you...
I think you need to worry more about improving your skill level than bashing other people who took a chance and actually gave you words of wisdom. >.>
