Deviant Art - do you have one?

Sqee · 01-03-2007, 09:56 PM

As an aspiring photographer i've joined a community of other "artists" and i was wondering how many of you are involved with it...

Below is a PM i sent to Calthine asking for her oppinion on this - read it...

This is my DA - and thats what i would be linking.

Everything on the page you linked seems fine to me. I don't see anything I'd call porn.

I think that if you posted it with a warning just like you wrote to me - that there are artistic nudes but you must register to view anything considered "mature", and what the site is about, etc - you'd be fine.

However, be aware that if there's a large community outcry because of the site content I will go with majority opinion and remove the link(s).

Feel free to post this PM publicly as proof of Administrative Permission, or let me know when you post and I'll edit permission in.

What i want to know is if any one else is on here... and if so, Post your DA - so we can all see your talents!

I went poking around the site, and I've yet to see anything objectionable. I did hit a couple "registration required" pages.

If anyone in this community feels this site is inappropriate to link here for any reason, please PM me.

I have a few friends who are on DA. I'd be on there too, if I thought any of my work was worth being on there.

There are allot of hardcore people on there too... but ya, there is a definate amerture feel to allot of the work done on there.

Worst thing that happens, people give you honest feedback and help you get better.

I love DA!! I have artwork up on there, but atm don't feel real comfy posting it, since it's under my real name... but it's a great resource for aquiring unique artwork. I have a bunch of prints I've ordered off there - quality is really pretty good, prices not bad.
Good stuff! :D

Warning: There are tasteful, artistic nudes in the following link. If this bothers you, your boss, or your parents, do not click. Calthine

If any of you knew Blackburrow.Arctura or know her new incarnation Venekor.Skree, this is her page. I'm linking it freely only because she once linked to it from NGD.

This isn't a dead endorsement meant for friend's or fuck's sake... her work truly is superb. Apparently she likes naked women as much as I do.

Calthine · 01-05-2007, 04:14 AM

I choose to consider DA Artist links posted here as showcases, not advertisement, unless proven otherwise

Due to recent sensitivities I will be hand checking all links, but I will not remove any links that require registration to view.

I sincerely doubt there will be a problem.
