I agree with this. I hate that fan art gets more popularity with pageviews, kiribans, favorites, watchers, and comments. But I think original art needs to be more popular.

I can relate to this. I have two small folders consisting mostly of original art...and these got WAAAAAY fewer favorites, fewer views, and only a handful of comments as compared to my fanart.

Original works can be great too! People just need to take their time and look at them.

This is true, because I prefer original art  than fan art that constantly get favorites, comments, and page views. It gets pretty boring just seeing fan art of Dragon Ball or any other franchise when artist who make their own stories, characters, and artstyles are ignored.

Yeah I totally agree with this stamp. Before, I used to draw only fanart. I drew a tiny bit of original work but mostly fanart. They would get more favs and comments than my original works which really sucks because it seems that no one really cares about my original works.

And this stamp is so true.

krebskolonie [2016-02-07 18:57:08 +0000 UTC]

So true. Nobody seems to give a shit about original art in this site.
I drew HTF fanart once and it received more favs and comments than my entire gallery put together... and it sucked. I mean, I don't care about 'fame' and all that crap, but it kinda pisses me off when everyone pays attention to fan-art and doesn't give two shits about those who actually have originality.

It mostly boils down to what grabs people's attention the most. If someone sees good fanart of something they're obsessed with, they'll give it instant attention. If the same person finds original art that is equally as good, they may not notice it because it's not from that one show, movie, or game that they are greatly attached to. This is bad news for someone who isn't into making fanart. You'll have to work extra hard to find ways to draw people's attention to your gallery.

This truly speaks from my heart.
I´m so tired of seeing always the same AoT(I like AoT but I refuse drawing fanart of it)-Sailor Moon-Naruto-MLP-whatever fanart at the front page,I don´t care if it´s good or not,it´s just boring to look at it.I stopped counting all the galleries with lots of crappily drawn fanart of flavour-of the-month anime which gets thousands of pageviews and in contrast a lot of very talented original artists are ignored.It drives me mad,really.
I admit I also did alittle fanart of a quite unpopular manga in the past but it never made me so happy than drawing my own characters.But it really drives me mad beng always beaten by some absolutely untalented fanartists only because they draw characters from a popular manga/anime/show.
DeviantArt should be renamed in DeviantFanArt,just my opinion.

Oc art: 2 or 3 comments
Sonic, mlp crossover fanart: 50 comments

That kind of stuff kind of pisses me off.. random person: Oh look fanart! *comment* orginal art? *leaves*
Me: why? -___-"
It kind of hurts. Actually.

I have people who fave almost everything I do but only say 'Nice - I like the (FAN ART) sketches here.' even when they're hidden in a bunch of other drawings. Quite irritating. Even when you point it out, they keep doing it.

I-Have-Moved [2013-04-17 19:52:42 +0000 UTC]

I agree...it's hard to get your original stuff noticed sometimes, which is sad because it feels like people favorite/comment on fan stuff just for the character or story, and not the actual art

I agree so much...I rarely draw fanart, let alone post it...but whenever I do post it, I get tons of faves and comments, even if it's shitty!
And then if one of my original works looks really good, I'll only get a few faves...it's like, what the hell? Sometimes I feel I should just keep my original art off of Deviantart because it seems pointless, know what I mean? The only thing that seems to get me watchers is fan art...argh.

Nice stamp. Love it.

MischievousPooka [2012-09-07 02:45:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, fanart does get attentions easily on here. I have done some fanart since I sometime randomly draw stuff, but in my gallery, most of my original stuff gets more attention then my fanart. So I am glad that people like my originals more than my fanart.

I love Fan Art especially when it's crossovers, they're so much fun and it's really great to see characters in other peoples styles, BUT my Beetle-Cord picture (Discord from MLP and Beetlejuice) picture I think turned out nice, it's got like 80 favs. Though, my Zombie Dragon picture took a lot longer, more effort, a great loss of sanity, 200 layers in photoshop and only has 24 favs...

cryskris [2012-07-09 21:05:47 +0000 UTC]

I would rather see Naruto or Twilight on the front page than more MLP: FiM. I don't mind fan art and yes, I adore original arts because you can find so much inspiration and beauty in something that your mind has never considered before whilst fan art doesn't always provide that same "magic". However, no. I don't get jealous for not being noticed (my main account is *seramity ) because I draw for me and friends. That's it. Too many people see deviantART as a popularity sight like Facebook, Tumblr or Twitter and it really makes me frown.

When I first arrived to dA, I drew fanart all the time (now regretting that) I still do sometimes just for the heck of it and to get better. And just recently I decided I should leave it for a while and draw more original art and created my own OCs. Well, I spend four hours on a picture of my first lineless ever, and it gets one comment. Compared to the rest, which gets 8. It kinda sucks, especially when you mainly drew pokemon characters, so when you draw a human character (that may not be human at all) some people don't wanna look at it because the moment they see its human its "boring". Its getting really annoying. Dx Its like everyone notices the fan artist, but when the fan artist wants to get original, they're suddenly ignored.

Thanks so much for this, I used to draw a lot of fan art (it was pretty bad) but then I stopped posting for a while to try and get better. I recently posted some original art, which I think is lot better quality then the old stuff I posted, but I've hardly gotten any feedback, kinda sucks :/

Thank you, so much for this.
I'm using it on my page as I type.
You see, I draw a lot of fanart, but I'm starting to bring my creations out a bit..
The thing I notice that gets me annoyed is the fact that all my fanart gets more compliments and likes than any of my original work. >>
Wtf? It pisses me off knowing that they decided to watch me, but only for fanart. My theory is if you watch someone it means that you should also care about what else they draw, especially if it's their own work!
God, they just don't understand how hard us artists try and get nothing.
