  You introduce a post as “Deviant Art user”…personally I would find that very degrading. Could you find a way to say that they’re artists who happen to use Deviant Art? Additionally, anyone who uses DA I would suggest to find their own site rather than piggybacking off ridiculous (and slow, cumbersome, and pathetically full of anime trash) free site. Anyway - I wouldn’t want to be defined by the site on which I host my pictures. This guy made a TOTALLY RAD R2D2 sculpture and you’re advertising Deviant Art in the post? Lame. If the posts were hosted on Flickr? Also lame. I’m not saying it’s your fault at all, thought - it’s also the users’ faults. If you’re an artist, you NEED your own host.

  And by “thought” I mean “though”, of course. The whole point being that an artist should neither host his pictures on a free site that demands branding, nor should a blog refer to the artist by the hosts’ branding.

  Wow… somebody’s got a serious issue with Deviant Art.

  I would imagine the post introduces the artist as such because all they have is that person’s *Deviant Art* nickname? So is that really worthy of a two comment rant?

  i don’t care what sites he posts it on

  the important point here is that the build is “R woo D woo”, not to mention, v.v.v woo
