Description
It's finally done. Today August 7th marks DeviantART's 18th anniversary. Finally got to make another drawing in honor of the occasion, for those of you have been around you'd remember that I've done a dA anniversary drawing three other times in the past. Although last year unfortunately I broke the streak.Also I know everyone was doing these colored drawings that dA themselves offered everyone to partake in, but I don't know I like to be a little bit more creative than that. Plus coloring art that isn't mine always feels wrong for some reason.
It's been a fun ride DeviantART, despite how much crap you guys get. It's still in many ways a one of a kind place to meet artists both veterans and novices alike.
Anyways hope you all enjoy and stay awesome!
Here's to many more years of fun and creativity!

Though I think templates acting as a limitation helps the artists become more creative and shows how different users think with their works when comparing all the submissions, it would be cool if one year they did have more of a concept for art than a template.
And on DA as a whole, yeah there are a large majority of users who end up making it look bad but that's with any social media platform (Instagram is known for narcissism, Youtube for pandering a-holes, DA for fandom and fetish art, Tumblr for "libtards," ect), in the end there are people there who aren't really that.

I'm all for the fact dA does anything at all that promotes creativity in the community, I guess I would like to see maybe one of these years they do a creative prompt instead, I guess like what they did back in April Fools of 2017 where everyone just had to draw that weird pear meme thing. I dunno I like that over the pre-rendered art that we have to color.
It's all goof though, despite how much we all make fun of deviantART it really is all in the spirit of creating art, since ya know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, so even though there are weird subgenres on the site the fact that there's always a place for people who are into that kind of stuff is kind of a great thing in of itself.

This is pure madness. And I love it.
And I agree, I only do the "color the thing" page every year so I can get me a badge.
