Ookino makes fantastic works, and i find it sad that she only has 84 pageviews.
So i post her here to hopefully boost her popularity a bit.

That's why they're inspiration. There's always someone to inspire you no matter what level of artist you are. When you get to their level you'll be the inspirer.

[QUOTE=Barnhouse;36875013]i see way too many talented artists who seem to have some kind of compulsion to draw naked women/boobs in all their drawings, and to be honest I hate it, it's really tasteless.[/QUOTE]
It's because it's naturalism and nudity, are you born with clothing? It's like the Adam and Eve concept.

I honestly thought that was a photo for a second. And the fact it was done with ballpoint pens blows my mind across 3 counties.

I can understand that, and I would rather stay as a neutral being than to start an argument.
After witnessing the horror/hilarity that is the DeviantART Appreciation Station this is a most refreshing change of scenery.
Surprised no one mentioned this guy yet

So much god damn fan art.
I know a lot of these people have original characters and stuff, but really, almost every artist mentioned here has depicted characters they didn't come up with. Now really there's nothing wrong with that, but every source I've ever heard from about the professional art world states that too much fan art in a portfolio will show that the artist may be good at rendering, but lacks imagination and merit.
Skilled artists waste their own talent just to be able to gain massive popularity on Deviantart
I feel sickened
