    exactly the same, all the way down to the condom.

    Which is strange how it stays in there even if you're not a virgin. Its like it hides or something

    Just in case you ever need to have sex with a twelve year old.

    (Oh god I'm a horrible person.)

    this is the part where we treat flay like he's a leper.

    Or whatever the modern day equivalent of a disgusting, untouchable creature is.

    I just blanked and read it as as "12 year old" for about 10 seconds, trying to figure out what else you could possibly mean

    Regarding Deviant Art -- Hits is one thing but does DA make you money? Has anyone got actual work from it other than $20 manga-portrait commissions?

    a daily deviation is something which is given out daily at deviantart
    it pulls attention to work that deserves recognition among the heaps and heaps and heaps of work that doesn't at DA
    not to say that people who don't get them aren't good, it's just typically, if your work is really unique, or really well crafted, someone finds it, suggests it for a DA, and they usually get one :)
    It's also a good way to find great artists on DA
    but it's not based on page hits
    I've seen people with under 1k hits get DD's
    it's for people who deserve them.

    Iruka 100% deserves any and all that she gets, she's an exceptional artist with a style that is instantly recognizable as her own.

    I think he was saying the other way round, that he was surprised he had 16k hits and Iruka hadn't, when she has had dailydevs and all.

    but I wasn't reading that closely so I dunno.

    No. He was saying that he was surprised that she only had 30k hits versus his 16k hits, since she had 2 DDs and he had zero. At least that was my understanding.

    yeah that's still sort of a shitty thing to say though

    because it's not based on hits, it's based on the quality of the work
    it amazes me that anyone would be surprised that she's gotten DDs
    she's a really good artist, and it just seems like an insulting thing to say...like they couldn't have possibly given them to her based on her talent, it's clearly done on how many people have visited your page.

    I really think you're still reading that backwards. He wasn't surprised about the DDs, he was surprised about her low hit count. BECAUSE she's a really good artist.

    iruka has over 30k hits.
    so that can't be what he meant.

    maybe it was, i dunno, it just smelled fishy to me.
    like some sort of jab at her
    so i'll apologize to him right now if it wasn't.

    I am pretty sure it was. I think you need more context. The discussion was about sheer quantity of hits in general, Wakkawa was mentioned as having over half a million. I wasn't a part of it but I think I read most of it.

    also it's hard to gauge it based on pageviews
    because i have 78,000 pageviews
    but 333,405 views to my actual artwork...so way more people just look at my stuff, but don't continue on to look at my whole gallery
    kind of depressing really
    that many people deemed me not good enough to keep looking
    :(

    probably.

    And I'll say thanks to you, but in a different way. :x Just messin' with ya, though. I am quite stubborn.

    As for pageviews, they don't really matter at all in terms to the quality of the artist on deviant. They just matter in relevance to the popularity of the type of art an artist is posting, and how much they whore themselves out for fanart.

    I've found some of the strongest artists can have as little as 25,000 pageviews just because their art isn't anime or fanart. Woah shit.

    Oh, and it also matters how long you've been there. I joined over four years ago. (almost five, I think, now) And Iruka's been a deviant for three years. So she has almost double my views and a year less to do it. And I was a shitty artist for like, at least three of those four years (as of my current standards), so that makes sense to me.

    So, in that sense it's corrupt. But you have to remember that Deviantart's major participating demographic is from late tweens to late teens (12-17ish), so they're generally going to hold art that is more bubbly, appealing, and similar to their saturday morning cartoons in higher regard than something more technical, deliberate, and well done.
