I don't really browse the photography there, but the drawing/painting scene there seems really strong. One of my favourites being Denis Peterson who is one of the prominent & premier photo/hyper-realists in NYC. Through his favourites you can check quite a community of talented artists.

Searching for him.

Really like him, however I dont see anything not done before by the likes of Chuck Close or Robert Gniewek.

Take a look at this painting by Gniewek.

Yes, that's a painting.

i just love her work!!!.. i wish i was that good.

check her out!.. http://xiaocaca.deviantart.com/ i have so much respect for her...

Both are great, however I dont consider them art. The first one is an illustrator. A formidable one.

The second one. She's talented, but I see too much of Rothko and Bacon on her work. She lacks her own voice. That is problematic specially since she's a painter. For better or worse, painting is death,

BTW, loving the April's fools feature on Deviantart :p

Just a word in case anyone complains at some point. This thread was originated a few years ago, but clearly has value. So please carry on, guys. :)

Ah, just noticed! :pinch:

That's a bit of a simplistic evaluation.

It is always hard to define what is crap and what is not. Someone people might see it as art and some might see it as crap. What do you accept and not accept. The idea is to come up with some kind of tool that will determine what is crap and not. Maybe have a committee that reviews the art and determines if it is art or junk. With a good variety and large amount of people on the committee they should be able to do a good job at determining art and crap. Although this would be tedious. Another option is to have a ranking or rating system. By default the art is a middle rating. If it falls below a certain rating within a certain period of time then remove the art. I have not been on DA in a long time. Does DA allow you to filter by rating? If you only look for art with a certain rating or higher then that should filter out stuff you do not want to see. I think DA is slow and rarely use it due to the speed.

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
