Comics and cartoons board
Art of comics and cartoons.
Yes? This was the stepping stone for many artists back in the 2000's
It had loads of comics, it's were the original Lackadaisy comics were uploaded.
Most of them nuked their accounts once they got big. I will never have a full archive of Dana's old art.

This really kicked off when the admins decided to flood the site with AI slop, it's pratically unusable right now.
i dont, it was a shitshow back then and its a bigger one today.
Fond memories of participating in community contests and reading obscure amateur comics.
This shit rocks, what the hell? When is this from? I'd love to see a kind anon who might have something upload some more of her early art or at least higher resolution versions of these pictures, if they even exist anymore.
industry artists with nuked accounts
I guess while we're on the subject, here's an archive of Andrew Dickman's old dA. I've posted this a few times on here, but last time I did, the thread died right after I posted.
Hopefully some anons find some worth in this; if the last anon from the Doghaus thread is in here, here you go.

What I miss most about the site is the feature where you would sort your posts by views, favorites, etc..
Be careful what you put online. It never goes away, ever!
Imagine my surprise when I discovered the person who made those Cane and Corn comics was also the very same person making Owl House.
This is a Wayback screenshot set to 2011. I have been unable to find the original images from this specific series.
I've only found grainy versions of '8 bit' (500x700 pixels). The only copy of 'comic shop' comes from this old sketchbook video. youtube.com
You're a fucking idiot
I wish I used the site back in the days where people made OC tournaments, they looked really fun.
I was just thinking of those cats.
Anyone else remember a blog post she made after she stopped making those comics calling her fans retarded children for liking them? I think that's been scrubbed.
it is all ai, bad ai from DA model that is shit
Yeah, before the fetish art got huge.
there was always fetish art faggot. now there is no one on there outside some holdout and bots it is a fucking dead
That sounds neat. Do you remember the site and year?
There's an old blogpost where she calls anime generic, that's as controversial as I have.
Twitter being the go-to place for art sharing despite being inherently and objectively dogshit for it is a genuine crime against humanity.
its for good reason because no sane person would want a bunch of cringy assfuck comics that was made on a website that's notorious fof strange fucked up fetish porn on their digital footprint
Looking up for a Venom picture I used to like when I was a kid
Can't remember the name of an artist, only remember he used to have a superb Venom drawing that was really popular back in the day and it was on DA
look up for 'Venom wallpaper'
top results are ai slop with random actresses and anime chicks with symbiote latex suits
All are made by the same account
I don't mind the occasional AI slop, but what's the fucking need of doing the same picture over and over with minimal variations and spamming them?
They finally added a long overdue image set feature earlier this year, but too bad nobody fucking uses it.
Do you miss the design or the website not being invaded by inflation kids, low-quality nudes and AI faggots?
what's the fucking need of doing the same picture over and over with minimal variations and spamming them?
Man, I recall some account which posted bad MS Paint-tier drawings of buff cartoon girls for like 10 years. 10 years of similar looking drawings, with no improvement in skill whatsoever. THAT's some fucking autism. And that person definitely wasn't alone in it.
Eclipse is a strong contender for the worst website redesign in internet history.
I wish I could remember, I do recall seeing it on the wayback machine just before the Owl House came out. I can't find it on blogspot and I don't think it would've been on tumblr.

If any faggot ever asks me why I hate A.I I will point to Deviant art. the site always had bad art on it but a.i has just let the flood gates open for pure shit to flood the entire site. I swear for every good art piece you see you'll see 100 images of the same fucking awful looking static a.i images of Wonder Woman with an inhumanly huge ass or tons of shitty looking a.i cat pics
Why the fuck doesn't this shitty site have a fillter for a.i/
Why the fuck did they even do that anyways? the site was fine before. literally no one and I do mean no one wanted or liked Eclipse.
Why the fuck doesn't this shitty site have a fillter for a.i/
Yeah what gives? Why can't you turn the AI off on DeviantArt? Is it because they're desperate for artificial drivers of traffic to the site?
reminds me of chris chan. spent all the time drawing his sonichu comics and never fucking improved at all.

For all the criticisms against Deviantart, blaming them for AI is stupid.
EVERY website has AI now. Twitter, artstation, Pixiv. Even Anon Babble can't stop it.
It's just part of life now. You have to accept it or get left behind.
Not true, I made some Gmod videos that I deleted and then lost the files for from a hard drive failure, those are sadly gone for life.
Because AI already looks like human art. Trying to flag it would bring up false positives or even real humans who already draw bad.
It's such shit cause you can't even search for any art on it, you have to already know the artists.
Searching for old artwork is functionally impossible now unless you remember the exact username or title.
When uploading an image they give you an option to say if it was made using ai. They don't give you an option when browsing to filter out those images.
all ai images have a water mark, so they donot get refed in to the data sets
You have to accept dogshit and scams
No thank you.
get left behind by ai slop, what
It's just part of life now. You have to accept it or get left behind.
No, I DON'T have to accept it, you street shitting jackanape. Every website peddling grifts out of short-sighted greed is not an excuse to make shit WORSE. I didn't have to accept NFTs either and that shit died off on its own.

Can't you shills get some new material, Jesus Christ.
I didn't have to accept NFTs either and that shit died off on its own.
Give me one good reason why people will stop generating images?
no one cares anymore about AI, we have it was ok, the only people that like are people that think it will go god mode fix everything, indias that dont understand how anything so they think it is magic, and kids that can ask it complete home work for them.
Not enough bread and cutting down trees
You could tie a timeline of the explosion of overly specific shit like that to DeviantArt
no one cares anymore about AI,
LOL.
People are making thousands of dollars from typing prompts and pumping out hundreds of images each day. It's never going anyway.
wow an india ai slop on social media no less. do want me to like the ai cat videos or what other slop are you going to point from social media.
>did you know scams make money
What more proof do you need it's not a scam?
AI art is already sold in stores. You're just jealous people's tastes has expanded.
Why are you showing a shithole store like that? My local mall has a place that exclusively sells bootleg anime figures and plushies and has been there for years. Does it suddenly mean people love knockoffs? Probably not.
Does it suddenly mean people love knockoffs?
Multi-million dollar brands seem to think so.
Coca-Cola, Mcdonalds, Toys R Us have all used AI in their marketing.
Get use to it and stop crying.
Multi-million dollar brands using AI does not validate it. They aren't using it because of any inherent quality that it has, beyond being incredibly cheap to put out. Please make an actual point.
There's a furry artist called Arania.
Hasn't improved in 20 years, and somehow she stills gets a metric fuckton of commissions.
>shit stores sell shit,
fuck sake they used to use clip art and photoshop bashing, so AI is the new clip art and cheap bash together crap, that is your win. again it has been 4 years of you AI fags smugly going around saying the same shit over and over. we get it you like ai and are too lazy to learn any skill. that why everything you fags do is a scam or boasting about how ai is the future. every fucking day we have to see what like 1000s for ai crap, ai is the future etc. no one fucking cares but indians and boomers that think computer are magic. that why you have act like someone is stop you from generating slop, again no one give a fuck what you want to do, all it take to get you ai fags mads is call it slop and you guy going crazy.
unironic aijeeting
The subcontinent was a mistake
Do we have a jeet version of that one china copypasta?
Now that the dust has finally settled, what could have prevented The Decline and Fall of Deviantart? Was there a future where it could've been a respected art site like the western equivalent of Pixiv or was it always doomed to be the dumping grounds for fetishists, autistic children, and AI sloppers?
AI absolutely delivers better quality than human artists while being both faster & cheaper at it.
That's why I think you guys are insane to suggest that "people will stop making AI images one day". No one is going to stop creating content and getting paid easy money for it thanks to prompts.
This is why I still stick with DA for finding commission artists, at least it's organized
fucking full of shit, you have never fucking used any ai or made money with it. I fuck have use it in many projects. you fucking lazy assholes go around pretending that you are using ai when you are fucking just making shit up.
I fuck have use it in many projects. you fucking lazy assholes go around pretending that you are using ai when you are fucking just making shit up.
If you used it then you would understand companies have become more productive with it and are finding less reasons to hire or use human based talent anymore.
Just look at the new Darth Vader mod in Fortnite for example. James Earl Jones is dead but both Disney & Epic didn't need to search for another human voice actor to replace him. They got AI to perfectly emulate it instead.
You can bitch all you want but you can't stop progress. Adapt or get out.
I know you trying to larp, but you have no idea what you are talking about outsize some crap you read online. you trying to rp some shit about ai vs artists or something. that shit is old everyone has moved on but a few fags that keep pretending that some evil group artists are trying to stop them. it is fucking sad, you talk about what you think ai is doing, but all you can talk about is other people use of it. I know what ai can and can't do, I am not stopping progress but I can use the tools not make up stories about it. people use ai all the time no one fucking cares. what this come done to is you can't use it, that why you keep talking about the future, well faggot it is here, it is being use, where is your shit at ? that right you are too stupid to use any tools be it a pencil or ai.
It was the biggest art site back in the day before it became the dumping ground for AIslop it it currently.
posting my unhinged fetish edits on the site while it all burns around me
hat why you keep talking about the future, well faggot it is here, it is being use, where is your shit at ?
I use AI everyday but most of it is for private consumption. But once in a while I might share more stuff online.
As a non artist using AI to generate art, you're probably amazed by the portraits it can generate. But as an artist, I can't make it do forshortening with dynamic angle shots. I am not impressed. I even tried uploading a quick sketch of how I want the shot to look like then asked it to generate my prompt using these perspectives. It can't. I just use it to generate textures or city scapes for me I can wrap or place in the background. Waste of time.
basic bing bitch, fucking hell you made my point you have no fucking skills at anything. even basic ai is too hard for you holy fuck
That's because you're not using all the tools.
You can export depth maps from Blender or even turn on controlnet. There's nothing it can't do.
GOD DAMN IT THIS WAS A NOSTALGIA THREAD YOU ARE RUINING THE VIBE RAJEET GO TO YOUR CONTAINMENT THREAD
Nooooo! You can't debunk luddite arguments because. You just can't ok!
wut has this thread become
Well when you consider that most artists post on twitter now where the illegal content on their beats anything Deviantart ever put out, the reality is that it was doomed to fail simply because of the general consolidation of the internet to just 4 main websites, you know the ones Im sure.
Deviantart was meant for creators but creators also want normies to look at their shit, so they go to the normie websites. I actually liked using DA up until I got involved with a project that had a discord group so my art got feedback in real time so I just posted on there less and less(now I just do deliveries from time to time on here since I left that group) but there were some features I liked. Like when they added the "More Like This" section on drawings so that you were already linked with similar work or work that was trending at the time, I found a lot of more artists that I liked out of that. And as much as people didnt like the redesign I thought it worked well because on a personal level, you wanted something that served a s a portfolio for your work, and the template that DA has now serves that purpose well, even if does remove the soul.
But again normies werent there, less opportunities to make number go up. And of course the AI floodgates but again, the big websites have that fucking problem too.
It can't be that ba-
immediately get a feral transformation comic with a hog fucking a dog
Even Anon Babble can't stop it.
Sure they can, just delete it on sight. We've entertained that garbage enough.
Using the wayback machine on this site makes me sad because of how many pics I can only see the thumbnail of but can't actually track down.
Sure they can, just delete it on sight.
Again how can you tell? There are no perfect AI detectors. And just deleting any image with flaws would remove most Human artists from Anon Babble.
how you fucking have no idea how ai work,
"AI watermarking is a technique that embeds unique, hidden signals into AI-generated content, like images or text, to identify its source and authenticity." btw faggot they have you person info in the water marks
Who says every AI image has a watermark doofus? People can generate images using their own computer.
Everyone on this threads does just like me
Now the site is fullfilled with ai degenerated slop, vip comission typa trash and overcrowed with repetitive dobson-tier fetish content of childrens cartoon characters
I remember that some of those retards used to report my censored swaysway smut i used to post on DA until i left this fucking shit of a website
Hell,even a spaniard retard with a nasal accent made a whole 17-minutes video essay of yapping, autistically babbling and "exposing" all the ragebait porn i made back in the day kek
youtu.be
An interesting image of what dA has become: you know all those average dime a dozen aging furry autists like caseydecker and shit?
They love AI slop and they might as well be one of its bigger proponents on the site. Their favorites are usually neck and neck with regular art and AI-generated Loona porn or whatever. It's honestly pretty fascinating to watch when the general sentiment among furry artists is total ai death
Oh man, if any of you have more classic dana terrace shit I'd be all over it. I don't even like owl house but seeing her vintage work is something else
you made the models, no you just fed data in to a premade model faggot you are fucked, hope all the ai cp that you gen don't get you in jail
no you just fed data in to a premade model faggot you are fucked,
More luddite lies. It's entirely possible to train your own AI model using your own art.
Depends on how vintage you want. Her DA, and pre-DA, stuff is almost non existent. Wayback did a good job at keeping her Tumblr and Blogspot archived, but by then her art was sanitized.

Anon, FurAffinity out of all places in the damn internet is the one who decided to tell all the AIbros to stay the fuck away from the site.
A website where you can see multicolored horses getting railed by roided minotaurs and werewolves decided to ban AI pictures. Just let that sink in.
I'll let that sinkdog in
Because furries are on a whole other level when it comes to gatekeeping their mental illness.
But give it 5 years and they will probably crack.
Newgrounds hard banned them as well, and surprise surprise, there's almost zero AI slop flooding the place. Turns out all you need is some actual goddamn moderation and a range ban on India and the problem goes away immediately.
the numbers agree
I feel like Dana would’ve been more cooler to me if she didn’t have a glitch show or a Disney show, just being a cool webcomic creator.
It’s not fair isn’t it?
There's an old blogpost where she calls anime generic, t
That’s weird considering how much she stole from anime for her cartoon.
I wonder why the ai faggots are out today....
Matt braly did so too.
Kinda wish she was cooler and not a shitty unoriginal millennial.
Man what a crappy world we live in
Newgrounds is also a dead ass website. That's not the flex you want.
Anyone here have better quality versions of these pics? Artist recently nuked their stuff and maybe someone here managed to save them. I was only able to download from Google. This thread seems like a good place to ask.
Another Dana pic that's quintessential Deviantart.
Other art I am looking for in better quality.
Most of these websites are dead, but at least Newgrounds isn't fucking unusable.
Who’s the 3rd one on the bottom row?
Better dead than full of slop
Coca-Cola, Mcdonalds, Toys R Us have all used AI in their marketing.
Yeah, and they all fucking failed. Every single one has had massive pushback against their ads, and McDonalds had to retract their AI services because it wasn't working. We even have literal scientific studies showing that people are LESS likely to buy products after seeing an AI ad. They objectively do not work.

Yeah, and they all fucking failed.
Lol.
Yall are like fighting electricity. You say it "fails" but then 10 more companies show up doing the exact same thing. It's a battle you just can't win.
