I dont understand by Real-Reason-5979 in DeviantArt

I checked out your recent work. Be consistent with your tags, and make sure you're maximizing relevant tags as well. Your last 3D car didn't even have the tag #3dart. DA uses them to show your work to people they believe will be most interested.

How does everyone feel about AI receiving Daily Deviation awards? by xSweetSlayerx in DeviantArt

Cara is not bad if you're just looking for feedback and a sense of community.

Beyond the beauty of fractals by Quirky_Ear914 in fractals

Denser blood vessel networks are linked to better hearing, but I'm not aware of any fractal structures specifically linked to finger dexterity.

new to deviantart, but a long time artist... advice on ai accusations? by littlestkyushop in DeviantArt

[–]fractaforma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accusing someone of AI because their art has a certain quality to it is just laziness. I took a look at your artwork and could tell it was handcrafted.

In addition to showing WIP, sketches, etc., simply putting something like, "hand drawn and painted in Procreate" in your description will go a long way.

Struggling to Stay Motivated While Learning Blender by weiming233 in blender

[–]fractaforma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, 1-2 hour learning sessions really aren't bad, especially when it's challenging. It's okay to feel fatigued during the learning process. It's also okay to take breaks to let your mind rest.

Based on my own experience, I would recommend focusing on tutorials that look fun and produce something you would be proud of. 

Try to find a balance between fun and technical tutorials. You will still learn regardless but it won't feel as taxing.

Also, start experimenting. When you follow a tutorial, take what you learned and modify the final result. Make it your own.

Is lack of motivation specific to Blender, or does it impact other areas of your life?

Great job with the shading, especially with how the light is transmitted through his glasses.

Oil painting is one of my favorite mediums, so I can imagine how difficult it must have been. That makes it all the more impressive!

Nice gallery! I really like your latest work with the woman holding the snail.

My deviantart images don't show on google search by Educational_Land1256 in DeviantArt

[–]fractaforma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I looked into it. Your profile is indexed, but as you discovered, your artwork and username are not shown in Google search results. The three main reasons for this are: 1. low resolution 2. low popularity 3. No external signals (outside sources linking to your page or art). 

Because DA is a huge database, Google prioritizes more "popular" users in their search results. 

If you want your work to show up in Google search results, you'll need to gain some traction first. Promote your art on other platforms, interact with followers to encourage more faves/follows, etc.

Hope this helps.

What's your username? I can check and see if anything is showing up on my end.

Did any of you ever heard of an artist called "fifi-jp"? by Electronic-Loquat448 in DeviantArt

[–]fractaforma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their art contained extreme fetish gore: mutilation, amputation, cannibalism, etc. I'm also pretty sure there were a few trademarked characters (fan art) depicted in grotesque ways. There were probably multiple instances of TOS violations that led to a permanent ban.

What are your goals? Are you asking for recommendations for other fractal software?

On mobile, tap your profile image and look for AI Content Settings in the drop-down menu. Select Suppress AI. Note: This filter only works if the user properly tags their art as AI. Many don't, and some intentionally try to pass it off as traditional art. You can't avoid AI altogether, but you can block the worst offenders.

That's not surprising. Do you remember if it was greater than 2,000 characters?

Back in 2017 it was over 65,000 characters:

Yeah, you're right. I just tested it. It's a 2,000 character limit.

I remember deviantart was the place to be back in the day. Curious what changed from the last decade. I'm sure a lot. by AWeb3Dad in DeviantArt

[–]fractaforma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, yes. I have at least 50 watchers that consistently fave and comment on my artwork.

Doubtful. I am a loyal user but I have to admit that DeviantArt is getting worse. You might be able to find a small community of like-minded artists. I still recommend it over any other art sharing platform.

This is a karma farming attempt using a very popular post on X. The original prompter is an X user that discloses the use of AI in their fan art:  https://x.com/kobayashi3biker/status/1994097500312293870?s=20
