During a rather harsh review for the end of my sophomore year yesterday, I was told by a member of the faculty on my review team that my work was very "deviantart," which I'm assuming by the tone is not a good thing.
Now, this person had seen me checking my account one day freshman year during their class (which was allowed), and since then, every FUCKING crit this person has had to mention "oh this is so deviantart of you, your FAVORITE WEBSITE! get a life and look at some real art." Kind of embarrassing? not even accurate? slightly unprofessional? a cop-out for not even being able to explain it further?

There are artists on this website from all areas of the world, of all ages, all styles, and all walks of life. What the FUCK makes something so "deviantart" and thus so terrible?
meeeeee, I must stink of emo-bloody invader zim-wannabe cartoon characters on lined notebook paper. Or poorly drawn photoshop-abused anime women with ill-proportioned breasts. Or perhaps all those damn cut-and-paste gothic photomanipulations that I do, taking place in graveyards with dark-haired women and the moon the size of the fucking sky itself.

I needed a good rant. Considering the issue, I figured some of you may find this amusing.
Tell me, what is disgustingly "deviantart" to you? And more importantly, how CAN I possibly change my EVIL ways of producing such terrible internet-influenced and unoriginal art????

(oh, and they said that my writing was bad.)
