My Bio

I DO NOT, AND WILL NEVER SELL MY ART AS NFT'S

STOP ASKING ME ABOUT IT

Software used:
UltraFractal 6.05 (Main workhorse)
Photoshop CS5.1 (For frames and minor postwork)

Q: Those are some nice images you have there! How did you paint it/take the photo/where did you take it from the internet?

A: Thanks, but they are (mostly anyways) not photographs or "real" paintings. They are fractals. To say it simply, infinite shapes made by math. I just happen to "paint" with numbers instead of acrylic. Since fractals can scale up and down infinitely, I can render a fractal in virtually any size I want.

Usually, I create my pieces with UltraFractal, and the only post-work I do is sharpening when manual downsampling fails me.

Q: Where can you be found?

A: Nowhere. I have a discord and a telegram, but those are only for people I know.

Q: Do you roleplay?

A: Yes, I play Exalted, Mage the Awakening, Orpheus and pretty much any other WW/OPP game sans Vampire. I can't stand those edgy, moody mothersuckers.

Q: Color or Colour?

A: Colour.

Q: 50 1 H34RD U L!3K MUDK195?

A: Fuck off.

Q: Can I get a Llama Badge??A: Fuck off x2. Llama badges were a stale April Fool's joke that only got worse by sticking around for a decade.

Q: What is art??

A: Art is a piece of craft in a media one is able to perceive with one or more of our five senses that conveys either a message from the artist, an emotion or just an ambient feeling. Therefore, your crappy sonic recolour is not art. It is just a crappy piece of craft. Deal with it.

No, seriously. Over the past year, I've had one to four of these pop up in my dA chat a day, and it's getting seriously exhausting. They always start with some awful generic semi-compliment that could apply to literally anything, and then they immediately ask if you're willing to sell your art as an NFT because they're "digital collectors of art". I assume that the scam here is phishing, and that they're trying to make you register and dump all your personal information onto a scam site that sends it on to advertisers or straight up use that as a stolen identity online, but so far I haven't ventured far enough into this other than tell the people to kick rocks. Is this a huge problem on dA in general, or is it just localised to certain artists that they deem dumb enough to fall for it?

Okay, deviantART Staff. Can you please explain me how I am supposed to make a 100x100px avatar (.png or .jpeg) that's less than 15 kB large? The numbers aren't adding up here. Oh, new avatar btw.

I've been noticing that deviantART has been awfully quiet over the past two years I've been back. I remember 2010-2014 era deviantART where an upload could easily reach +10 comments on a slow day, but now in 2022, people just silently favouriting pieces without much feedback. I know that the Eclipse update basically murdered inter-community interaction by killing off all previously fondly used features like the chat and neglecting the forums and user groups, but I didn't expect it to be this barren. dA staff have tried to implement those frankly insulting pre-generated comment suggestions, and is therefore aware of the problem, but the approach is at best tone deaf. So, what do you guys think about it? Any other dA oldies who have anything to say about this?
