Wow, some of this stuff is great! I have a dA account and spend too much time there (though not as much as TL). I do have a suggestion though - could you link to the artists' dA accounts? It would be great looking through the rest of their galleries as well.

And HOLY FUCK DAT MONONOKE HIME IS GOOD.

Raving over, carry on. You sir, are indeed a gentleman and a scholar.

I've been very tempted to start a '[SFW] Pictures you think are awesome' thread that would accept any and all personal definitions of awesome (as opposed to 'meaningful' or 'funny' pictures not being universal). But then I always get too lazy to run the idea through an admin and end up dropping it >_>. Anyways, the pictures you've provided in this blog would have been just the type I would have looked for an awesome pictures thread.

Contributions (hijack) while I drop by, first five I don't remember where I got them from anymore.

Second five I got from 4chan /c/'s scenic threads that pop up every now and then. /c/'s 'scenic', 'exotic clothing', and 'unsual' threads always deliver for me. <insert K-on girl> thread #24, not as much.

Thought you would be seeking out the best SC art on deviant, of which there is a lot, but this is mostly embarrassing/generic. I think if you spend a bit more time looking at random deviant art, you will see there is way too much of some of this stuff haha. Oh well, to each his own

the rampant downloading and reuploading someones art is making me weep (even if its eye candy or 'free promotion' or whatever other silly reason thats supposed to justify it). ;;

Instead of having to scour the internets to find more about the artist, and possible other works from an image that might not be watermarked with an address, do this instead -

• Go to your favorites / add collection, name it whatever (i.e "July Favs", "CGI Women", "Cars", etc)
  
• Write a blog post that contains a link to said collection when you feel you want to present your selection. Thus making everyone see the same list in one click, and then easily with another click if need be, find more work by said artist, more info of the artist itself, the backstory of the creation, favorite, comment on the work/ ask questions from the author should you want to know more etc.
  

By stripping the artwork here from its source, you 'dont create an easier watching experience' - you just reupload pics on imgur, disassociate it from any connections to the artist, and force your selection on us. While there is great stuff in the list, i dont feel like i want to see all of it, id like to select from a list that has a common theme, as vague as that might be. And I'd definitely want to find out more about some of the artists behind the stuff in this list (this one might just be a personal issue for me though) ,to see their other work and perhaps even find out about their methods, since i dig the style.


At the very least,
if you don't feel like being a responsible consumer (cause you don't have to, right, 'others don't, everyone knows that') just, out of courtesy, add a deviation link to each pic youve rehosted (which i still find silly but whatevs). Atleast have a source.

I guess I didn't word myself clear enough, sorry for that
What I meant is, as chef also put, its a generic selection, doesnt really have a theme/narrative to it.
And I also meant that in case of a selection as random and varied as this, I'd much rather go through thumbnails in a favorite collection on dA and click on stuff that intrigues me, for example.

Nice troll blog.

Highlighting those pictures as representative of the talent at DA is like taking random balance whine posts from the SC2 forum and call it representative of TL.

GG.
