User blog comment:Thetardisrocks/What's so special about dA???/@comment-5314731-20130808030442

to me, the nice thing about dA is that it's a place full of artists who are serious about their art, which makes it a nice place to find advice and such, not to mention the art is great to look at

there certainly are artists on dA who aren't very serious about their work, i know i'm one of them, but it's still nice

also, the fact that instead of having to make passive aggressive comments on a copy of your picture, you can just report the stolen work and the dA admins will take it down as soon as they can

and actually there's a lot more traditional art than you'd think! i'm not sure what the most popular medium is on dA, but you can still find a bunch of traditional stuff

dA isn't for everyone, but it's really a great place to get your work out there, and it also makes a good portfolio of sorts for applying to art schools

idk i just really like dA haha
