These are the thoughts the Real Artists On DeviantArt are having about the 'Contests' and 'Challenges' and everything about what this website is doing to the artworld...
*This is just a note concerning the outcome of this 'Draw This Again' contest and many of the contests here at DeviantArt...I think I might want to leave this website because as I see it has turned out, I cannot compete in any contest on this website where there are a million 'artists' who are so into the 'Anime' styled stuff that these 'artists' actually think they are creating true works of art...I want to create an 'Anime Virus' with no anti-dote and watch that style simply die out of existence! Here's a thought that got me going, I hope not a single 'Anime' Picture will EVER be put in a Museum or somewhere where REAL ARTWORK is hung for the world to see, like "The Metropolitan Museum Of Art" in New York I hope will NEVER have anime hanging from their walls. The "Corcoran Museum" in Washington D.C. I hope will NEVER have anime hanging in their magnificent gallery either...and I truly hope that there is No Way On Gods Green Earth will anime EVER BE ON DISPLAY IN ANY OF THE SMITHSONIAN MUSEUMS OF ART...I really hope THAT never happens! To me, I see this as DeviantArt has 'SOLD THEMSELVES OUT' for whatever reason I know not, but that is so very a sad commentary even upon itself. I Really Want To Say Good Bye DA and to your little 'kiddie contests and challenges' because this is THE END FOR ME...I Really Think I've Had It Up To Here! All my work on this site could possibly disappear from these pages and I will go find a site that is worthy of good, real and creatively awesome artwork that doesn't consider 'Anime' artwork AT ALL! DeviantArt, you should consider changing your name to "AnimeArt.com". Because That is 98% Of What I see being posted and viewed by, for, to and about these freaky looking cartoon type Charactures with Big ears, Big eyes and the ever on-going none-look-the-same trendy crap that is not artwork in my mind! It's DOODALING! And I'm not saying that change in a direction that comes with the millinium is what this is, because I am one who Whole-Heartedly Welcomes Change but DA, there should be seperation between their city and the artists' state, Anime And Creative Art...otherwise All this is doing is depriving the world of hard working, and talented people who's work is so hidden in between all the Anime, people will not take the time to look through pages of the cartoons to find work they consider art, so it gets lost...perfect! Good Luck Keeping The Great Artists who do submit here to not be submitting any longer...I'm sure they will be leaving one day before too long! I have a good insight to seeing what comes from certain decisions that are made, and where they lead...I have witnessed a scene and saw the outcome way before what I saw happen, and then it happens and it's a wild sense I have to be the one saying "I told you so!" Whether it be 5 minutes or 5 days, 5 weeks or 5 years...what I see into the future of the subject comes to happen...
"The Trouble With Tribbles" - A Title to an old Star Trek episode....this is exactly that!

I cannot deny that this site is flooded with anime and its associated style, but then so is every art site on the web. Personally I like anime when done to a decent standard, but I too feel swamped by it. The only feasible way to separate your artwork from it completely is to create your own site, but you would spend more time moderating content than producing it. Deviantart is probably still the best place to display art and has made some progress to segregate content, but you would have a hard job promoting any of the other sections over anime.
I understand your concern about anime invading prestigious art galleries, but I am afraid you are too late: the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art has had workshops and lectures in which anime has featured, and the British Museum had a manga exhibition a few years ago. Also, because anime is not entirely new but a modern take on the centuries old east Asian print making, it could be argued that some of the later prints are early anime. If so then almost any museum you care to name have had anime hung on its walls for decades.
