Artist's Comments

Wordle.net has a great feature where you upload the text from anything and it will create a neat word cloud based on the frequency of the words found in the text.

You can change the colors, layouts, maximum number of words, fonts etc. Very, very cool.

I wanted to base it on something personal so I got all the text from my deviantART journals, going back to 2003, and uploaded it to see the results.

Since it's not easy for anyone to get the text from their journals (due to pagination and also false words like "Journal Entry:", "13 Comments" etc, anyone who wants the full text file of their journals can note me and I'll send them the text files by querying the database.

If there is enough demand for this, we might even build a feature where you can grab the text yourself.

Why do today what can surely wait for tomorrow...
or the next day for that matter.

Heh, it also seems to catch emotes like "pointl" and "pointr" which are, ironically, nearly positioned at opposite corners in the cloud. :bucktooth:

Very great idea! :#1:

definitely a cool thing to do. this would be a great built-in feature of the journal, but also of comments on photos... if you could get all of the comment text for all photos in one text file...

You're my hero!

that would be a cool thing. i'll have to think about it.. it would be a huge text file depending on how popular the deviant is.

yeah, but you'd get clouds with major words like "vivid" "beautiful" "emotional", etc. Would be a pretty neat thing to show the artist's style..
:iconelectricnet:
Yeah, I realise, I just thought it was kinda funny. :bucktooth:

Sure, send me the text if you have time, 'cause it'd be awesome to try to run my journal text through that thing! :#1:
