Nope, no decent deity images here....

badstarDoing image searches on deviantArt both pisses me off and depresses me.
All I want is a few decent deity images and almost all I can find are anime/manga drawings- as if no other fucking artistic style exists, and they're all either so cutesy I wanna vomit or trying to look dark and spooky and just not really going anywhere. Then there's the occasional video-game-designer wannabe.
Oh, come on. I just want a few decent images of my gods that I like and can afford.
Why in the hell must I wade through 134,956 anime drawings ranging from unoriginal and terminally boring to pukingly cute to "ooooh look how spooky I can be" to just plain flat out mind-blowingly stupid to maybe find one or two decent pieces?
Google images isn't much better. But there, it's mostly just reiterations of the same couple of classical statues. Oh, and Battlestar Galactica. Because, you know, Apollo? Try doing a google search without certain words, and it frequently seems like "without" is translated to "please return ten times the number of images of the excluded keywords as before"
I give up. The stupid site won't let me view more than one page of any search right now, so it's even more a waste of time than usual.
I would make the images myself but I would never be able to paint or draw deity images that I would be willing to put on a shrine. Maybe someday if I ever get a computer that can handle heavy graphics programs....
