For the sake of keepin it real..

Mon Mar 16, 2009, 10:30 AM
This ones inspired by mi amigo *elKoi's recent journal [link]

I wanted to add my two cents, I'm not gunna tear anyone a new butt hole like she did lmao
However I do agree that there are a lot of arrogant artists on this site, to be fair if you have the skills to pays the bills then you are well within your rights to look in the mirror and lick your lips and tell yourself how awesome you are and that you are the shit with your incredible amount of pageviews or whatever.. but, it does become a problem when you think you're so awesome people will like whatever you pull outta yer ass, na uh.. nope. There are however some really humble artists who are also DA heavy weights and focus on their art rather than popularity and attention and those are the people whose art I watch and enjoy.

I mean, I've really noticed that DA is becoming less about the art and more about stats. Now with that said one shouldn't be made to feel guilty for having a high pageview count or faves. The major problem with stats is that they do NOT accurately reflect your artistic talent or skill, what stats do is simply indicate how much of an audience you have managed to attract. But I digress, really I just wanted to say no matter what level you're at, you should humble yourself, respect others, accept criticism and the fact that you'll never be perfect and as such listen to what people have to say to you.

What shits me in particular(no offense if this applies to you) is when someone gives an "artist's description" like "...." or "." ---- To me that's saying, "what I've done is too good for words, I needn't waste any of my time communicating or explaining what the hell this is, what it is for or how I made it, you will simply like it and enjoy it because I am me, and I posted it" This is even more frustrating when the artwork being viewed is an exellent artwork, because I have many questions which will go unanswered due to lack of a description =/

...see watchu made me do Grace lol
Its 4:25am.. why the hell am I still up?

word homie, i think a lot of peoples actions are based around their fears of not being noticed enough, and i whole heartedly agree with u that this site is slowly becoming more about the stats than it is about the art, i think the whole pageview thing should be removed so peoples egos, emotions and esteem stay in tact!!

I agree but I don't really see it as a problem I just don't read anything from people that act that way. As far as some people being good enough to be cocky about their work I just think that they should show me how good they are, if they have to tell me there probably not as good as they think they are.

right on dude - i'm actually quite the fan of my watchers. They're the ones that give me some great feedback on my stuff, so I take their presence over pageviews any day.

And bear in mind, I'm not referring to your work at all. I know you have girls with their breasts exposed. That's totally kosher in my opinion since it's a character, there's a reason for it, and all that. You don't just make fap fodder.

It's the makers of fap fodder that I hate, cuz' this isn't a porn site; it's an art site. If they want to make porn art, I can suggest a few good sites to post their work... just not here.

Oh I understand what you're saying and I agree, some of it(the mentioned artwork) to a point seems extremely unnecessary,I mean if some people consider it art or worthy of the talentful community of DA the so be it, personally I think some of that is just really cheap. Believe it or not I try to avoid drawing enormous breasts on my characters unless that may be a character trademark lol.
