Ok, here are some questions and stuff that bothers me.
I want to make a journal out of it, so that all can read it, if they want to. Don't start bitching, this is my opinion, and if you read don't like it, then fuck off. I am of course open for other people's opinions, but it's not certain that I will care.
Why I don't do fanart of official charactersHow easy is it not to earn popularity by drawing fanart? First of, I want to say that I don't scorn people who do, because if they want to draw fanart, and have fun doing it, well... that's their case! I on the other hand... For example, you can find hundreds of Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, whatever, pictures on DA. Some are really good and put a lot of work into, and I respect that, I fav some of those pics myself. But when a simple low doodle sketch or whatever gets on the front page, just because it's
fanart, then it pisses me off. I see several fantastically talented artists around on DA every day, and they do not get half the attention, just because they actually use their freaking mind and come up with their own creations! People do not even bother to throw a glance at these pictures, just because it isnt Sephirot, Riku or whoever the fuck. I would like to earn my reputation and potential popularity because people like what I draw, because people like my things. I think its sad that talented artists around DA dont get attention whatsoever, just because they draw their own things. So fuck off!!!
People who fav my entire gallery in a matter of two minutes, but doesnt leave a single commentThis is bullshit. How can I feel honoured in any way, just because anyone favs all my drawings, yet doesnt tell me why? And it certainly feels really special when I see that these people have like three thousands pictures in their favourites. What are you thinking with? I am really careful with my favourites, I fav only pictures that I really really enjoy, that touches something within me, that I truly like. But when people just hit the favourite button like it was an enter- or space button, it means nothing! Its like theyre just faving just to do it. Would it really hurt you so damned much to just take one, two, perhaps maximum three pictures and tell me why you like them? And dont try to tell me that Oh, but everything is so good, I have to fav it all! Lawwwl! Thats not fucking true. If everything is just as good, how come your favourites consist of nothing but the same thing over and over again. Not every picture is just as good. Perhaps you feel like youre giving a compliment to the artist by faving every single one of his/hers picture, but its really just fucking annoying.
People leaving one word commentsHow many times have I not gone over this? Its because this is my biggest irritation. If I see a picture, and I really like it, I try to leave a somewhat proper comment. Doesnt have to be a whole article, but just some sentences to give a little credit to the artist that has worked her ass off. A simple cool or kawaii doesnt mean anything! It doesnt describe what you like about the picture, it couldve been about the News button at the top of the banner for all I know! And people saying But I dont know what more to say!. Well, then dont say anything at all! I will ignore you equally if you do, and you spare yourself the god damn trouble! Does it really take more than five brain cells to type two, three sentences?
So yeah... Fuck off.
It is annoying when people don't leave comments and such, though. Most of the time if I don't it's because I'm just lazy. Plus, I feel like good artists have heard it all before. =3 I guess that's a silly assumption, though.
I agree that it's annoying that people become popular because of fanart, even though I do enjoy drawing it. I've seen more Axel Roxas pictures on dA than I'd ever imagine even existed. _-_
Oooh, Axel and Roxas. Cute couple indeed, but when is it gonna stooop!?
but not me!! I am full of j-rocker hug spirits and they shall stay miiiiiiine~!!! >8D
xD;;;
Aww, now really. I agree with you, man! D:
Peace, out.
Love you too~! But the j-rocker spirits are miiiine, so no hug for the next....months! xD;;;
