That's right, Jerry Springer style - where the least entertaining, but the most valuable material is saved for after the scenes where disgruntled people rip at each other

The fact is - while I still don't fully believe it wasn't based off my Where subscriber's money goes. There's just as little proving it was so after talking with the maker I decided to let this ONE instance slide - I still stand by everything I said and I think what those said in their comments still remains valid to anything really - so I reckon no-one wasted any time here, since it proved a point for future events that will inevitably piss me off in the future...so now that you all know - don't do it

Still, I think it provided an excuse for me to now talk about something that struck me a while beforehand when I saw another artwork that was similar to mine, but not entirely - otherwise I wouldn't have complimented the artist like I did, first - some visuals before I keep talking:


The first one is mine, the second is from another artist I watch and have nothing against, so this isn't a "bad" feature again people but it's an example of how two similar works cannot cause the artists to clash when they see each other...Mine was on here before his and I was actually a little shocked when I saw it in my inbox. But I noticed that although the two artworks are similar concepts, they are just different enough to be unique and so that picture didn't bother me as much a sthat other did since I sill think the resemblence of the island ones was still scaringly dead-on. My final thought is - if you must draw something, at least think outside the box in terms of colour, composition, lighting, angle, perspective etc - since chances are - your "original" idea has probably been done before...For those who do generic stuff like portraits of celebrities, photo's of flowers or pictures of planets floating over a landscape or whatever - there's less stress there since those have been done to death anyway and nobody "owns" those things. Just like nobody here owns islands and the dA logo - but I was the first-ever to combine the two and one can't blame me for getting upset, that's like Buzz Aldrin telling everyone that HE was the first person to step on the moon

DeviantWORLD Contest
I was also reminded of me being a judge for the "DeviantWORLD" contest, and once again the stupidity of people surfaces there too, just look at the entries [link] - half of them have NO relavence to the topic whatsoever...there you have it - 50% of you contestants have already FAILED in my eyes
