Scrap your Crapby `priteeboy

Saying what most of you guys are thinking

The good thing about dA is that its free for all. Your works aren't sent through an esteem-crushing judge panel. And nor are you charged to be able to submit as much as you want

But it's so easy to abuse, while there should remain no minimum quality standards here, I think users themselves really should think about what they are posting...

Is that doodle on the back of your crumpled math exam really your best drawing?

Do you really think applying a Photoshop filter to a stock image constitutes as "photo-manipulation?"

Are your watchers really interested in seeing 20+ renders or photo's of the same thing from every angle imaginable?

Don't you think too many WIP's will make people not-care about it anymore by the time you're done?

Are movie, anime and video-game screenshots really fanart?

Is your beloved pet seriously the most interesting thing you can take a photo of?

This isn't a stand against "bad art". It's a stand against "non-art". You can't complain if someone can barely draw, especially if they're young or new to it, so long as they try - good for them. But there's tons of things that are not even bad-art - they're just boring, annoying and simply a waste of dA's server space. Yeah your deviantART account isn't a "portfolio" (for most), but surely your serious attempts deserve better than to be drowned out by screenshots and random pet photo's

Your gallery doesn't have to be a representation of your best work only, but trust me - it's better if it is

Before asking questions In case this becomes popular...

It took me a couple of hours to make. I used Photoshop to make the individual art/frames and strung them together in Animation Shop 2 which you probably haven't heard of since it's as old as this site itself and I'm not making tutorials, just saying

To use it, copy and paste the thumb code (lower right near all the comment/fave/etc stats) into your journal or shoutboard. If it doesn't work then either you didn't copy the whole thing or you're not giving this wonderful site enough of your ~~soul~~ money and you'd better get a premium membership now!

Title Changed used to be "Don't Submit Crap" but a better title was suggested by ~Armonah

All artwork and animations in my gallery remains my own copyrighted property. Do not re-upload this stamp or use it beyond the intended, typical stamp purpose.

And there is also those people who think that DA is simply an photoalbum, or image hosting for "cool picz from da internets"...

Those aren't even good enough for scraps

HAHA "Save your crap for your scraps"?
What is that supposed to mean?

You funny though

It means that is people want to upload stuff that isn't their best art, then at least put it in their scraps. Too often I see people who have otherwise decent galleries which are ruined by them spamming hundreds of bad photo's of their dog or something in there as well. I'm sure their visitors care more about their artwork, not their pooch
