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

Grouchy 
Because I believe something that sound weird some of the people out there that we are sharing same thoughts and dreams in some dimension and all the great, bright and beautiful ideas about anything (art, music, science, literature ect.) coming from a great mind in the center of the universe which we call God. I think that's universe's way to send messages through people.
I sometimes imagine movie scenes and saw them in movies after years before first time I think of them. Same happened on art pieces too.
For me that proves that there's no "out there" nor "in here" - we are all connected with each other, connected with nature, animals even microbes and of course we are all connected with universe and God source.
And it's so beautiful so share the dreams like that...
1. Flat flowy Mucha style
2. Circular motif with cross legged semi-topless Goddess types
3. Asian girls in flowy red dresses
D:< I recently bought their 50th issue, and laughed at their cover competition where 60% of the entries were just another play on the 'pretty female head with elaborate headress and flowy bits around the borders' theme. Even the actual cover does this, and done by a PRO! D:
I've neve rbought one of those magazine sin it either for practically the same reasons...I'm tired of seeing busty asian furturistic CG girls dominating every cover and every featured artist page...it's such a shame how drawing that kind of stuff is pretty much the only way to get recognised by the masses, probably because those who aspire to that kind of stuff are desperate little nerds who can never get enough of cyberpunk CG chicks
Oh, and robots too, if it's not a CG girl on the front cover, you can bet its a android of some sort
True, you couldn't buy more than two Imagine FX mags in a row (my record was five, but that was the first ever five issues, and the inside art got worse for the hefty cover price). But I'm aiming to submit work to them anyway - not just for the exposure
I won't submit to IFX. I mean, if they contact me one day then I won't turn it away either (not sacrifice my one big chance!) but for now I don't desire it enough to actively go for it (plus, the longer I wait - the better, I would surely be better and faster at what I do in a years time than now
You're a much better artist than I am just by working solo, esp with your Vue work.
I've also had very bad experiences with a major manga publisher last year, as well as getting any f**k all exposure through their company that they promise (and give) to their other (admittedly less skilled but more 'dynamic') artists. Still, I hope you never drop Art for any feeble reason, my good sir, as that's the worst a budding artist can do!
XD joke
about that contest.. haha, I happened to be looking through the recent Halloween contest entries.. and like 1 in 4 was something completely random and not even Halloween related..
there should be some common sense test to join dA xD
I finished judging that contest recently, needless to say it wa shard to pick a winner because most of them were just...disappointing
