Check all yer other messages first...that way I can have your undivided attention lol
Hi, sorry for pestering everyone with (what is it now?...FOUR Journals in one week? lol, thats not like me) Anyway, I'm gonna pull a Jerry Springer here and give my "Final thought" on some things relating to my previous journals (which will be removed later since I only keep the more "important" ones) and if you last long enough, well I'll try to put some positive stuff at the end.
Collections: the idea of collections was one of DA's better ones I think, or at least it's original intentions were. But to me now, I'm already over the whole "collection" thing. Not only did my own plan to make my own collections both work, AND backfire on me at the same time. But the other "popular" collections left me in an even more disgruntled mood. It seems most of the popular collections were filthy and blatant PORN, no, not "artistic nude" but just pussy and ass shots. I know this because the titles of the collections were given names just as distasteful as those. "Porn", "Sexy", "Hentai", "Ass shots", "Hot girls", "Pussy"...If I knew my collections would be up against those, which got heaps of faves quickly from this sites filthy porn addicts who have DA running while they flog their log, then I wouldn't have bothered.
And don't get me started on those who made collections entirely of their OWN work to gain more popularity. Those narcissists can lick my balls.
But hey, the "Space and Science Fiction" one still made it to the first page, so it worked in one way...Too bad that during the few days my collections were getting attention, my own gallery was getting half the attention and my faves and comments received have been the lowest ever since 2006.
Features: like collections, the concept of "featuring someones work" is a great one. We all love it when an artist more popular than ourselves features our work, I know I do. But that too can bring out the sour side of someone who just wants to do the general public some good. Before I rant here, let me say that if you WERE featured in one of the other journals (provided you participated in what I asked, those who didn't are in no-mans land right now and I have no problem with), you are safe and don't fall into this category of watchers that I refer to as "seagulls". I gave these few, shallow-minded people that name because, like seagulls at a beach, they come out of nowhere in massive flocks as soon as you hold out a hot chip (or in this case, a feature offer) and pretty much will stoop to the lowest levels just to get the most meagre morsel. I can't tell you how many dozens of people this week have faved heaps of my collections AND art, and then have removed them by the time I visited them, just for attention...I'm not stupid y'know? just too lazy to filter these out from the rest.
I intend on doing features for some special artists in the future, but they will be of my choosing and I won't be offering them at large like before...my friends, DON'T pull this stunt, it will make you lose a SHITLOAD of respect for this site's members. Just ask
...she just had a similar thing happen, when all she wanted to do was a favour for the public, in return for a favour from them to help her out, and it all just had adverse effects.
And now for the positive part you spent all that time skipping through the rest to see lol...I'll be submitting my 100th deviation very soon, I'm excited
Clubs/Groups:
WOW that was a lot, if you made it this far, then you deserve a Coke.
Yeah...I need to change this footer lol, hope Pepsi is OK?

Not Impressed 
Just like art theft, it's happened to me before, and I ranted before. But I found some new offenders today, and am not gonna make another journal-rant on THAT lol.
That smurf thing sounds bad. But still, I am more offended by actual photo's of that stuff than cartoony, drawn stuff (even if it's violent)
I guess all we can do is report them if we come across them.
Also, I heartily look forward to seeing your 100th submitted deviation. This should be a blast.
And yes, glad to feature you (put yours right on the top, I thought one of my most loyal watchers deserved it
Wow, you put me on the top of the journal because of that? Thank you! I never even thought of it that way, but it makes the fact that I was featured by such an extraordinary artist as yourself even more special. It truly means a lot.
It works in two levels, not only is it a filthy act, but they are pretty much taking advantage of another artists work in order to bring more attention to them. Unlike me, I bet they never even commented or faved the work beforehand, to show that they really appreciate it.
It's easy to pose nude and take a picture. If you want to call it art paint a naked person but even so I'm still not a fan of it. Manet is a good example but I couldn't tell you a single one of his paintings.
Some people care to much about publicity here. I'd be happy with just a few people following my story. Just to know there are some reading it and they like it is enough for me you know?
