artist-confessions

Even if i get 50-2500 views on Fa, or 1 to 50 notes on tumblr I’m fine with that. Deviantart is still focused on what’s popular and there are some very talented artists out there who never get noticed. Art is to me art by / submitted by -jellymonkies

This is often how I get exposed to new artists, and it’s a great way to pass time on the Internet. background is edited from deviantART submitted by  -guardiansofthestrontiumsun

I see a lot of bashing artists ,and many who altered screenshots on comments and we shall never know if they are true. Can people use their brain for once and perhaps think on their own. Ask following questions: 1. What made this artist react like this? Do you know what is going on IRL? Do you know the full-story? 2. Popular artist does not automatically make them an asshole. 3 People who does not accept critique is not evil or dumb, it is a choice just like giving critique. 4.Encyclopedia Dramatica is not always right, some people on that website did small things like pissing of the wrong internet psycho. Some just trace, tracing does not make you a horrible person . Making money on it, then maybe. 5. Somebody who refuse a request is not bad, unless they where very rude about it 6. Realism is not GOD, neither is Anime/Manga. Let people draw whatever they want. I have found out that many of those who have article on ED are very nice people . People who where painted out as assholes on this blog where later found out to be nice, and promoted people who are so “nice” where later found out to be kinda arrogant and mean. But that is how life is.. and so is the internet. Everybody´s experience is different. I dislike people who cross the line to cyber-bullying to do “justice”. We all are start to realize that Deviantart and the internet is filled with over-emotional and sensitive teens and adults also kids that perhaps needs to take a break. And perhaps need some medication . Did these people deserve hate? Or perhaps they did not! Even if they did, who made you the judge , jury and executioner? Nobody did. So stop it! -submitted by Anonymous

For some reason, this seems to be a HUGE problem with a lot of people on deviantart! Lots of people complain that people “only fave” their art instead of commenting on it. A fave doesn’t mean your art isn’t good, it means SOMEONE LIKES WHAT YOU MADE. It does not mean “it’s not worth commenting,” it means “I like what you made.” Maybe some people just don’t want to comment. Don’t make people feel guilty over it. I mean, sure, I love getting comments, but I appreciate each and every fave I get, no matter how big or little. Please remember that even though someone just faves your work and doesn’t comment on it, it doesn’t mean it’s worthless. Image is by me (my handwriting) submitted by -Anonymous

Demotivational posters where you take something of google, or a screenshot to make a point , later to add it to Deviantart is not art. You can go to a online creator and make one within a few seconds. So no, it is not art. Defend it shows your lack of art taste. -submitted by Anonymous

I normally post my OCxCanon stuff on FanFiction, because people are a lot more accepting of it on there. I don’t normally write or draw OCxCanon either, but sometimes, when my life overwhelms me, I try to escape it by giving my characters a better life. It disgusts me, though, that the few times that I do actually draw or write OCxCanon and post it to deviantART, I get told that my OC is a Sue and that I need to grow up. Although, all these pre-teens that use bases and suck up to everyone make an OCxCanon piece and it’s “Aww, so cute!” and “What a lovely pairing! More!” I mean, what can I honestly say? Sorry that being an adult tends to suck? Sorry that my art is my emotional escape? Sorry that I am emotionally unstable and need art to keep it under control? I just want a little escape from the overwhelming points in my life, why can’t I get a little bit of praise when I make real art, even if it is OCxCanon? submitted by -Anonymous

This guy is incredibly lazy when it comes to art, and he has a bad attitude against critique as well.Because he finds his own art to be some form of gift from the gods. I do not care how he is because I blocked him months ago for spamming my page with “Please visit me!!” I do not have a problem with this either: “You’re welcome, feel free to visit my site and enjoy deviations, comment and fave anything you like. I hope to see what you will become and what we can teach and learn from each other. Oh a heart…oh great…it was part of a boobytrap…gets caught in trap. Enjoy the galleries beware of Andy and fangirl carbonite traps!” - typical copy &paste respond from him when you thank him for watches. My problem with him is the huge amount of unfinished, rushed and poorly made art he spams/ fills Deviantart with. He also SPAM watches people, I do not mean one or two. I mean over 50 people a day just to gain views on his art. He rarely comment these people. Unless when he posts his copy & paste comments directing them to his gallery to see some “amazing art”. This guys art is not good you can defend it as much as you wish. 3 Years and he has not improved at all, or even tries. He thinks just because he has 4000 images in his gallery it makes him a good artist. He is  extremely boot-licking, and oblivious to his own shameful art. It had to be said.. Submitted by anonymous

At my old school, my art had a purpose: To make my friends and myself happy.  However, I had to move away from them because my house had mold… My new school had no sympathy for any new kids, especially if they are different.  In other words, I was a bully victim.  I had to get counseling at least once a week because of it. With no one to share my art, which expressed what I liked, it had no purpose.  It remained useless until I got myself a DeviantArt account.  I met many great people over the years and it urges me to improve. Now I am a 5 year deviant.  Although I am underrated, I still have good friends to share my growing skill with. Submitted by GirlKirby/Zombie Images used:   Dialga Meets Mew -Old ver.
