yes, I am ungrateful, actually

Sat Jun 6, 2009, 9:09 PM
I have to say, that for a so-called "community", deviantART has somewhat let me down.
From what I can tell, this site is composed of a group of people all striving to build up large "favourite" galleries of fan art. And on top of that frustrating habit of collecting others' artwork, there is stunningly little actual SUPPORT by the other artists. There appears to be a long standing competition between warring individuals, angrily fighting for pageviews, or more-comments-than-so-and-so. So strong is the competition, that few actually stop to appreciate the artwork of someone else. At least, that is the impression given.
I do not exclude myself from the masses, I admittedly am as guilty of fav-ninjaing as anyone else. But I do try to comment, when I see something truly outstanding. Or a drawing that is outstanding, but has few comments already. Or an aspect of the image that is truly original and deserves vocal praise!
So I am disappointed in you, my fellow artists. I am disappointed that nobody has risen to the occasion, and SAID SOMETHING! We all claim to be outspoken people, but are too locked in our own little worlds to really notice and help one another. I thought this was the problem! I'm sure we've all received startling negative impact, enough to force us into a shell--again, I am no stranger to being rubbed in the dirt by a complete stranger. I've had my crap LAUGHED at, by teachers, peers, and even prospective employers. But I'm still here, throwing my best onto paper and begging for just a little love.
Tell me what I'm doing wrong, tell me what you like about my stuff! Just TALK TO ME! Don't make me beg anymore.

Great stuff! You've got some serious talent going on. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next. :)

You cannot know how wonderful it is to read a comment that actually sports some positive feedback, however nonspecific. I normally try not to needlessly reply 'thank u' to every comment posted, but I feel that in my enthusiasm you deserve one. I am truly grateful you perused my doodles.
