Take 5 minutes and read this and let me know your opinion.
I must say that i'm disappointed with the way that deviantart works...
First of all, when you read the title you have a sort of impression that you will find art here, but not to worry people have mistaken this site with facebook a lot... Sure you need one photo for the ID part, but how many do you really need?
Furthermore i don't like the fact that 12 year old kids give a lot of comments and favorite a lot of work just so they can have more pageviews than the other kid... I would be a hypocrite not to say that in the beginning i did the same thing, but only for about 2 months.
This thing doesn't upset me really, but what does is the fact that some really good artists with great photos such as:
eukendei.deviantart.com/ or
quiescent-reverie.deviantart.c… are very underrated.
Take
eukendei.deviantart.com/ for example, his photos are very hard to obtain, and has limited time each day to take them (because of the sun). It might seem easy to take, but it's not and i would like you guys to try and take a long exposure photo to see if you get it right.
One more thing, don't you have it when you get a favorite and then you thank the other person, and they don't even give you a "your welcome". And on the other hand, good artists, always have a certain pleasure in talking to you about their work and used techniques...
I know there is not much anyone can do about this subject, but the least we can do is not to encourage this behavior any more and not to practice it ourselves...
