What are you likes/dislikes about DA? Your habits on DA?

I'd like to say that I really love this website. It's an addiction for me, more than any other website.

I love it's international flavor, the wide array of art you can find here with varying styles and content, the unlimited storing space for your art, and the way you can get instanteous critiques and comments on your work.

It does have it's downsides, though. Quality does not always translate into you getting the attention you deserve. Certain fan art, the effective use of a manga style, and cuteness rules the roost. You could spend days on a fantastic piece and it could be trounced and obliterated by a piece of fanart done in a couple of hours. Ah well...

As for habits on DA, I expose myself to new art by looking at the "Newest" section every time I log onto the website. That, and I look at the Favorite Galleries of people who fave my artwork and see if there's anything I like there. And, of course, I look at the artwork of my friends and comment on them, if I can think of anything to say.

I try to answer every comment on my deviations but I don't have time to thank people for every fave I get. The reason I communicate with everybody is I appreciate them taking the time to stop by and say something. I'm not cosmically huge but there are people who, once they're popular, stick their noses into the air and take their viewers for granted. "Worship me" is their attitude.

I'm still doing pre-production on "Miss Doomsday". I'm still pondering whether or not to go realistic on the comic or cartoony. I'm leaning towards cartooning the comic, but I can't abandon drawing the comic realistically. That's because a more realistic style would allow for the more dramatic parts to shine. Most importantly, I'd be able to draw Anne older and in her underwear. Oh, these artistic dilemmas!

It seems they've awarded President Obama a Nobel Peace Prize. Folks, if you think that's impressive, wait until he actually gets started.

Bah.

Jaehthebird ( ) has drawn some unconventional fan art for "Opey the Warhead".

It features Opey...more or less. Okay, definitely more.



Jae, what an awesome piece. You make Opey look hawt (a task I didn't think possible).

Also doing the impossible is TrashMe ( ). She makes me look cute:



Thanks, Morgan!
