Show Them You Love Them Contest!

*Ruffian2001:iconRuffian2001: reports, 2d 39m ago
The Show Them You Love Them contest is to benefit and raise awareness for the abused and unwanted animals you find in shelters worldwide. We are trying to help show the DA community the love that we pet owners have for our animals, or to show the pain and desolation of those lonely few who roam the streets without love and affection. This contest is open to everyone, whether you have an animal or not, and has two divisions: Amateur and Professional. The Grand Prize is a 2 year subscription, free print, 3 news articles and 31 journal features!

This contest has received a fantastic amount of acclaim and has been sponsored by multiple clubs within the DA community! Please love this article if you support this contest and help spread the word by advertising in your journal! Even if you only get 3 or 4 page views per day, it can still make a difference in this contest!

Why do some 'artists' have to be dicks!

=AngelCrusher:iconAngelCrusher: reports, October 4, 2006
Some people cannot just keep their mouth shut, but out of jealousy abuse other deviants on their art. It sickens me.

Recently I was told of a deviation that made the front page. I heard it was this big joke and that the artwork was rubbish, so I went and checked it out. What I saw was ammatuer still life, clearly not a accustomed and used to doing this sort of thing. But people were complaining at him for being on the front page! They were abusing the artist, name calling on their front page and being rude about the artwork!

Why!?

Constructive criticism is one thing, "I dont mean to be rude, but this looks rubbish" is another. What really gets me is all this people complain and moan that a deviation is undeserving of being on the front page, so what makes something worthy?

I see many cartoons, nude photos, comicstrips, fanart, portraits, and I dont think alot of them deserve all the attention they get. Do I complain at the artist? No. I respect the artist and their work, if I find something about the art I like, I comment on it. If I dont like it I dont comment, simple.

Things become popular because of favourites and pageviews. When you all keep going on a deviation you think is undeserving just because you want to feel better about yourself and belittle someone else, remember you are just strengthen the length of the deviation being popular. How would you feel yourself if artwork of yours hit the front page and hundreds of people insulted you?

A few people I know have been there. My artwork has been there because someone coloured my lines. The words were not as harsh but they still cut sharply.

So this goes to all the dicks in deviantArt who think they are better than everyone else, raising a big middle finger up and them and saying to grow up and learn some respect. If you went to an artists gallery in real life and they were there, you wouldnt insult and artist in their face. You wouldnt have went to the gallery to begin with if you didnt like the look of the artwork.

There are alot of good people of deviantArt, but this section of deviants who think like this sicken me, and I couldnt bite me tongue any longer.

FAQ #687: What is news and what is not news?

:iconmikkelt:
Well, to some extent it's allright to write "editorials", but expressing personal thoughts and feeling to this extent, is at least not something I find to fit very well, often, it does better in ones journal

Hi, I'm Mikkel!
:iconangelcrusher:
can you actually delete news submissions? or do they stay up there forever?

You can't, moderators can, though, but it'll take some time before it's done - and of course only if the admins think it's not to stay - don't think too much of it :)

News works at its best if you punctuate and spell correctly, and do not swear.

lol Probably should have read over it eh? Spelling 'amateur' wrong aswell of all things. ^_^

I was just angry at the time and venting. People just add their snide remarks all the time and its wrong.

This would've made a great editorial had you paid more attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation and had watched your language a bit more. As it is, it looks more like a Journal entry than an editorial.
