So many Daily Deviations?

~osec:iconosec: reports, July 18, 2007
I don't quite understand why there are so many Daily Deviations these days? Have DeviantArt taken up more staff? Are there more so called well deserved Daily Deviations?

To me, DD's used to represent real talent, the WOW factor and a lot of the DD's I'm seeing these day's dont all have that. You may say 'One mans trash is another mans treasure' but it really isn't that hard to notice what's good and what's not.

You may see this and think, What is this guy talking about? He can't tell what good art is he does WebDesign but believe me I can tell when someone has worked really hard on something and deserves credit.

This is just a message to all people who can give out DD's also to those who suggest them.

Don't just suggest Daily Deviations just to hope to get a little more people view your gallery as I'm sure people at there will check you out when they see you suggested the piece.

Don't put something up for Daily Deviation unless it really gives the wow factor and you can tell a lot of hard work went into the deviation.


If you wish to flame me for this, be my guest but I'm just trying to get my point across and I respect that others may have a totally different opinion and if so I would like to hear them.

Thanks,

=osec

One thing for sure is that if the image clearly adhere's the Submission Agreement and if it's impressive and interesting enough, it would qualify for a Daily Deviation. :heart:

dA has taken enough gallery directors to do the job and select pieces of art that deserve it from talented artists.

Er, yes, there are more gallery directors now. Make sure to check your facts before complaining (not that complaints even belong in news).

Well maybe the Submission Agreement is slightly overrated in some cases. :bucktooth:

Its more of an opinion than a complaint.

And I wasn't sure what section to submit this in since I'm new to the news. :)

It doesn't bother me at all that there are more gallery directors, dA probably needed them its just are they making the right decision's in what they DD?

There are so many more artists of great talents out there on dA that aren't being recognized.

And yes I know that they can't see to every Deviant on the site.

Just remember that DDs are just deviations the gallery directors thought were cool and wanted to share with the community. If you feel they're not finding cool enough stuff to share, why not suggest some deviations yourself? Your suggestion will always be considered, and if it follows the rules probably used.

this isn't news,but I do agree with you,there are too many pieces in the DD section that don't deserve getting DDs

i agree with you in a way. back when they first started the Daily D's i thought it was all WOW cool. new great normally unseen artwork, not just another popularity contest how many friends can i get to fav this doodle so it gets on the front page, you need actual talent. And now there are so many its like yeah its still special, but somehow not as special. your no longer elite if 30 people get one a day.

Exactly, I remember my first Daily Deviation on a different account, there were no where near as many people as there are these days.
