I have notice a new type of art work here on the DA. I call it "serial art" because it just looks the same, the concept is the same and the stock that is used is the same. I know half of the DA comunity will hate me for this article but i have to draw awareness on this situation.
What causes this "serial art" or clishees? Well practicly other members in the comunity. They are not to blame for this. They just express their vision and if their vision is well recieved by other artists the number of people sharring this vision will grow instantly.Unfortunetly that is just the way a comunity works. The most popular artist are trend setters and the least experienced once are trend followers. I guess thats why these DA members are popular. They can break away from the "daily fashion" and impliment another vision, a totally different one from the others.
"Serial art" is also incoraged by tutorials. Many artist submit tutorials on their works and not general skills ,which eventually leads to copycat art.
Can we stop this? I honestly don't know. I guess it is up to the will of each individual to decided if he wants to be a trend setter or not. What i can say is that we should be careful what we post when it comes to tutorials and other such guidelines.

DA's biggest clishes of the moment:

The gothis skirt
I am sure everybody knows what skirt i'm talking about. A while back =Falln-Stock posted a series of dress stock. Well , the skirt of that dress is now the mark of gothic or dark art. I don't know who started the trend because it was already rolling when i came to the DA



and here is what came out in time:

Now lets stop and look at these images. They are beautiful. But can you really apreciate them after seing that skirt so many times?

The room
Everybbody has seen at least one deviation with a room in it. But it isn't any room ...it is a room made out of a single picture. Not sure when but i know that this trend was started by =Lady-Dementia. She also posted a tutorial on how these images are made and before you knew it over night everybody was doing "room art"


The microshot flower




These are just samples of the many type of serial art i have found on DA. No idea what should be done except make people aware of the situation.
I appologise to those whoes art i have used to prouve my point.
