Animal Guides Contest: NEW DEADLINE.

Faves and comments

~elmagonia:iconelmagonia: reports, 3h 21m ago
Personally, I appreciate them both.
But to be quite honest, faves are more important
(to an artist or writer themselve)

Hm, why is that?
Comments, yeah.
Everyone wants them.
ALL the time. No matter what. I've had a few times where I made nagging journals, constantly asking and begging people to comment my work no matter what. I didn't care if they had the time or not. I didn't care if they had a life or not.
I.
didn't.
care.

So, since I've seen (a few, actually a lot of) people get a bit overwhelmed only because some deviation that they worked on for hours on end doesn't get the needed amount of comments. But it has about over 30 or 40 faves. So what? I'd be honored to have one of my own deviations with that many faves. Wanna know why?

Because if half of you haven't realized by now, faves CAN get you noticed. Basically, it's like a dieses or a chain letter. It spreads.
One deviant faves it, others see it and they fave it as well. Possibly a few might even comment it. But that depends on who they are in general. I've had a few of my deviations faved by people I haven't even heard of, and still I get them all the time.

Unlike comments, they just give you more and more views. Nothing really special. Sure, you might get a few "oh that's awesome" or "that is so frappin' unique!" or whatever.

Well what if I wanted both comment AND faves, what do I do?
What do you do?
Give in return.
If YOU want faves or comments, you're gonna' have to comment AND fave other deviations, and just like the subject before. You can get noticed. But it depends on the deviation. Though, of course, if you're one of those people who instantly want to get noticed. Then good luck. It's not gonna take you 15 or 20 deviations to reach up to about 5,000 or possibly 10,000 pageviews. But that is totally off topic. Maybe if I have time (or if i even want to) I'll probably do another news letter.

Dive into the 3D stocks World!

`Princess-of-Shadows:iconPrincess-of-Shadows: reports, August 28, 2008
Some time ago while I was browsing, not only for digital resources but for inspiration, I ended up venturing myself through the world of 3D stock photos and you know what? I loved it!

I can't believe so many artists dedicate their efforts and time to create authentic works of art for us to USE freely! In the world of 3D stocks [ most of it unknown to the photomanipulators ] you can find truly inspiring fantasy and surreal elements that could never be captured by a regular camera. And the best part is that most of them come in a transparent background, so we can simply click and drag onto our work. How fun, fast and easy is that?

So today I wanted to share with you only a small part of these resources, because there are so many more I'm sure you will love!

:postit: Objects and precious details







:postit: Delicious Backgrounds








:postit: Beautiful models

:iconlord-markus:
yeah, exactly! i used often 3d-stocks in the past because they were awesome :nod:

they are fast to use and easy to put on a picture.

sometimes there is just the problem that the skin of the generated models is too clean or the reflection of the light is metallic, but that should not be a problem to change that :P

but hell yes, really nice that you found and featured them here :thumbsup:
