Faves and comments

~elmagonia:iconelmagonia: reports, 2d 20h 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.

Texturegasm #13

`pendlestock:iconpendlestock: reports, December 11, 2008
Tis the season to be wintry, so wrap up warm, start up photoshop and get stuck into these eyegasmic textures :#1:

Basic and Plain



Those essential textures that are the unsung heroes of the digital art world.


Grunge and Distressed



Make your art darker and more delicious with these beaten up bad boys!


Patterned



Great for adding whimsy to your backgrounds or detail to cloth.


Colours and Gradients



Use as colour filters over your photography or digital art.


Surface Textures



For realistic textures in digital 3D or mix in with grunge for fantastic abstract work.


Light Effects



Set on Overlay for instant atmosphere.


Enjoy :iconpope-fap:

Thank you for all these textures.

I'd like to say something and I think I'll make a short article.

If the stock artists do not mark their name clearly on each item, once it is downloaded and stored in a folder there is no way of tracing it back, to show and link back to an eventual picture.
I've had this problem several times. Unknown stock!

It's a shame.
