Why I Love The Community

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 28, 2009, 6:26 PM


So I have really been enjoying being on DA more and more as of late
I mean I remember back when it was like only 10 favs per pic and the only comment I would get was from :iconfatart:
But like its amazing how things have changed
Now I have so many watchers that I truly call friends on here
Fatart, docblackjack, rambler, mistysuffer, zewhatcher, imsteelangel, jackthedemon, jeagerjack, ariel, joybug, and I can name em for a while
And it just amazes me
Like with the witchy pic people told me they really liked it
But on the newer one they were honest and told me the flaws
I really do appreciate it
I got into a bit of a tuff about critiquing a while back so it really makes me happy the way people come at me
I remember back on Yahoo Groups it was just a really cold time cause yeah people saw it but you got no feedback
And now I see how much artists have improved and went away
When I started Gouly and Biggie were the biggest names out and artists like
:iconxyxtlin:, :iconssakurai:, and :iconkastemel: were the artists that were on the rise
Now I look and I see SSakurai and Kastemel are legendary and xyxtlin is too even though he no longer draws.
And plus there are all sorts of new people taking charge like
:iconthepervertwithin: who if you havent watched him ...watch him now
He is amazing
Now I said I am doing my own thing but if there was ever one artist I wanted to keep up with it would be him
I concider it a challenge to get to his standards and he already knows
He is a great guy too
And then also I got people sending me all sorts of suggestions and compliments and all that just makes it fun to be in the DA FA community and I will continue to do my best to improve
And any suggestions of a drawing that you were thinking about one day and would like to see it
Just send me a NOTE about it

not in this order

my ambition is to enjoy life as much as possible
:iconjackthedemon:
I know how you feel. :icondr-black-jack: was like that for me when I first started up in the community. He was my first friend and I am happy to know he took a genuine interest in my work.

And I as I said the other day, its an honor to call you a friend...aw what the hell, group hug :hug:

:iconjoybug:
Thanks for the mention. I keep on forgetting that you've been on here for quite some time, but I must say, these past few years with you have been great. You've improved from a rather static drawing style to showing mastery of various techniques of artistry. The thing I probably like the most about you is that you still are making friends and up keeping relationships here, which makes me think you might stick around for while yet. You haven't let your ego override you, and are still open to criticism, which is a definite sign of an improving artist, because you can still improve, even if you're already one of the best. The fact that you still enjoy it here after all this time, well, it goes to show we've warmed up to you, and truely enjoy your presence among us.

Hey, the community feels the same way to you. I remember back before I got my own DA account and was just a watcher I thought you were a rising star, and now it looks like you're finally getting your name up there with the other big leaguers. Congrats.

And also I have to say that this is an awesome journal entry. So often we just see nothing but hating going on across DA, which is bad enough when it's just random posters, but when actual artist start bad mouthing one another it becomes really unfortunate. So seeing somebody spreading the love is truly something to applaud.

So my hat is off to you good sir, and keep up the good work.

:iconbblack2430:
yeah I have been here for a while and thanks for all the kind words but its people like you and the others I concider my friends is why I want to improve
And the fact that I no longer care what other artists say about me
I am a underground artist
I dont draw for popularity anymore
I draw cause it makes me and other people happy

:iconbblack2430:
Well I dont know if youve ever talked to anyone else on the list of people I named but they are all really good people to me
I mean I just want other people to know there is more to DA then drawings and stories about WG
Like I no longer really concider myself a rising star
I truly dont care the title that people give me
I draw because its fun
ANd if people like
Well hell yea I like it too
lol

A very smart response, like I said before art is all about enjoying yourself. And whenever I talk to the other people out there they are incredibly nice. It's the ones that don't talk and just brag that get on my nerves.
