jateshiNow, as a warning, this is a RANT about DeviantArt. I'm not happy with it and it's making me pissed.
There are many lovely and wonderful artists on DA. Hundreds - point in fact, thousands. And I don't have the time to browse every gallery and find them all and look at their gorgeous art. So I rely heavily on the DTF system of DA to get a peek at the artists.
Well, there's a problem. At least, can anyone else see a problem with the anime gallery? How about the fact that any time Psyconorikan or Messa upload a picture, it now makes a DTF? Kurot is the same way and Pu-sama's art makes DTF whenever she puts it up.
Even I'll admit that Kurot kicks painter butt, Pu-sama's OC (Open Canvas) artwork is gorgeous and Messa is skilled with Photoshop and whatever she uses. Psyconorikan is an artist I have a problem with (we'll not get into too many details for the public though) but she's handy with colored pencils.
So what, exactly, is my problem? How about the fact that no one else gets showcased? Pu deserves the notice and I'm really not all that troubled since she spends so much time on pictures they go up infrequently and are worth their weight in gold. Kurot doesn't upload too often and Kurot is a wonderful person.
But when the anime picture is a copy of a liscenced image, or a fanart of a character, why do they show it? The same day, I found some absolutely GORGEOUS images uploaded during the same time that got no notice. Why do Messa and Psyconorikan get so much notice?
Herm...new admins for the anime subcategory...new admins who watch them. New admins who aren't impartial.
DA, I expected to find artists there to oogle and admire, not people who, when I look at the image, I wonder HOW it even made the DTF category. You had a problem with anime and anthro DTFs before and the new system has made it even more fucked up.
To be honest, I'd love to say something about it to the admins but who am I? I'm a non-subscriber anime artist who has recorded gruff with one of the artists. I just hope that Psyconorikan's sock puppets (and lord, does she have them...) don't get wind of little ol' me and bitch here on me.
If they do...oh well. I've said my piece.
I'm redesigning ::FE:: and should have a new layout by the end of May. With the new layout will come a complete reorganization of what ::FE:: will contain. Old art galleries will not be put up and if you want to find some of my older art, let me know and I will point you to the locations where they are hosted, if at all. If they're not on the net and you *really* want to see them, tell me and I might stick them on DA or fanarts.net.
