Im not entirely sure what im guna say here... but oh well
We will see.

I just feel that.... i dunno
Some people seem to be using deviantart to confide in.. in lots of ways.

People seem to be painting or drawing etc pictures for deviant..
ignoring the fact that art should be done for yourself, and maybe close friends+family.
You might argue that you have friends over deviant, but really..you cant know someone until youve been physically with them. laughed with them and just been with them. You may know all there is to know about them, but the truth is you still dont know them.
From reading this and looking at some of my art you would probably think that im really bitter and down all the time. You shouldnt judge people before youve actually met them, and even then it shouldnt be done rashly.
People are displaying their art on the internet for anyone and everyone to view and analyse and criticise.
i dont know why i feel that this is possibly not good..
especially as ive done the same with some of my art.


Ok.. again
i think what i am trying to say is i think people shouldnt confide and divulge themselves in deviant.
and they shouldnt create art purely for deviant.


mm
small bitching rant over now
thanks for reading


xx

ps: if youre reading this and thinking i might be talking to you specifically about all of this, IM NOT. its just my general feeling towards deviant at the moment.

sam my good friend (havn't been on here for a while...) not ALL those words are mine, you kind of moulded them into a different shape (and a little better) i bow to your wisdom and words. And just so you know, you are very right. And since not going on devient i have painted far better than when i was on devient, because i do it because I want to, not because i think i should etc.. you already said that. And its suprising how opposite (now that i think about it) the kind of mood of your paintings portray to your overwhelming optimism.. (i over exagerate (jade if you ever read this Lestat, i think is taking over) sorry.. er.. me and jade have come to the conclusion i am a female version of Lestat the vampire!! what a compliment!! yes anyway im not saying your constantly happy or anything.. argg YOU know what i mean) yes, so im going to say goodbye now because this has already expanded far beyond my previous expectations of this comment! see you on wednesday xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

:icontedwill:
As i have only been on DA for two weeks I think you are right. We should do art for ourselves and should not 'produce' for the masses.
I will take you comment to heart as i feel you have the right idea. I have to admit two or three pieces were created for the masses and i currently working on one just for me and a few aquaintances.
I will try to do it for me.
Thanks for the timely warning.
:iconsamsamthedrummerman:
haha... ok..
you're welcome!
it was just how i was feeling at the time; but i still stick with the idea that art should be done for the artist, or perhaps friends/family. it should not be purely to show off!!

:icontrillium65:
You have wisdom beyond your years Sam! I feel exactly the same way as you. Sometimes we 'speak' to pple on this site and create specific art for this site only to generate more friends or hits. I personally know someone from this site and we have discussed this phenomenon at length.(face to face, not within the site) And I know that if I wanted nothing more than lip service I could post paintings of nudes or other popular subject matter. But I don't and probably never will. The one major thing that this site has helped me with is simply the courage to put my own creations out there for the world to see and to accept criticism and praise. I am now not as shy when pple actually come to my house to see my work. Sorry for the rant but you struck a cord with me. Cheers!

Thanks to Go-Baby-Go for the new avatar.
:iconsamsamthedrummerman:
Exactly! You've completely understood what i was trying to say with this!
and just like you said, that's one thing that this site has helped me in; being more open with my work.

People shouldn't do art for like..internet popularity
...which is so fake anyway
thanks for replying to this!
:)
