10+3 Things
Journal Entry: Sun May 11, 2008, 12:22 PM
Stolen from ShichininSlasher~:
Write 10 things you hate about artists on DeviantArt (but please don't name a specific artist, I don't wanna get in trouble), then write 3 things you like. Then, tag 2 other people via note to do the same.
BONUS: Send a link of the journal entry back to the person who tagged you.
(Before I go into this, please respect my opinions and try not to argue with me. I'm letting off steam here in a few responses. I'm not a mean, heartless bitch! ;-; Honest!)
10 Things I Hate:
1. The abundance of nude female photography. There are some really nice works, but a lot of it is so overdone and I think it's just an excuse for amateurs to photograph a naked woman. We're well aware the human body is a work of art: maybe try something different than making it your only subject matter? The best photographers can have that AND other types of photos.
2. Artists who don't know the difference between constructive criticism and flaming. (I agree with Shichi) Usually if the words 'hate' or any other negative-sounding word come into play, you're flaming, and therefore you are not awesome. (Sorry, but it's true. There are too many unkind people.)
3. Notebook paper sketches that aren't cleaned up. It's funny at times, but some people upload NOTHING but it. Unlined computer paper isn't that expensive, and if you do all your art during a class, then I hope you're getting A's because chances are you aren't paying attention. It will only hurt you down the road.
4. Artists who ask for criticism, but don't know how to take it. A lot of high schoolers get crushed when they receive a critique. They think it's a flame, but it isn't. A critique helps zero in on your problem spot and usually provides suggestions on how to improve. Also remember that you can take a critique with a grain of salt and just ignore it; some artists who critique have no clue what they're talking about and just wish to look cool. Uusally in college you will learn how to properly critique an artist, so look forward to it! :3
5. Artists with more journal entries than artworks. This is more over at FA, but I watch a person mostly for the art. I like dA because I can choose not to get journal updates from people I don't know.
6. Art thieves. Plain and simple. It's bad. Don't do it. You'll look like a foolishly foolish fool. XD
7. Artists that only do headshots. If your specialization is portraits, then fine...but a lot of people focus too much on the face. Try to think of the pose, rather than the expression. You'll find it helps!
8. Artists who CAN'T TYPE. SPELLING AND GRAMMAR, PEOPLE! I can't stress this enough. The marketing people I work with type their work...THEIR WORK THAT KEEPS MOST FROM BEING FIRED...in chatspeak, no spell check. It's ATROCIOUS. And I have to decode it. So please, study your spelling and grammar, use spell check, remember that 'u' is a letter and not a complete word, and you will be more liked.
9. Artists who think they're gods because of popularity.
10. Popular artists who take advantage of people. There are some out there, and it irks me to no end.
3 Things I Like:
1. Watching artists with more skill than I. It gives me something to shoot for!
2. Artists who are friendly and outgoing.
3. My friends' galleries! dA makes it so nice to keep tabs on all my friends' work.
I tag anyone who would like to do this. It's fun!

I can face down rampaging animals and psychopaths with rocket launchers. But there is no way that I can face down a hoard of yaoi fangirls who have discovered a yaoi implication in a manga.
