I totally agree. It drives me crazy too. But I guess that's what we have to deal with on a site like this if we want to be members...

_{Keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my shit. - Erykah Badu.}

I'd love to agree with you, but lately I've been on an anti-elitism kick.

See, I'm an elitist. I've been using Maya for years professionally, and am Grand Master level with Photoshop. I have two extremely wicked workstations, one of them conveniently in my home, and cackle obscenely at anyone who owns anything Intel, much less one of those paltry "Macs".

But really, the egomania (mine, not yours...) isn't necessary and it doesn't help anyone. I too scorn all those people (especially at Poserosity!) who blindly say everything's great. But it's all a support mechanism; we feed our arrogance, they feed their own in their own ways.

My first instinct though was to point out that you use Poser and Vue... (grins) So, keep in mind when you're bashing others that there are many people out there who would consider using Poser MAKES you a poser. There's always another side, you know?

And really, it shouldn't matter. You make awesome art, and if people disagree, that's what opinions are all about. Just keep making it, my friend. Oh, and quit using Poser soon? (grins at you!)

(For the record... I'd use Vue more myself, but it's just too unstable for the kinds of scenes I make. I thought it was just 6, and waited for 6.5. Then I waited for 7 to "get it right". Now that 7.5's out and it still doesn't work, I'm just doing everything that Vue could do anyway in Maya, and then some. It just takes a lot longer to set up...)

My point being, there's always someone "better" out there. And if those people making crappy art getting great comments and thousands of views think art is a popularity game, well... Look at their paychecks. I guarantee mine are bigger!

looking for a spark of inspiration, get Lit *VisualLit

Hmm, well I submitted a lot of crappy art in my first year here that I genuinly thought was good at the time and couldn't comprehend why it wasn't getting hundreds of faves the worst of which was either deleted a long time ago or moved to scraps

Something tells me your'e referring to generic anime and "cartoony" stuff...for the most part I agree some artists get too much attention for something I could easily do, but there's a few here that do make that stuff and put an original twist to their style or subjects, and often they'll rise just above the others in popularity anyway, that I don't mind. But yeah - the others get it too easy here...they get dozens of commissions a week whilist I get that many in a year

*priteeboy - proud founder of ~The Worst Artists on dA club! - take a look, have a laugh

I completely agree. Trust me I'm thinking about this a lot lately, and it's really annoying. Not that I'm a "professional" Vue artist or anything, I'm not a pro and I haven't even had the courage to talk about this openly, but even after this short time of experience, I can see the difference between good-quali works, works with minor faults and let's say it out, craps.
As I noticed, there must be something about the years behind the scenes; there are some people who are here for 5-6 years, and this time was enough for them to collect a crapload of watchers, and knowing dA, a lot of them might haven't even seen good artwork, so they can't compare
A lot of times it feels that people don't rate the artwork, but the artist. And they get positive comments because they "got used to it". ...but it's irritating to see that someone gets a bunch of faves and comments on a completely default work they made in 10 minutes (okay, not sure I'm always right in this), and I work on a scene for hours, I'm trying to pay attention to details and trying to make it as good as possible, still I don't see that "result" I expect...
And yes, "ass licking" is very common here

Yeah I agree, even though I usually just sit in my corner here on DA and keep doing my own thing.
