Welcome to my world
here you'll find...well let's face it you won't find much of anything, not many people pay attention to these places do they? lol
anyways, what you might find here are various thought from myself on random stuff...and also maybe some notices when I intend to change something, etc.
...yep that's about it, it's you'd still like to lurk look about, feel free.
dang...taking a lot to vent this, I got a bunch of my art Jacked (a.k.a. STOLEN ) on deviantART...so freakin pissed off, it's taking every fiber of my being to not go a verbally rip the offender a new one...but my rational side knows that really that will solve nothing and I believe can actually get ME reported.
they even claimed my Misha (a.k.a. Lance) as their own! D< THATS. MY. BABY. !!! lol
not to mention they took a picture I drew for a friend of HER OC.
I'm really antsy for a response to all the reports I filed (reported the entire gallery because it's ALL my work) but I know with such a huge sight that gets so many similar reports in a day, it could take a while to see any action >( *sits and steams*
Dude...I just noticed something...this site seems pretty dead for the last month or so, I also noticed that they're "fanart" section is kind of unfair.
click on it, and it shows you automatically, a category of submissions from the past 24 hours - however, it is the category the show that I think is unfair.
They you pictures not in order of submission so EVERYONE, no matter their ability or choice of character or whatnot, has a chance at some decent exposure, but only the most "Active" in other words, the most "popular". I wouldn't have a problem if it was from really good artists, and yes a lot of them are, that's good, perhaps they're actually popular for the right reasons, not simply because they're from a popular series.
but I noticed when I did sort them to freshness, there's a whole ton of submissions that don't show up, and therefore never get any exposure hardly at all. My own latest submissions were among these, so because they aren't popular or I myself am not popular, I don't get feedback, the same story for a lot of people in that sorting. it pisses me off. yes, they have the little drop box that you can click to sort to freshness and see them, but my experience is that people skim pages, and generally, I really am not confident that most will BOTHER to do this, and still worse, is that those drop boxes aren't very obvious I think, they're pretty easy to pass up.
also, on the front page, when they show fanart, once again, only the most popular shows up, this is too much, and I don't know about you, but I think there need to be some changes.
My suggestion would be that, fine, the most popular can stay on the front page, I understand that a lot of those are really, truly good pieces of art, and therefore, make a good first impression to visitors and prospective members - BUT, I think that the default should be reversed on the Fanart main page, I think that initially, you should automatically be shown the submissions in the order of submission. then if you want to see most popular, let them then go to the drop boxes and resort them to "most active". I think this would give a more fair balance of activity and less people would get passed up.
