Talentless "artist" with tons of watchers
12 years ago
What is art? do we have a clear meaning of it? I consider it a form of expression that shows emotions, messages, interests in a visual form. One thing I love to see is when artists gain experience and their art gets better over time and I've seen many beginners get better slowly.
But there's one thing that really annoys me... the attention seekers with no talent. Recently I found a DA user who has little to no talent at all, other than talent for tracing, copying, recoloring, morphing and pretending she did all those pieces of "art"... I'm not saying who, but for those of you curious and might be able to point her out (please don't post usernames if you guess who this person is). This girl... or attention-seeker... has created a character with a certain fetish that a lot here might find interesting... suffice to say I believe this is a white fox kemono mimi. Not saying which fetish as it would be way too obvious after I mention it...
Now, what happens when someone like this posts "cute" journals and responses and shows some sort of attention to every user? she gets a lot of attention back... I wouldn't really be against this, in fact I'd be happy she tries to be social in her own way, but the fact that her gallery had such an amazing collection of morphed, recolored, edited pieces in there and she keeps getting all these watchers looking for something to drool over (not to mention the obvious use of fetish art) is what irks me.
Another thing is the bunch of commissions and art being made for her, even by artists I admire and artists I didn't know of.... just because she shows an interest in a fetish (I still doubt she is really this interested)... I'm surprised at how much her watchers admire her... only because she does this...
Why do these kind of people get so many watchers and fanboys or fangirls? in fact, without even going too far, just by looking at her gallery is easy to notice the way the art fluctuates... one piece is one style, another piece suddenly has a completely different style, then all of a sudden, edited piece, morphed and again, change of art style! such horrible inconsistency which proves she didn't draw it! come on! are people that blind!?
I'm done! go watch the talentless attention-seekers if that pleases you, just because they "like" your fetish and they will "perhaps" roleplay with you, I don't care at this point D:<
*goes back to artings and boob stuff* >_>

This girl, on the other hand, none of her art has any of this resemblance, every thing looks out of place... I forgot to mention most of her posts are reposts with a morph, not extra art on the piece like real artists, you or me, would. She has morphed pics...
damn! even the face of a pic was cropped and glued to the face of another piece!
granted, I was talking of a girl getting watchers for doing literally nothing but pretending she's cute... thanks
In fact, one type of head and face has been cropped and glued over bodies that don't like like it belongs there
just based on a textual explanation it's not easy to understand how it differs, and style can mean a lot, not just how you make it look, but also how you make it look that way, and the last of these will not normally change, even if you draw a different style, you can't just change how you work for everything you do.
asides from what she has posted, she has cropped parts of other pics to put in new pics... even a full head, there's a huge mismatch there... perhaps I could note you a link to the gallery >_>
as I do have a dA account I would like if you could note me a link, if anything to add said person to my ignore list.
I don't want to post a link to her gallery for obvious reasons but to any experienced artist, they will recognize immediately the lack of skill and all the re-edited pieces as well as all the style inconsistency... she's not experimenting, it is pretty clear once you see the page
I have seen recolors and I pretty much view tracers and bad tracers at that to be just as bad if not worse. Practice makes perfect some people just don't want to ever put the time into it.
Been admiring your art for so long and just watching you improve is awesome as much as I have been improving myself but you get better so much faster its very impressive. Kudos bro keep up the great work.
I might slow down a bit, kinda wore myself out lately :P
Thanks btw
You should always take a break you will need it or burn out is inevitable.
NP :3
is hilarious to be admired by the person you admire o.o the irony...
practice I say, it is all in the practice, I'm sure you can pull off something awesome if you set yourself to it >:3
I know the irony or you have someone watch you and not say much at all unless it is note worthy and you find out they are a very epic artist.
I set myself all the time to do it pushing as much as I can before It goes digital on me which I don't really want.
THE FACT THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE A MARKETABLE PRODUCT OUT OF IT ALL DRIVES ME INSANE, AND I WISH I COULD FIND THE RAWS OF THOSE 'ARTS' SO I COULD EXPOSE THEM TO THE REAL ARTIST.
AAAARGH I'M 100% BEHIND YOU.
I've done a search for the raw arts too without any luck at all. Image search engines keep failing me
There is something else I'd like to say, but can't for a few obvious reasons.
quite sad so many people let themselves get entangled in the cutie talks thinking in their delusional brain they will get something to hump >_>
Was this person, by chance, someone who recently received a three-part expansion series of their character from a certain well-known artist in the community on dA? (...c'mon, that person, are you blind? D: )
To be honest, I get really bothered every time I browse that person's page.
I saw a picture and was like "...I know this picture! That's a picture of Viletta Nu! I LOVE that artist's work, and you are NOT that artist! D:" *MIGHT be kind of a porn connoisseur*. I half wanted to say it, but the other half is "...Eh, it'll just stir drama and I don't feel like making enemies right now =w=;"
The only original stuff in the gallery is the fan art of the character D:
The only thing I can give that person credit for is that that one obviously stolen set early on with a girl with a silver-haired hime cut might have somehow inspired a much more original character that I created (but have yet to draw) ^^;.
...I sort of want to build an extensive case and then link said case to all of that person's "supporters", to see if they still support her after they find out what's really going on o__o;
if you happen to build a report I could probably help... also, give me those links
I can relate to this in a musical sense 100%. You see how artists can copy+paste, photoshop, crop, etc... in the music world we have that as well. It comes down to different types in the music sense:
1. Resynthers- basically take a midi file, slap in in a program and add sounds to each channel. Takes zero talent
2. Mixup- takes a few songs and just blends them together. Takes some talent, but your just taking two songs already done and playing them back in a pattern.
3. Re-singers - takes some talent to sing, but if you have done nothing to make the song truly yours and you sing it exactly like it was written, then its the same song... not yours so please dont call it a cover
I have no idea of who your talking about, but reading your vent really made me pissy too because i find the same crap in the music side. But the whole FA thing is a popularity contest, and those with more friends get away with more crap. I quit one of the few music pages because the spotlights they have are all from the friends of the admins and from the admins themselves, and they said the whole goal is to introduce new artists... which they NEVER DO.
Your art is always awesome. Keep it up! There are others just as peeved as you so keep fighting the good fight!!
I'm trying to make people aware of this... FA, I wouldn't care as much, traces, copies and bad photoshop is called out fast here at least... but DA? F that.
our FA has its flaws... tons actually... but we do get some sort of response and rules are better enforced than DA's strictly commercial purpose. I wanna find the original pieces and show to the DA admins so this "artist" gets what she deserves... hell, someone with a subscription to DA that has lasted so long, has a much better chance to be heard
this was more of a vent. I ignored this matter for a long long long time. It finally exploded the moment I found out an artist I admire did art for her :(.
And she is still getting donations for an alleged game... pretty sure what she's doing is really wrong... just hoping she will get bit back by her own actions >.>
also, I love your art o.o
Well, maybe it can't be helped?
That being said, the real question that interest me is,
do you think you should get more attention than you currently get? More attention from that artist you like a lot?
It happens that the fans are also giving donations to the talentless one. Is not that it got to bother me all of a sudden, I held it inside me but I really had to let it out when one of my favorites decided to art for her.... simple enough
