Featuring faves - Volume XI

For my 11th feature, I decided that I wanted to put an emphasis on two artists, who moved me in the recent past. But I also don't want to neglect my other favourites. So here goes my featured faves:

Thanks for sharing your art guys! Much appreciated!

Featuring faves - Volume X

For my tenth feature, I decided that I would leave it up to you guys, to decide the art showcased. I din't really anticipate the result of that decision, but I'll get back to that.

Featured are:



Both suggestions are awesome pieces of art, and I took the opportunity to fave them both! Not because they were suggested, but because they are great works both of them.

Now, to address a far more serious topic. I have just short of 300 watchers. Two decided to promote art, that doesn't belong to themselves. Two. Swell.

I joined dA almost 8 years ago (the first two years under another nick). Back then, dA was all about supporting eachother in our efforts to become better artists. We were also interested in eachothers shoutouts, journals and rants, and we actually responded to them. Imagine that.

I issued a Journal, encouraging all of you to promote a fellow artist. Not yourself, but someone else. Less than one percent of my watchers found that offer attractive.

To be honest guys; that's simply majestically lame.

If we want dA to be an art COMMUNITY, we have to do better. Every time I place ten comments, I get one in return. But that is at least ten percent, and it's okay with me. But it's not less than one percent.

dA is not all about leaning back and think 'Hey, no wonder they faved my piece, cuz both it and I are awesome!'. It's also about giving back to those who gives. THAT is a community. Otherwise, dA will turn into a GALLERY. Nothing more. And I am sad to say, that I think dA is going down that drain.

Guys...prove me wrong please. I ask all of you, to create a Journal like the one I did. Urge your watchers to suggest a piece of art, made by someone else but themselves.

And most importantly, spread the word;

PROMOTE YOUR FELLOW ARTIST

Featuring faves - Volume X...almost

Update 21-01-12: I'm surprised that so few people wants to promote their favourite artists, friends and watchers. But okay - so be it. I think my Featured Vol. X journal will feature a word or two on that topic. I will issue that on Monday //Per

I am planning for my tenth feature journal, and I was thinking: 'I featured a lot of art that I love...I featured art of my beloved watchers... but I never featured art, loved by my beloved watchers'.

So here goes buddies!!!

I will feature your beloved pick of loved art. Here are the rules:

1. Must be a piece of art, NOT done by you
2. You cannot be the artist behind your suggestion
3. Featuring your own work is not allowed

Feel free to Note me if you are confused about the rules. As if...

So in other words; pick a piece of art that you love, from someone you love!

Any line of art is welcomed, but no porn please.

Place a link to your entry in your reply to this journal.

Featuring faves - Volume IX

Since I started doing manips (or photo-blending if you want), I have been browsing a lot of awesome work, done by you guys.
I think it's now time to place the spotlight on you and your works. So here goes a random selection from my favourites folder.
