I'm sick of seeing it!

Journal Entry: Sun May 11, 2008, 2:49 AM
I'm beyond tired of seeing everyone's cute little snapshots of their kittens and cats. :pissedoff: I mean, are these people serious? Do they really think taking a million quick snaps of their cat sitting on a chair, laying on the patio, looking at the camera, or sleeping in a corner is art they really put their complete and total efforts into?
Sure, there are plenty of wonderful photographs of cats on deviantart, with great composition, lighting, pose, etc... but for every one that looks even half artistic, there's about twenty others that belong solely in a family photo-album or on a cellphone.
I understand that a lot of peeps are just glad to have a network upload all their cute little disposable camera-shots of whatever on so that the whole world can see how totally awesome and yet mediocre their lives are, but when these photos make it into the daily features or most popular section, I get really ticked.
Now I don't have much room to critique photography, as it's not my strong point, but I can tell when someone has taken the time to focus the lense and choose the correct angle to shoot from instead of just happening to be laying on the carpet next to a napping puss and randomly stick a camera in their face. There are a lot of people on this site with absolutely wonderful artwork of all mediums that I know put their heart into to create, of which usually no attention is paid to. :fork:
It's sickening.
Here's what I say to all those out there who just upload any and everything they have available: if you're artwork doesn't tell the audience something more than you have a super-duper cute kitty and for some reason everyone in this art community must know about this astounding fact, don't bother posting it. I'll take your word for it and assume, thank you very much.


Man, I'm not usually so critical, but this is getting really tiresome. And it's not just snapshots of cats either - they just seem to be the majority. This is an art society, NOT a private blog. We're all subject to each other's crap and masterpieces respectfully, but stop pushing the boundaries. And I don't really care if anyone agrees with me or not.


In a lighter note, commissions are still OPEN, so here are the guidelines again:


(This is highly tentative - the prices can fluctuate very much depending upon the request)

Sketch ~ $10-$15
Non-coloured/ Line art ~ $20-$30
Coloured/ Completed ~ $25-$40*
Extra Characters (two characters are automatically included in the price, so extra characters constitute as the third character and beyond) ~ $5 each

*This has quite a large price range, I know. The price depends if the focus is characters, environment, etc...
