I feel that everyone should read this:
[link] whether you agree or not... read it to the read and read some of the comments as well. And, if you do agree... I strongly suggest pasting a link in your journal.
Its very depressing to think that fan art is all people go after. I personally have very little fan art. I only have one in my gallery, ONE. Any other fanart is in scaprs or not posted. And the only reason that one picture is up there is because I'm very proud of it.
I have known about the whole fan art thing for awhile... You can see signs of it everywhere. I'm ashamed to admit that the reason I have my icon as what it is is because I wanted some more viewers. I had even considered drawing more fan art... but also ran back to my original characters. I love them too much. they're a part of me... my (much) better half, if you ask me. Fan art is fine, but it sgould not rule your gallery. The characters are someone elses and spent a long time creating. I feel so much more respect for those who make their own characters and draw them over fan art. I rather see some "okay" art of original characters than super-amazing fan art. Because, if you think about it... the OC would've taken much more work, seeing as how you have to design the charaacter and their personality.
So, to all that read this, thank you! Please go read my friends journal (
[link] ) and post it in your journal. This is something that needs to be spread around and its up to us, the users, to make dA the amazing place it once was, even better.
And so, my final message: go out there and make up an original character, give them a story, and love them to death!
