Progress, Or A Lack Thereof

Progress, or a lack thereof

I just browsed through deviantart. I haven't been on thst site in over a year, and it's been even longer since I've looked at other people's galleries (I'm too afraid to tackle the hundreds of thousands of pictures waiting in my subscription folders...). There's some truly horrible shit there. I'm not talking about fetish art- I've been online too long for that to bother me. No, I mean, just bad art. Poorly drawn shit that looks like it was created by a blind toddler having a seizure. I get that everyone has to start somewhere, but do these people REALLY think every single thing they shit out is such a masterpiece that it should be shared with the world? And that's just the teenagers I'm talking about, the new artists who will look back on their gallery and say, "what the fuck was wrong with me...?" The adults, on the other hand... there are people who have been on that site for nearing a decade, and their art somehow looks WORSE than when they first joined. If you've been drawing for ten damn years, and you haven't improved one iota, then you are a bad person and should be ashamed of yourself. And the people praising you so your speshul snowflake feelings don't get hurt are even worse. Just stop. Draw for fun, but don't post it online. You might enjoy art, but it clearly does not enjoy you.

Heard that tumblr's about quantity, not quality, so have an old, Disney-style picture of Flora I drew before my tablet died.

The leaked summer banner in Heroes has me salty. I mean, Frederick's hot, but it's just not the same. So I fixed it. Here's Summer Scramble Gunther. A sword user who fights with an inflatable shark pool toy, because that's better than a fucking bag of shells...

People should probably learn the difference between “plot holes” and “things I didn’t like” or “things the franchise plans to explain in the future” or “things film makers didn’t think they needed to explicitly explain because they thought you had critical thinking skills”

A semi-complete cover illustration for the Nohr branch of my fanfic. Don't know how the hell I'm gonna scan this...
