It's hard for me to comment, partly because all my reactions are initially emotional and so it then takes me time to sit down and properly untangle just what it is that makes me want to click that button. It's a big part of the reason I kind of dislike those badges that say "Comment before you fav" *shrug* I can understand at the same time though why so many artists want to get a comment along with a since I get so few myself and I would love more feedback, and not just the "Wow this is amazing" kind of feedback too. Actually I'd rather get "You need to improve ___ and here's why" comments to be honest. I think it's why I try to find something to crit when I do comment on work, not because I'm a critical person but because I'd hope that someone would let me know what isn't working along with what is.

wow...sorry about the rant. It kind of got away on me a bit there. Sorry.


It really can be hard to tell with some of the software but I think that's what is amazing about it. I hate how some people look down on digital art because I imagine that just as muchy goes into it as with any other kind of media. I think at some point I thought about trying to write a paper or article on it. I'd like to write somethign academic now that I have my degree but it's soooo hard to figure out what to write and where to start. At least with school they give you an outline and an idea where to start. I thought it coudl be interesting but I'd have to figure out what has and hasn't been discussed first. I don't doubt that articles on digital art have been written.


Wow...thank you so much. You dont' know what it means to me for you to say something like that about my writing. I am terribly self-conscious and unsure about my writing. I'm convinced most of the time that my stuff is too character driven and I spend too much time on the inner journey rather than action. I personally enjoy reading stories with character driven plots and find it more interesting if a character grows and changes drastically during the course of it whether or not there is any real action in the story but still I often wonder if anyonen would find my work compelling. I am also convinced that the rest of what I write is mostly drivel. What I have posted here at DA is what I am either proud of or am convinced has potential and would like advice on.

So thank you so very much for saying that. It gives me quite a boost. I hope that you are right that there are others who feel the same.

Wow this ended up being much longer than I intended. I got carried away. I will take my leave but I do hope to hear from you again.
