Description
If you get offended by this. Fine. I don't care. Unwatch me, unfavorite my work. Go right ahead. I won't mind. Just hear me out.I'm not one to judge, so I'm not going to be pointing any fingers. Have any of you guys just stopped and looked at some of the submitted base work? I have. It's pathetic. Really. It is. Do you guys see how much time the left took me? That's sad. That's really, really sad. What about the right, huh?
I'm very upset with people. Can I use the word abuse here or not? I'm not sure. Still, I'm not going to lie. I may have not used this certain base before, but, before my "incredible" and "beautiful" pieces came out this year, I was just like you guys. My work was purely shit.
Shit.
Examples o' shit: [link] [link] [link] [link]
But that's just me, back in the beginning of 2011. You know what I guys did to get better and where I am today (emphasis on right doll)? I practiced. I found detailed tutorials. I experimented with colors, that may look bad now. But trust me, their going to be your friends soon enough. And another thing I do? I ask people. I have the nuts to go up to people and ask for their help.
Now, I know what you guys are going to do now. You're going to comment below on how stupid and how fucking wrong I'm being. Well, like it or not, I'm right in the end. And, I know. You're not going to become an amazing dolling artist in one night. It's going to take some time. Look at me now. It's been a year for me. More than a year, in fact. Look how I've imporved. But don't just take my word for it. Go explore the world, folks. Get involved in groups, make some friends here, ask people for advice every now and then.
I hope I didn't waste your time with my rant. ~m4

I think we should submit bases with no hair for a while and see what people do 'bout it

You, good sir, have a point.
Yeah, some of the submitted base work is pathetic, the bases I have are sometimes abused, poor things. =C

Uh, good lady. Jk lol XD

Like a madam then.
I can honestly say there are some good ones, but most of them don't even try. Just this week in fact I changed my base's skin tones(to various rainbows colors)so people wont use the one provided. Seriously, there was a lot of that. Personalize damn it.

Yeah, I've been considering that ranbow idea, since I put actual realistic skin tones and hair colors on them. My latest base, however, is a little different. I made the hair purpley, so maybe users will change the color. Ikd, we'll just have to hope and see (:

OMG lyke im gunna go unwatch u & unfav ur picz.
jk.
Anyways, I get where your coming from. I mean, I still personally think mine are crappy, but I am trying~ That's the thing. I mean, I've seen worse. Like, really really worse. As in, people just color the skin and don't even edit the colors or nothing /big pet peeve
I mean, when I first started out here on dA, I drew my own art. (Which I hate now~ js.) But when I got into bases, I at least had the decency to actually try and outline clothes. Though, it did look like crap.
Either way, I don't think anyone should be upset with this rant.

XD lol
Trust me, your work is far better that what I've been lookin at these days. I'm still trying to figure out why some people actuall favorite when it is utter shit. But, don't worry. I mean, I'm sill learning myself. Who says someting's good or bad anyway? Sigh..
You have gret sutff, girlie~~
Alright, thanks (:

Liiiies.
I actually found out that my most looked at piece of art was some weird as picture I did a year or two ago. I was like, really, really surprised. o3o

Ikr? I look through my stuff all the time and its the least expected thing you find to have the most views/favs/downloads/etc. I never expected my Another Fairytale series to have so many favs and views.

PFFFT.
That was what actually got me to watch you X3
It was a really good story~
If you actually click on your statistics on your profile, then click on the button that says "More Statistics" it'll show you the most popular pictures and stuff on there~

Oh yeah! I totally forgot for a sec
I'm sooo observant XD
I do that a lot when I get bored. I want to see if I'm getting less or more popular. Popularity is an important thing to me, personally.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I recently found out that was there XD
I already know I'm not that popular. o3o I don't really mind xD
I'm just glad random people watch me at times XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol. I knew that a long time ago. Pfft, and you've been here longer than meh. But I'll give you credit, I'm still learning a lot of things on here too
Well, you should be. Your people skills are amazing. You'd be the best friend a person can have on here (:
//I know the feeling. Makes you feel..loved~~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh, I never really paid attention to my stats xD
Aww ;u; /loved
Though, sometimes it's a little scary xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You should. It gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling that people actually do like my art and are liking it. I had 66 pageviews one day. I almost died /for realsss\
You should me~~
Gotta point there. When I first joined dA, there was this guy who watched me and he just looked weird from his picture. I think he still watches me, but for out of pity :,(
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eeeh. I only like it when I get comments on my picture XD Makes me feel loved~
Like the other day, one of my old pictures got faved~~ Nearly died~
/latches
Aw :c
I think half of my watchers are my friends XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I prefer comments than favs myself. But who doesn't really? I would like to know how good a piece is rather than a simple fav. Wtf.
Ik, Ik..
Some of my old work gets faved too. The really crappy, first time base work. I cried, it was really, really sad.
//lathces harder
A third are my friends..I somehow manage to get people to like my art.
It's weird..lol
