Ok, I really am not the type to battle it out and stuff but I think I need to put my foot down on where I stand on this new system.

Personally, I love it. Thank you DA for actually listening to your community of artists! For showing that you don't have to a cookie cutter artist and actually be featured on the front page! For not narrowing down the possibilities that an artist can be well… an artist! I LOVE YOU!

Ok, so in the beginning of this the front page was kind of wacky and what was showing up was technically a bunch of garbage but now that the foundation is starting to settle we are actually seeing what the Utopia of this system is trying to be. Yes, there is still a lot of fan art, yes there are some categories that are making you raise an eyebrow, but the thing that I love about it is that it is not limited!

There are photographs, poetry, digital works, comics, and omg real paintings!! And not all of it is crappy either, there’s a lot of stuff that is refreshing and new and just… just beautiful!

What makes laugh is that the overused, over dramatic, commercialized artists are the ones making the loudest noise about the "unfairness" of this system! I want to laugh so very hard right now because of the irony of this. XD They are complaining that they have to start over and reach a new goal! HA HA HA! Finally! You got it through your brain that there is no such thing as reaching a plateau of art talent; you need to grow and get better! Hopefully this will force them in that direction because honestly some of them really need to do so. If they are not grabbing the attention of all their watchers then that means that their works really aren't as "great" as they thought they were!

True that every section is not exactly putting up something great in the front but it's significantly less than what REALLY is up there! Plus in the long run there is the possibility of something GREAT actually appearing there! Finally, you don't have to worry about the fact that you're competing with a category that has nothing to do with yours in the first place!

I really... I really just don't know what to say because part of me in euphoric the other part is dying of laughter at the complaints. XD DA pretty much just shoved a bit of humble pie to a lot of artists and this makes me eager to get better. I want to capture everyone's attention that watches me. I want them all to like what I do enough to make them press that little button , because inevitably that is our goal right?
