well, got my Scanner up an running, it appears that by cleaning the Installation Disk, as well as dusting off the Disk Drive, was all that it needed >.>
so now I've been scanning up new Art Sketches lately.
I've been doing well at getting in to realism and away from Anime/Manga like Little kids do, because I mean I;m sure even the greatest Japanese Comic book-Artists didn't get to the position where they are now by drawing Naruto all day long, I mean I'm sure that they like to here and there.
I'm not so sure about other Art community sites but it seems to me that the Anime/Manga Category is taking over DeviantArt.
I know this is coming from and DeviantArt Deviant who's Fav's which consists of nothing BUT Anime/Manga, but seeing the front page of the DeviantArt and I see so much talent, creativity, it's clear just by glancing I dont have to even click on it..(well only to click n' drag into my Fav Folder which is an very useful nifty tool that Deviantart created ) but it seems to me that all this Anime/Manga stuff is well.... cliched, I mean I don't care, how many years the Deviant when to Art School and or College, or how flexible he or she is at using Imagemaniplation, it just isn't Art to me..NO let me rephrase that, IT IS Art, but lately I've been seeing too much Anime Art look no different that what the studio animated, you know?
An PERFECT example of what I mean by Anime Art Originality By Jaya- Sama ~(
[link] )
Her Perspective of Edward Elric
[link]see.
now I know Little about Jaya-Sama but know that she really isn't an fan of Anime as some of us obsessed Nerds are and Fangirls are like (( you know who you are..

)) in the devastation she stated that the piece started out as an scribble sketch in, but none the less it really came out well in my opinion,
an little constrictive criticism.. it's an Bit deformed ( as in like the proportions of the head and the body are messed up)
Also I like how she did the background as well, she didn't do an full on background just an half screen of one while adding in layers of her Imagemaniplation now in my opinion...That's Art.
I Adore even the inexperienced Artist. whom I'm I referring to you ask?
well some one who's rude, ignorant, and left Deviant Art and or canceled his or her account, could call these Artists Crappy Artists, now I "Crappy" is SUCH an harsh an rude word to use seeing as how all great Artistes have to start some where, and seeing the Bloom of there own Artwork is simply wonderful to see for me.
In fact for me, the Only Judging that I do on accounts that I do is on their Deviantart Icons,
so if I'm browsing on thought the DeviantArt Deviation Galleries and see, and Icon that looks Interestingly awesome, or is humorous, then clicking on their UserName or three Icon to view there Gallery is an must for me. ^~^
Back to the Artist with cliched ways...
what I stated to them can my misinterpret this by thinking that I'm insulting those Artists
cause some People on DeviantArt DONT even like and or even heard of Anime, yet some do it for Requested Commissions, or it could be an Artist who's studying on other Art Genres.
but none the less, it's almost...Depressing to me.. "Almost" is what i said!
just thought I trow that out in the open to the DeviantArt Community.
that's my option....
to some people who took the time to read this I could be dead wrong, or to others I could make an excellent point observation, but none the less I felt that I had to let this out of my system some how some way.
