NEWS : April 2nd
I would like to express my general disappointment with some of the people I watch. Artists who shall remain unnamed, who have amazing skill and potential, but who have a tendency of drawing the same thing for every picture, using the same elements, the same poses, not really showing any desire to improve their work. Formulaic, boring, repetitive "art" defines what these people have done in the year or so that I've been watching them.
I've unwatched 2 people today. I wouldn't be sorry if I never saw another work by them again. And that's really sad. I love seeing new art. It inspires me like nothing else.
Neither of these two people watch me, so I doubt they will read this entry... this entry is really for those of you who DO watch me... two questions:
1. Does my work ever strike you as repetitive? (dear god, I hope not)
2. Have you had similar experience to mine, where you're just so underwhelmed with what lackluster stuff some artists have been producing despite their amazing skill and potential?

I've started posting WIPs and sketches in my LiveJournal.
The link is this:
[link]It's not friends-only, it's not discriminative, it doesn't promise anything. It's just a blog for finished art, with some sketches in between.
My current painting I don't have any scans of because the work is too light to show up on a scanner properly. When I've made enough progress to pass the scanner receptivity threshold, I'll post a wip in my lj.

2. Yes, unfortunately. (Mostly about myself, minus the potential part, but hey, I'm just an amateur.) I understand what you're saying. As a result, my "watching" list is always undergoing evolution.
2. I have seen it happen before yes. The thing I can more commonly relate to is watching someone for a certain aspect of their art and then they deviate in another direction that is totally blah and boring and it's like wtf why am i watching u?
Uhhh...well, I hope I'm not on that list of people. And if I start to go that way, you have full permission to slap me back into my place.
2. Yes, I've had that feeling before. It always bugs me to see people who obviously have a lot of talent but always use the Same. Generic. Anime. Style. I could probably look at a random piece of art from anyone in my watch list and be able to tell who did it, but these generic anime people are totally indistinguishable.

"That was my EGG, you bastard!"
But then the way the economy is now I also don't feel like working my butt off for paintings that might not sell for much.

Obviously not you because, um, Im here and in general its not people that do traditional art. I wonder why that is!
And even if the pose is slightly similar, if the background, outfit, theme, color scheme are all different it doesnt even necessarily register on me.

2. Yeah, I don't watch a lot of people because I don't see anything that blows me away whether it's talent, composition, etc. For me, I watch people that when I look at their art I think, 'Wow! I wish I could be that good!' You're one of the few who made that list. ^^
