um... wow.
I leave theotaku for a while then AS SOON as I come back a huge debate on Fancharacters is up, I vote cause I thought the idea itself was silly, and also would kill what LITTLE comments, critique, or views I get now...
Turns out 75% of theotaku voted for the fancharacter category, and I hate it for SEVERAL reasons.
1) Like I said before, with little critique and attention I get out of this place before the fan-character category, I might as well not even BE here, as I'm an artist who WANTS to improve, and even my deviantart account has been lacking in the comment/critique department.
2) From what I saw in the poll comments MOST of the people for a sub-category for the fancharacters just wanted it so they could look at a category they wanted without any OC's. this is still no good seeing as how crossovers, A fancharacter with an officail character, still go into the respective Official character anime, therefore, the intolerant are STILL not satisfied. Also, with most of the fancharacters out of the way, that means they get to look at several dozen of the same screenshot in pencil form and are somehow more happy with that then a little bit of originality. Those people won't visit the fancharacter section, which will cut views down by a probable 75%.
3) Original artists, both fan-character and original, barely get enough critique/attention as it is. The only way you get any critique is if you're AMAZING. I'm not amazing, and therefore, I'm dragging my feet here at this site.
4) I feel slightly discriminated against seeing as how I LOVE the anime's, but like to be a bit more original than drawing the same poses that everyone else does, and so on. Call my OC's mary-sues if you want, I don't care. I did alot to keep them from that state, with flaws and not even any love interest in the anime itself. But whatever.
If this continues, I think Adam should just delete the OC category and original anime category cause 75% of theotaku doesn't care about it.
I'll stick with deviantart, thanks. I doubt I'll even update here anymore except for my art to protect it from being stolen, because this place is HORRIBLE for art theives. I've lost all respect for it (alot of it lost way before this issue, with all the hideous changes to it, and intolerance of little things, then tolerance of the WORST things... including a nice peice of stolen work I found three months ago and is STILL up. I've reported it three times now.)
So, yeah. You guys probably see me as some emo person, cause I usually only post when there is something wrong, but trust me, look at my very active DA and you'll see that I'm a very happy person... I just dislike this place to the extreme.
so, I hope the rest of you can continue to improve and get what you need. I'm not going to get it here, obviously.
