Respecting Daily Deviations

by ~Pentacle5, Dec 4, 2009, 4:59:07 PM
Journals / Culture / Happenings

I've been noticing for a long time a serious lack of respect in the deviantART community towards those who have been awarded daily deviations. I'm not talking about constructive criticism, which many of the attackers attempt to label their comments as; I'm talking about utter disrespect for the artist from saying that the piece featured did not deserve the daily deviation to declaring that the model depicted is too thin or too fat to claiming the content of the art is wrong based on someone's narrow opinion. And many others. Enough is enough.

1. Before anything else, let me say that people who have been awarded daily deviations DO NOT ASK FOR THEM. I'm going to say it again, so that it is understood:

The PEOPLE who have been AWARDED DAILY DEVIATIONS do NOT ASK for them.

Therefore, even if the piece featured doesn't fit your idea of what is worthy to be posted as a daily deviation, it is unfair of you to tell the artist that s/he doesn't deserve it.

Again: If the piece featured does NOT fit YOUR idea of a worthy daily deviation, it is still UNFAIR of you to tell the artist that s/he doesn't deserve it.

Good. Now that we've got that out of the way, here's some FAQ:

FAQ #61: What is a Daily Deviation?

The Daily Deviation is a daily feature chosen from the galleries here on deviantART.

A small assortment of submissions are chosen each day by a select group of staff/volunteer members who wish to showcase an image which they found impressive or otherwise interesting enough to deserve being brought to the attention of the community-at-large.

The staff/volunteer members responsible for selecting submissions for the daily feature often are open to suggestions and individual community members may direct their attention by noting the appropriate gallery moderator or staff member with a direct link to the deviation which you are suggesting and a brief description about why you think the work in question should be featured.

FAQ #18: Who selects Daily Deviations and how are they chosen?

The Daily Deviation is a daily staff feature chosen from the galleries here on deviantART.

The selecting administrator may be a Volunteer Gallery Moderator or other staff/volunteer member who has been granted the necessary access to the special selection tools.

A small assortment of submissions are chosen each day by this select group of staff/volunteer members who wish to showcase an image which they found impressive or otherwise interesting enough to deserve being brought to the attention of the community-at-large. It is important to note that selections need not be of professional quality in order to be featured for the day.

Individual staff/volunteers may show different levels of activity which may lead to certain genres or types of artwork to be chosen more often than others. If you believe that a certain type of artwork is being overlooked or under-represented please feel free to offer suggestions by noting or emailing the appropriate staff/volunteer member listed below. NOTE: Anyone can suggest a daily deviation.

FAQ #873: What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature?

A Daily Deviation is intended to give an artist a chance to be seen by a large portion of the community and as not everyone has the same tastes, it is obvious that you may not appreciate every piece that is selected as a daily deviation.

If you have a problem with a particular Daily Deviation feature, do NOT leave your disapproval among the other comments on the piece. It is disrespectful to the artist featured, the person who chose it and/or the person that suggested it.

If you absolutely must voice your disapproval of a selected feature, feel free to note $Moonbeam13 however, unless the image violates policy in some way, it is highly unlikely it will be removed.

In severe cases, if you "flame" or harass a featured artist, you may be banned.

It really is clear enough, but some people still don't seem to get it. In this case, I can only recommend that you read it again and again until you do get it. Otherwise, if you still insist on telling the receiver of a daily deviation that s/he didn't deserve the daily deviation, don't get upset when other community members, such as myself, call you on it.

2. Next. I cannot have been the only one to notice that not one single person seems to be able to post an artistic nude photo without having someone, usually more than one, say that, in the case of women, the model is either too thin (looks like she doesn't eat, unhealthy, underweight, anorexic, etc.) or too fat (unhealthy, obese, overweight, ate too many hamburgers, etc.), and in the case of men the model is too scrawny (feminine, boyish) or has a small penis (which is likely to look that way being that erect penises are not allowed on this site). In the case of both genders, either is sometimes called too sexual.

What is it about the nude human body that has people so up-in-arms?!? The human body varies and not all of us fit the ideal. Furthermore, different people have different ideals. Just because a model is beautiful does not mean s/he is not "real." And unless a person is universally (that means to just about everyone) morbidly obese or frighteningly skeletal, a full figure is not necessarily overweight and a slim figure is not necessarily underweight.

When it comes to male models, once again, erect penises are not allowed on this site. I'm sure most of us are aware that the male organ gets quite a bit larger during an erection than when it is dormant. Dormant penises are all you'll find here that are acceptable (otherwise report it), thus any argument of the model having too small a penis is rendered invalid. As for scrawniness, men, like women, have different body types and not every male is going to be muscular. They are attractive in their own way and if you don't like that body type, then don't favourite it.

But enough about that. For argument's sake let's say you're right and that the model is too skinny/fat/has a small penis. This is not a health/beauty site, this is an art site. Comment on the art. Is the model well-lit, etc.? If not, how can you help the artist improve? That's called constructive criticism, or critique. You are NOT to criticize the model's body type! There is nothing constructive about it; it's simply malicious. I don't care if you are well-endowed yourself. Post a photo of yourself if you like the way you look better. In short, get over yourself.

As for sexual nature? There is a reason for the mature content filter "sexual themes." Use it. There can be sexual themes without the piece being pornographic. If you believe it to be pornography, report it and the moderators will deal with it. If you still have issues, contact the help desk. If you are told repeatedly that it's not pornography, then it probably isn't, so leave it alone. Do NOT go to the artist's page and tell them that their work is disgusting, etc., and that it should be removed. YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT AUTHORITY.

3. You do not agree with the content of the art. Everything about this issue makes you seethe inside, but guess what? Someone else feels the exact opposite. And that's okay; opinions are what make us different, but deviantART is not the place for you to talk about the evils of homosexuality on someone's piece of art. Once again, this is an art site. Comment on the art. You don't have to agree with the content, and there is nothing wrong with saying, "While I don't agree with your views on abortion, this piece is very well-executed" or "I can't say I agree with the content of this piece, but you could do ... to improve the piece itself."

Now, while some art pieces are pretty clear in what viewpoint they are taking, I have seen daily deviations bashed for things solely for what the narrow-minded commenter drew from the piece and not from anything the piece itself actually said or showed. For example, a piece of literature about a young girl who kills her father after years of sexual abuse was called a disturbing male-bashing fantasy by a commenter who then went on to say that fatherhood was sacred and should not be presented otherwise. I don't think I need to say how ridiculous that was. And there are many other examples, but they would be too many to write here.

This disrespect for content of art based on a matter of opinion is not to be confused with the disapproval of hate 'art,' pornography, or art theft, etc. In these cases, don't even comment on the person's page. Simply report it and it will be dealt with as necessary. Hate 'art,' pornography, and art theft are not allowed on this site.

Do you see what I'm saying here? It is possible to state your disagreement, and to give constructive criticism, thus respecting the artist. I myself have favourited several pieces simply because they were either well-executed and pleasing to my eye, or because the concept was clever. You don't have to favourite the piece, but if you comment, you do have to be respectful. Remember that it could be you who gets a daily deviation one day without your asking for it, and I'm sure you want respect. Yes, you might say you don't care, etc., etc., but deep down you do, and you should do the same for others. Don't be jealous or resentful of the people who get daily deviations; instead, be happy for a fellow artist whose work is being brought attention to. Get off your high horse; you are not the authority on what is good art and what is bad art. Human nude figures presented in art will have different body types, get used to it. Your opinion on the content of a piece is no more valid than any other person's opinion on it. And that's all I have to say on this issue and I hope more artists from this community will back me up on this.

Photography Seminar

Well, the WIPS photography seminar this year was held in my little city this weekend, and my grandparents bought the ticket for me. On Friday night, Ralph Gibson did a moving presentation on his strictly film photography and also did a musical presentation involving an electric guitar and some of his photographs and some film footage that he and a friend had shot. It was very different and certainly not for everyone, but I quite enjoyed it. Best of all, I was able to talk to Ralph Gibson (he invited me over to his table) a little, before his presentation, and much more afterward, with the encouragement of a photographer who had come all the way from Nova Scotia (the seminar was in Ontario). If you don't know who Ralph Gibson is, don't feel too bad as I didn't either before last week, but he is something of the grandfather of black and white photography. He shoots colour as well sometimes, but, as my friend from Nova Scotia, Mark, put it, he shoots it the same way he shoots black and white. High contrast, much simplicity, and a talent for making use of space as well as the objects surrounding the space. What he talked about a lot was the "point of departure," which I can't exactly explain here, but I will say that it causes one to go back to the photograph and want to look at it again and again and take away something different each time.

On Saturday, there were three talks. The first two were by Rob and James, two "no BS" photographers in a business together who like to have a lot of fun and who also had some great things to share. Rob was the first speaker and he talked a lot about the business of family and wedding photography. He talked about including triangles in the shots, diagonal lines, and how, in family photos, one must "Make Mom look good because she's the boss," and "Make Dad feel like he's in charge." James did his presentation on off camera flash which consists of placing two flashes on either side of the subject, exposing the camera for the flashes, rather than for the subject, and this creates a very moody shot. It's a lot of high contrast with strong shadows that create an almost HDR effect.

The third speaker was Canadian nature photographer Darwin Wiggett. He talked about the pros and cons of JPEG versus RAW formats. His advice when it came to shooting RAW images was not to underexpose the image, but actually to slightly overexpose the image by making sure the histogram was to the right rather than the left or the middle. Then, darken it and boost the contrast on the computer, and your image will actually look better than it would have as a JPEG. He also talked a lot about using filters rather than photoshop. Polarized filters can be used to boost colour on overcast days, they can be used to enhance rainbows, and they can be used to get rid of harsh reflections so that one could see through water. Gold-n-blue polarized filters are just what they sound like; they will push gold or blue or both to enhance the photo to look like sunrise or sunset, or to give a colder or warmer feel. Then there are gradient filters, harsh or gradual, so that if exposing for the dark areas caused the sky to be blown out, one could simply put on one of these filters, harsh or gradual as needed, and have a photo that was perfectly exposed for both land or water and sky. Sometimes, a photo might call for a combination of these filters. The beauty of it was that one could use the filters to replicate exactly what they saw, or enhance what would otherwise be a dull image, all without the need of post-processing. Another very encouraging thing he said at the beginning was that one need not have a whole lot of equipment to be a good photographer and he showed several photos that he had taken with his little handheld point-and-shoot. And they were quite good! It was affirmation that it doesn't take good equipment to be a good photographer (though it helps), but just a good eye. Afterwards, I thanked Darwin for his presentation and bought one of his CDs with his presentation on it.

This morning was the final three presentations, one by James, then by a local photojournalist named Nick, and then by Rob. We, the audience, were split into three groups and rotated. James briefly went over off camera flash again before showing us his minor photoshop techniques for creating very dramatic images. The techniques? Simply make a copy of the background layer and set it to multiply, erase what you want to stand out as lighter than the rest, use the burn tool to darken any areas you want darker still, and finally the topaz adjustment filter photopop can create a very HDR like effect. Nick talked about photographing more than the main subject itself when it came to news, but rather the whole event. For example, if there is an air show, don't just photograph the planes, but photograph the vapor trail left behind, the people looking up at it, and the spectators. He also told us how he was able to get some of his shots simply by going in with a point-and-shoot, keeping a low profile, and waiting for the opportunity to shoot without getting into any trouble. Finally, Rob talked about posing and the ways to make Mom look good, and to make Dad look like he's in charge, which lighting and posing looks better for which gender. He went over soft boxes, reflectors, rembrandt lighting, profile lighting, head tilts, and even got two people from the audience, a young woman and a young man, to pose for him so that he could show us the five essential poses.

All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I hope I can make it next year, though I don't know yet where it will be held. To top all of that off, the film festival also took place this weekend and I saw Good Hair, The Cove, and Enlighten Up!. All documentaries, all very different, and all worth seeing. By the way, I was momentarily mistaken for Penelope Cruz whilst waiting for my Grandparents to finish Broken Embraces after Ralph Gibson's presentation was finished. I can only take that as a very nice compliment! lol Anyway, I am absolutely elated right now. It's just been such an artsy weekend, and I'm sorry to see it end so soon. I enjoyed talking to Mark and Darwin and Ralph, and I do plan to visit their sites. I enjoyed the energy, the aura exuded by the excited people at the film festival, I loved being in an environment of people who were as passionate about a specific art form as I am, I even enjoyed being the youngest person at the photography seminar as it meant I could only learn from everyone else. This whole weekend was just so...me. And in a way I haven't really experienced before. But this is what I'm meant for; I've always been mistaken for an anti-social person, but I'm really not. I'm an intellectual and I enjoy speaking with intellectuals, surrounding myself with those people and stimulating my mind with ideas, and I hope to do do it much more often in the years to come.

Sooo...I do seem to be getting quite a lot of attention on this account (LOVE TO ALL!!!) which makes things pretty busy, but hey! It's good busy! For those of you who have favourited my work and whose galleries I have not looked at yet, or who have added me to your watch list and I have not done so in return, please be patient. I will look at your galleries in time and be sure to favourite absolutely everything I like there because I'm generous like that

And if you have added me to your watch list, then I will look at your gallery, favourite what I like, and add you as well if I like a sufficient amount. If I don't add you, please don't be offended as I watch many people and I have to prioritize. If you're a writer, and I haven't faved or added you as a friend, it's because it takes longer to read than to look at pictures, but I will get to you! Anyway, the main reason for this journal is...well, some of you know I have four other accounts for different art that is not photography:

painting and drawing,

typography and design,

literature, and

fashion design. Witchvine, my writing account is what this journal's about. It doesn't get much attention, so if you have time (once again, I understand it takes longer to read), please check out my vampire, Valundra. She is awesome. [link]

Thank you! Pentacle5

PS, this is NOT fanfic; it is my original story that I have been developing for something close to seven years. Luscerus is not Edward, Valundra is not Selene, Kosov is not Dracula, etc., etc., etc. Not that I have anything against GOOD fanfiction, but writing fanfiction just isn't my thing.

If you opened this, FILL IT OUT! Learn 50 things about your friends, and let them learn 50 things about you! (actually, I don't care)

1. Height/weight?
5'6" and, while I haven't checked my weight since I can't even remember, I imagine it's somewhere between 105 and 115lbs.

2. Have you ever smoked heroin?

Lol, it ends up looking like swamp water and trying to get people to taste it the first time (including myself) is hilarious! But then you taste it aand...suddenly you want a glass full, and then you finish off the bottle and then whenever my friends come over (those who have tried it), one of the first things they ask is if we have grass juice! It's gooooddd stuff!

22. Current worry?

40. How many TVs do you have in your house?
Three.

41. Who is your loudest friend?

Taken from aobob's journal

anyway another journal entry by me, and ive had another brilliant idea so that i can know weird facts about the weird people watching me

and so it begins... anyone who feels up to commenting in this journal has to reveal one odd fact about themselves. I will then mark this odd fact out of ten. The persons or person with the greatest odd fact, according to the sole judge, me, will HAVE to put this in their journal, and do the exact same thing!

i know this sounds extremely chain-maily, and will never work, because no one in their right mind will want to put this piece of.... nonsense in their journal

but though i might give it a try

started by me... aobaob

Contraversial Survey

by ~Pentacle5, Sep 26, 2008, 11:03:51 AM
Journals / Personal

Mood: Dazed
Listening to: the hum of the computer
Reading: whatever's on the screen
Watching: the computer screen
Playing: nothing
Eating: toast and jam
Drinking: air

DISCLAIMER: The answers in this survey may be offensive to some people. All opinions are honest and my own, so if you don't like what I say, please don't attack me for it. If you would like to hear my reasoning behind anything, feel free to ask in a POLITE AND MATURE manner. I like discussions, but I refuse to have arguments with you about my beliefs.

That having been said, on with the survey...

01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and repost as The Controversial Survey?
Obviously.

[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
Uh...no, I like my brain, thanks.

[03] Abortion: for or against it?
Lol, I'm not for arbortion, I'm pro-choice because you know what? A skin cell is human too and can be used to clone someone. Does that make me a murderer if I scratch you? No. You aren't a person until you can feel or think to some degree and that doesn't happen until the fifth month of development, when the brain attaches to the spinal cord and send messages. Do I think abortion is sad? Yeah! I think it's very sad that we live in a world where women feel they have to have them! You want to stop abortion? Eliminate the cause because laws won't do anything, they'll just result in back-alley abortions. Not pretty. And adoption! Good old adoption! Do you realize how many kids are not adopted? I have a question: would you adopt a kid with down syndrome, alcoholic syndrome, or some other mental disorder? If your answer's yes, then you're a great person; if your answer's no, then you really need to rethink your position if you think adoption is a cure-all solution. Here's another: how about we take care of the kids who can actually think and feel before we worry about totally unconscious fetuses whose lives don't matter to them?

[04] Would the United States fall with a woman president?
Maybe. Maybe not; it might fall with a male president. I think it's time the world power entered the 21st century, for that matter, so should Canada.

[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
No, but that's only because there is no way to absolutely know for sure if the person is guilty. If there was I'd say yes, but there isn't, not even with modern technology and one innocent person's death is not worth even millions of dead bad guys.

[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Yup. I don't do it, but it's good for cancer patients and there's actually no scientific evidence that says any of the so-called negative effects are true.

[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
I really don't care as long as it isn't rape.

[08] Do you believe in God?

Ahh, we reach the religious question at last.
I believe there is a God and I believe he has a consort: the Goddess. Since I'm a woman, I acknowledge the God, but the Goddess is one I turn to.

[09] Do you think that same sex marriage should be legalized?
Honestly, finding love is so hard, is it really so bad if two people of the same gender fall in love? Absolutely I believe it should be legalized.

[10] Do you think its wrong that so many Hispanics are moving to the USA?
Considering the US is responsible for a lot of the problems in Latin America, no; I think the US is getting its due.

[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
I don't think it's right to judge a mother no matter how young she is; I have heard of twelve-year-olds with more strength than many adults. Unless the parent is abusive, a child should stay with their parent so long as the parent wants it before the age of majority.

[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
I think that if you're old enough to "die for your country", you're old enough to drink.

[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
It should have never started. Yes.

[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
No, if someone's going to die anyway, who are you to say that person should suffer through it?

[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
The most well-behaved children I have been around had not had a hand lain on them. My Nana wasn't raised with corporal punishment and she turned out to be the closest thing to a saint as I will ever meet.

[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
I would burn the US flag for fun. A million dollars would be nice though.

[18] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
Don't know; I don't think the US needs another republican president right now (by the way, has anyone else noticed that McCain looks like Darth Vader when he takes his mask off?), but Obama keeps changing his views. The US desperately needs a third party.

[19] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Lol, no. I'm not afraid. I'll ask you to please be mature even if you don't agree because stupidity and immaturity bother me, but I expect I might get flamed for this. That's fine. Bring it on!

You must have more than a dozen deviations that I can pick my 3 favs from.
Please have something in your gallery (photos and drawings), or else I'll disregard the comment.

Hi! As you may have noticed, I haven't posted anything new on this account for a long time. There are reasons for this:

First, the move isn't finished. This means that I still have deviations in this account that are not photography, and if you look at them you will see DO NOT FAVE: deviation as the title and a link in the comment which will take you to the same deviation but on a different account. This is because I want those deviations to receive the same amount of faves there as they did here. Once that happens, they'll be deleted from this account. So please browse the different categories that aren't photography and, if you see something you like, follow the link and fave

The second reason is that some of my photos haven't been noticed and if I post anything new, the farther back it goes in gallery. I've created folders to help with this, but still. Here are some of them

An architecture shot [link]
A waterscape shot [link]
Black tree in a silver sky [link]
Interesting colours in the clouds [link]
Canada geese and a pond [link]
A sunny winterscape [link]
A chandelier [link]

Now, when I finally do upload more photos, have no fear! I will not go on a massive upload frenzy like in the past! I will post photos I have taken for my classes and photos I gave to family as Christmas presents and then, sparingly, maybe some that I find particularly beautiful. So no worries!

Hi! So, I realize that my gallery is getting pretty big and as a result, some of my deviations aren't getting noticed at all

. To remedy this, I will be creating new accounts for different art. I've already made a fashion account, though nothing has been uploaded yet, and my name is Corsette-Queen. I'll be uploading my Death costume study there as well as anything else that has mainly to do with fashion. I realize that some of my Death drawings have been faved therefore I will not remove those ones from this gallery until they get faved as many times in the other one. The other accounts I will make will be for photomanipulation, typography, literature, photography, and paintings. I'm a bit uncertain about the photography part because there are so many, but then I don't want to move my drawings to another gallery when Stardust's Witch has 12 faves here, so the last to be decided on will be photography and drawings; they get to fight over which one stays here, lol.

And...just in case my avatar is somewhat misleading, THERE WILL BE NO NUDITY, well at least not me being nude, so look somewhere else if that's what you were hoping for. My painting account is

My typography account is

My literature (poetry, stories) is

Lol, I happy. Why I happy? Because one of my deviations received it's tenth fave today and it's the first one to get that many. Stardust's Witch [link] is my most popular deviation! Hopefully it will get even more faves! Hehehe! Sowwy...I'm done gloating, sorry for gloating

So! I have over 1000 page views! *gloats* Ahem...sorry...um...well, if I can get home by Saturday, I'm going to try to upload ALL my photos! It'll be somewhere in the 200-300 range, I think, but not more than that because I already have at least 100 posted and all altogether there's not yet 500 (although I still have a few more to upload from my camera, including pigeon sex). And then there won't be anymore until I see something I really like, such as a sunset, or lightning, or ball lightning! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I'm never going to see ball lightning so I might as well give up on that little fantasy

....Aw well! Just letting you know!
