something that bugs the hell out of me.
and this is the reason why i stopped coming to DA in the first place.
the only popular shit on this sight is fucking anime. i see brilliant traditional pieces with compositions and figures and landscapes that deserve to be admired, and they're overshadowed by fucking cartoons. no one seems to appreciate the value of a well thought-out piece of art anymore. anime is a low art form right along with doodles in highschool notebooks. i realize it's a fun pastime, but to say it's an incredible work of art is stupid. the bulk of my portfolio consists of real life studies and practices with illustration - not cutsie manga characters or what have you. any anime i do i consider to be scrap art in comparison. i don't understand the big hype about it being so fantastic. and there is my two cents.
