Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)
Draw a
100 point giveaway!Because I can. c:
Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

En primer lugar saludar a todos los integrantes de nuestro grupo.
Me veo "obligado" a difundir mi pensamiento de este modo, porque creo que va siendo hora de que se produzca un cambio que me parece mínimo a la par que enormemente significativo en DeviantArt: La introducción de la Ñ y los acentos.
Aún no alcanzo a comprender realmente los motivos por los que debo publicar una entrada como "suenyo" cuando existe tal cantidad de usuarios hispanohablantes. He visto el uso del alfabeto cirílico y arabe, no comprendo nuestra situación.
He mandado alguna consulta a los administradores (en inglés, por supuesto) y no he conseguido respuesta alguna.

Insto a todos los suscriptores, sean de este grupo o meros usuarios de habla hispana, a solicitar este pequeño gran cambio.


Sosoluis.

Sí, también se han quejado personas que utilizan otros idiomas. Si no recuerdo mal, por lo visto en finés tampoco se pueden escribir todas las letras. Voy a pedir ese "pequeño cambio". :)

Pues la verdad es que al menos, como mínimo, nos merecemos una respuesta y no me parece bien que no pueda poner el título que yo quiera a una obra, porque no puedo poner ni tildes ni la letra "ñ".

Vale que es un problema de código y que puedo traducirlo al inglés pero ¿y si no quiero? ¿tengo que traducirlo por narices? Hombre, si todas las personas que tienen una cuenta en Devianart tienen que pasar por "este aro" bueno, tiene un pase, pero si otras lenguas tienen ese privilegio, el Español no puede ser menos pienso yo.

¿"Suenyo"? XDDDD La verdad es que no me habré fijado mucho en eso ya que no recuerdo haber visto tales barbaridades, pero vamos, que me imagino que si las habrá a puñados totalmente XDDD Yo leo "suenyo" y a primera no sé qué quiere decir, vaya xDDD

Comprendo que a veces por prisa o por ..yo que sé, se omitan algunas letras , pero al mismo tiempo hay que evitar eso y usar nuestro idioma con todas sus reglas, ya que sobre todo en Deviant Art lo que escribimos lo ven muchos extranjeros y qué mejor que enseñarles lo bien que acentuamos el español XDDDjajaj

Hace unas semanas se puso en contacto con nosotros :iconjotazombie: y nos pasó el mensaje siguiente:

"Saludos desde Argentina, hace unos días subí una deviation con una sugerencia de una posible solución al problema de no poder usar caracteres especiales en los títulos de las obras (ejemplo la "ñ"). Siendo de un grupo español, supongo que podría interesarles. Sería muy bueno si hubiese alguna forma de ponerlo en conocimiento de sus miembros, para que además conozcan nuestro grupo y puedan unirse si es que les importa la causa.
Esta es la deviation en cuestión [link] (fue seleccionada como DD).
Gracias :)"

Me parece interesante esa GUI.
De todos modos, respondiendo a otros usuarios, de lo que hablo es de autores que, como un servidor, crean por ejemplo poesía, algo completamente en español, y que incluso hemos editado con un título en español (por ejemplo poesía). Es algo sin traducción, y no veo el motivo ni la obligación a tener que traducir al inglés. No hablemos ya del efecto "globalización" del que no soy en absoluto partidario, y que me parece una perdida de identidad de la obra y de la riqueza de nuestro idioma (como la riqueza de cualquier otro).

Realmente lo único que quisiera es una contestación por parte de los encargados de este web sobre si es posible dicho cambio. No estoy increpando a nadie y me parece algo totalmente correcto y un aporte, una mejora más, a esta maravillosa comunidad.
Yo, por lo pronto, volveré a preguntar por ello. Si alguien más lo hace, imagino que lo tendrán muy en cuenta.

Por qué poesía es algo sin traducción? Poetry es igual de correcto, pero en inglés. En cuanto al cuerpo de la poesía, puedes ponerlo con tildes, eñes y todo lo que tú quieras, así que no entiendo la pérdida de identidad y la riqueza idiomática de la que hablas. Que la obra no puede llamarse "lágrimas" sino "lagrimas", y no quieres traducirlo a "tears" porque suena cutre? Bueno, sinceramente lo veo un mal menor. Peor sería que no pudieses poner nada en absoluto, no crees?

Dado que me ofrecen la posibilidad gratuíta de exponer mi obra a miles de personas, no puedo sino agradecerles el servicio. Que podría mejorarse? Cierto. Que si se lo decimos mil veces lo cambiarán? No lo creo, porque ya se ha explicado que no es por capricho, sino por que está montado sobre una base que no indexea búsquedas con tildes ni caracteres como la eñe. Imagino además que si metiesen tildes, tendrían también que meter caracteres japoneses, arábes, chinos, rusos, etc, complicando por otro lado la búsqueda para todos los usuarios (si quisiese buscar dibujos de elefantes no me saldrían los de aquellos que lo hayan escrito en árabe,o japonés, dado que ni se escribir "elefante" en árabe ni japonés, ni mi teclado tan siquiera tiene éstos caracteres). Lo mismo os digo con los españoles, que queréis que vuestra obra se llame "Sueño". Perfecto, limitáis su búsqueda a una décima parte de todos los potenciales usuarios que quieran verla.

No es globalización, es adaptación inteligente.

Dices esto como si el español [i]no[/i] fuera el segundo idioma más hablado en el mundo, siendo EEUU el segundo país con más hispanohablantes, ni hubiera otros 30 países donde también se habla.

Si fuera una cuestión cuantitativa, olvidémonos del inglés y todos a escribir en mandarín.
