Reuploaded....something went wrong on my end when I uploaded it the first time. Sorry about that.


It's actually a little funny the more you think about it. Drawing for page views give me a break. :chainsaw: You should be drawing because you want to. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a DBZ drawing mood, other times I feel like dragons and working on my next comic, or maybe I wanna draw a few MLP (:faint:) or Disney characters. Usually for me it depends on my mood but it's stuff I WANT to draw. I love to draw but drawing for page views is just stupid.


You do realize they are a number afterall and say NOTHING about the artist and their skill level. I've seen some incredible artists who have been around for over 3 years producing some of the best art I've ever seen on DA and they have just 30,000 total hits. They still keep pumping out art because they want to. :thumbsup:They could care less about page views....they are doing it because they want to. I hate when people see good art and shy away from the people because their views are pathetic compared to someone else. Give people a chance! :nod: All page views tell is popularity but it don't say anything about the artists true intent to draw to keep their page views high.


For me personally I know I'll proably never get and average of 100+ viewers per day. I'm fine with that. :) I just draw because I want to. Page views are a joke anyway in my opinion and I think many people hide them cause they know a lot of people judge the artist on them. It's a shame. Anyway I just wanted to get this stamp out here because I've been seeing it too much lately on DA people trying to keep people and their views high. :pissed: Just draw because you WANT to like me. Page views say nothing about you as an artist. As long as you think you are great then that's all that matters. Comments?


Feel free to use this stamp as you please!

I used to draw for pageviews under a defunct account, but not anymore. I'm not afraid to be myself.

Do you mean "drawing for pageviews" as in not drawing what you want? Because i draw what i want but place it on deviantart so people can see and comment, and for pageviews, and followers.

Oh, yes. At this point, I've only submitted one picture that had famous/popular stuff in it, and it was only for the sake of Christmas present props.

I may post some more familiar stuff at some point or another, but, for right now, I'm more interested in posting my own original concepts.

Thank you... this taught me not to draw for pageviews anymore, but to draw cause I want to. I'm not drawing what I want to draw (most of the time!) and my art is improving because of it :)
