COMMENT URL https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1348491319/5298292166 COMMENT CONTENT @leothefox never forget the variance between the commercial side the creative. Commerciality is not based on how an artist views their work. Commerciality is based on how the audience views an artists work. The author of sherlock holmes, made a bok called the white company. From his own perspective the white company was a better book than sherlock holmes, but the audience wanted and loved holmes. So remember that, the creative value of your work is based on your relationship to your work. but the commercial value is based on how others view your work. You suggest the creative should determine the commercial but I don't think so. I think all artists need to comprehend what they value creatively, but also learn what is commercially liked. Stepehen king wanted to be a fantasy writer but it didn't work out commercially. His first book carrie he put in the trahs but it was a huge commercial success. I arrest my case. @I024 nice, people without brains looks like a spooky video game character, i can sense pyramid head around @CiroAliro no color needed , nice septptych, beautiful @darkroots77 mustard is that strong? knocks the eyes out @MozaGrin so cute and safe, can't mess around with tides, so many people don't wear floaties in the water @Saraeustace91 what are the dimensions of the butterfly? how long did it take to create? @DomesticVamp double saber wielding sith, so cool and her head tentacle is sexy COMMENT URL https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1350115732/5298298703 COMMENT CONTENT Beautiful edition as always @leothefox and all fellow Dreadfullers LEo , For carried along, who are the carriers and are those dead folk? @Chaosfive-55 your always so much fun, what kind of stone is that? @CapnDeek373 nice work developing "watching" COMMENT URL https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1348397185/5298303857 COMMENT CONTENT Congratulations to all you new senior folk @StephanePellennec how many dribbles did iya raore do for the take? @MSGoesDeviant when 2 states of matter collide is lovely, how high are the shore side cliffs?

COMMENT URL https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1349878628/5298336180 COMMENT CONTENT @KABANOMORI lovely feature, enjoyed all the works When any artist creates with no financial agenda, the art has only one purpose and that is the desires of the artist. That is historically ninety nine percent of art created. When an artists creates with a financial agenda that they are paying for, the artist is gambling what they like will be adored by others so to turn a profit. You see this in various independent films or independent video games. When an artist creates with a financial agenda others are paying for, others are the primary determinant of its success. The Medici's patronage to an artist, or big hollywood studio films paying a director who is an artist, comic book companies paying artists to draw and right a graphic novel. The problem in the art world isn't the absence of voices . Art has always been and will always be created throughout humanity, and usually with no financial agenda. The problem in the art world is the absence of voices in the paid artistic space. Oscar Michaeux proves black people in all aspects of the film industry in the usa was present from the early 1900s. But big hollywood studioes who financed better than anyone else, didn't utlizie black artists in all ways. so today it is still seen as a rarity. Black independent comic book makers have existed since at least the late nineteen forties, with Lion Man, and yet, the number of black characters between marvel + dc with their owncomic was so small, milestone was and still is deemed a rare gem of black title characters. The easiest proof is in jean michel basquiat's life. When he died , people threw his art away. Now, with the promotion by many black people with money, his art work goes for millions. When a firm is looking to make money in the arts it is looking to cater to the paying audiences tastes. In the usa what few seem to realize is the 1970s was the first decade in the history of the usa or the european colonies that preceded it where the black paying auidence could support white financed film/theater and thus the commonly called blaxploitation era which was mostly financed by whites, mostly had white directors, but had many black actors to cater to the black ticket buyers who wanted to see themselves. Have you ever been told your vision wasn't "authentic" enough? Did a curator or a manager diminished your experience based on their own? Or perhaps you were commissioned by a client only to learn they needed a "diverse" take on the subject? No but I havent worked for a disney or similar. I know artists who have worked in the private sector and they have stated similar. @RoyalArtist91 nice work fellow graphiter, I couldn't find the photo you referenced. but the chiaroscuro is lovely and from what i saw it looks like her @MagentaRoseOrchid what photo of yours do you want to be illustrated from most? @6re9 draperie is elegant, nice version @Apelure is the pearl going to be eaten? @AleksiAh I never played baldur's gate, but i like karlach's physicality @RolfDBruehwiler lovely detail in the ink, what inspired the design? @mrmission have you ever seen the film krull? this reminds me a little of the design for the beast? @hellboyashish is that harriet tubman? looks like a photo of her i saw. @Kietz your wife is very pretty, will you place the work of her in frames? @SCII1 moth gideon the texture of skin you achieved is very nice @lorelielye a fairy ballerina, cute @rohelinebear reminds me of the lady in gold @Wininiii a deer looking at the leaves nice @K-Zlovetch Ancient and powerful @WisniewskiStan love the decay of the demon cat @WisniewskiStan have you drawn sheharazade telling a tale?
