A death on DA
HopelessThe death I'm talking about is of Traditional Art.
I rarely see it anymore. Sure there's Pearl, Goldenwolf and others... but they're all wolf artists. I rarely see portraits anymore. I rarely see paintings, (In acrylics, oils or watercolours), and pastels and coloured penicls and charcoal. There are sooo many amazing mediums to work with and they are few and far between. Digital art is great, I'm a digital artist myself. And I realized that though I still do some traditional art it never makes it to DA. I never take the time to just take a picture of it and upload it. We all started as Traditional Artists, every one of us. That was our beginning, our big break. Now we have forgotten about it. We are drawn to flashy images made on the computer. Sure its hard to do but honestly, traditional art is harder. Thats why we never do it anymore. At least, that's why I don't.
Do me a favor, and go out there and comment/fav/collect some traditional art. Keep the artists motivated. Just go and find five pieces of traditional art you like, any medium is acceptable, and comment on them. I lost a good, old friend recently who left DA because her tradtional art was being lost in the flood of digital artists and wolf artists.
So, find 5 pieces you like and post the links to them in a comment in my journal, include your own work even if you'd like. IT MUST BE TRADITIONAL though. (This includes Darkroom developed photography as well if you ask me). I will feature everything you post
Oh yes, and everyone who posts will get a free coloured headshot of one of their chars. Make sure you tell me who you want drawn in your post as well mates. I honestly don't care if we've ever met before either. If you just stumble across this journal, feel free to post. Even if you're in it for the free art I honestly don't care! Just... contribute some features
BRING TRADITIONAL ART BACK TO LIFE!

I don't need a free headshot, though. x3 But I might just take you up on this 'find 5 traditional pieces' idea. c:
It'd be fantastic if you could doodle uhhhm... either Rivie or Torren. You can do either of them, your choice: [link] ...you can draw them as little kids like they are there, or you can draw them older. I just happen not to have any good pictures of Torren after he grows up.

K.K
But traditional art certainly holds a place for most artists that writing does not.
I prefer traditional, but I never post any of mine. Mostly because it's hard to get it on the computer with the same quality it has face to face.

I'm addicted to pain.
I love traditional art, my favorite artists are watercolor artists...buts it just hard to deny; that even in my own art- when I rarely do a digital piece... its much more...popular? I guess.
Anyways, I tried to pick some lesser popular pieces that are simply amazing;

There is magic in our art - no matter the form it takes. All you need to do... is create it.
I have been doing more traditional lately myself I'm finding it easier and less of a hassle the digital
Picked a few from some friends who I think do excellent traditional art and threw a few of my own in as well.
