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

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

Edit: Concerning New Episode Art

by =Marker-Mistress, Aug 27, 2011, 1:42:16 PM
Journals / Personal

Something else that's kinda making the rounds are pieces being submitted based on a new episode that just aired. To air on the side of caution we ask that members refrain from posting artwork from new episodes that might spoil things for others until at least a few days after broadcast (at most 3-4 days) to give everyone as much of a chance to catch up and not have something ruined for them. I know it's hard to hold back, but no one likes to look in their inboxes and have surprises let out of the bag. And it's especially hard for mods (like me who haven't seen the new episodes yet) who have the story spoiled by eager beavers.
Just a heads up, it's something that will be implemented into the group guidelines from now on.
Thanks again!

------------------------------------------

In the last week I've noticed that we've been getting a lot of sketches, doodles, and other types of unfinished work being submitted into the group. This kind of thing needs to stop, we try to follow an unwritten (but should be common knowledge) rule to only submit work that is finished and you want to have featured for others to enjoy.
We do actually visit the pages of works being submitted here as a part of making sure things are being submitted to the right place, but all too often we see a lot of people making comments to their submissions being the following:
"This is crap, I don't like it"
"Something I doodled"
"I sketched this out, might finish it later"
Or being an updated version of a previously submitted piece that's in the gallery. (we try to not take doubles of the same piece of art)

If you guys can't take your work seriously, we're not going to feature it here. We want everyone who submits to this group to be proud of their work and submit the best of what they have. Why should accept work even the original artist doesn't like? Other groups have their standards sure, but here we try to feature work everyone can be proud of.

I know I seem to be harsh about this stuff, but for the sake of trying to run this place as smoothly as possible, I try to keep you guys informed of whatever the mods and I see as something that might impede progress. I know a lot of members leave the group as well after having something declined, but try to talk to us first before doing so, because we will try to give you a reason as to why it was. Some of us might be busy with jobs (or in my case hurricane prep) but we will try to get back to your inquiries.

Thanks for your continued patience!

I'm glad that you are doing your best to keep this group quality and spoiler-free! It's nice to find a place with such fair guidelines and an awesome gallery!

=Marker-Mistress Sep 1, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thanks a bunch! It means a lot to hear that

We're going to keep it up

~Liliana-Claire Aug 28, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Thankyou for this. The episodes air a week late in Australia, and if you don't download it's mighty annoying to avoid the internet for a whole week not to see spoilers!

=Marker-Mistress Sep 1, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Not a problem! I wish there was more we could do to hold off until everyone had a chance to see the new eps! I can totally understand, the internet is a temptress that's hard to avoid lol

~Arinen Aug 28, 2011 Professional General Artist

Ugh, that's exactly what I hate about #HarryPotter-FanGroup, every second image is a stupid doodle, shitty photomanip (I have nothing against photomanips, but taking a screenshot, turning it to sepia and adding a quote is NOT ART), and recently there's been an influx of mary-sue OCs made in some Potter-themed dollmaker, and they all look exactly the same.

You have no idea how good it is that this group actually has mods who do their jobs and have standards

=Marker-Mistress Sep 1, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Dude, I totally agree which is why we really try to strive for all original art here, we get just as frustrated with seeing that work get attention as fellow members do. We try to not follow the lead of many other DW groups that let everything in the door but try and keep the focus on showcasing work people are proud of and I'm thrilled to hear your input!

~Arinen Sep 2, 2011 Professional General Artist

I actually really appreciate that. Sure, some people may get upset if their work isn't really up to par, but it gives them something to aim for. And it's not like you really discriminate against skill levels as such.

I tend to only watch people who are "good" - that is, most of their work has had a decent level of effort put in, and they're not beginners. I'm pretty sure that even the people who submit crappy sketches want to see that sort of thing from others, so I don't see why they think that everyone else wants to see it from them... Harsh, maybe, but there it is.

=Marker-Mistress Sep 2, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

That's exactly true, and I'm glad there are members that understand that. It's not something that we can entirely put into words, but something that should be understood without explanation. I usually take it as a challenge to better myself, but some people don't see it that way and take offense when none should be.

Another good point. And the mods and I have talked about that. It's rather a slap to the face to expect someone to feature work when the people submitting it don't like it themselves, who wants to see that kind of negativity in their inbox? I sure don't and we don't feel that anyone here should either.

~Arinen Sep 2, 2011 Professional General Artist

Exactly! And to be honest I'm pretty sure the only people you'd reject on skill level would be beginners (and how can you get offended about being new at something - we've all been there, and none of us was brilliant right away). It's definitely an incentive to get better, and it's good to have a benchmark to be able to look at and say "ok, this is where I need to get to."

=AkiSmith Aug 28, 2011 Student Traditional Artist

Those are good rules! Also, do you know when the new episode airs in the US?
