Ending my DA activity

Tue Jan 25, 2005, 6:57 AM
I've been on DA since 2001... During this time, I had great time but I think that the nowaday DA is much more different than the one I discovered 3 years ago.
Maybe DA is victim of its success...but hey, how can you emerge as an artist when there's about 10 000 000 deviations to see or to read ???
The devwatch has this weakness that there's so many talented artists on DA that it goes huge... and finally you watch nothing anymore. This is especially true when you're not a subscriber. ;)
The continual pressure put on DA artist to subsribe has something annoying... Thought DA was a free place for creative people to express themselves by art mediums.
It seems to me that DA has become someting I don't recognize me in anymore.
Many people come to my page and ask why I don't have much more hits. I really don't know. Maybe that too much art kills artists. But I think that a new member in 2004 will hardly emerge from the whole bunch of members...
Maybe that living in France is an obstacle because the hours of my submissions appear to be the moment where DA is less frequented...
Maybe that my work is crap...
Anyway, for all those reasons, I decided to quit defenitively DA.
Thanks for all the people that followed my work : Raun, Fidget and Redux especially.
May be this journal won't be read at all !

End of transmission.

love your work, ya know? I wish you wouldnt leave, but since you already have, I hope you let me know if you start showing your work somewhere else. I completely agree with you about the devwatch issues btw.. Its been nice meeting you, and I'm grateful for the wonderful support you've given me, especially when I was new around here :hug:
Stay cool, stay safe Xavier :!:

Thanks a lot for the kind words, Raun. During the time I followed your (impressive) work, I noticed an astonishing evolution of your production... Seems to me that you gonna be a major one on DA and maybe in the real world... I keep on working, but I'll never post on DA again. I chose altphotos.com, which is a great site for photographers. Come and have a look when you have time. Anyway, I'll take a look a DA, keepin' an eye on you.
Regards,
Xavier
