There's an odd fascination between people and art theft. It seems like the kind of drama everyones dying to get their noses in. But why give it the attention it doesn't deserve? I met a person I used to know on dA because she had been accused of ripping someone elses art. 20,000 + hits later, she was let off with quite a nice boost. It's likely the best publicity you can get on dA.
With all of the pathetic things people do to get attention on dA (create 200 accounts to fave their own work, misscategorize things so they'll end up on the main page, put popular searches like loish or naruto in their keywords just to show up on the searches, etc etc) I'm absolutely shocked more people haven't caught on to the amazing free publicity of stealing and ripping art! All made possible, because we can't just stick out of things that aren't even out business to begin with.
So on the subject, what's the stupidest thing you guys have seen for people to try to get attention? My favourite is the "I am leaving dA FOREV" every second week stunt. Oh, that's golden
ps. Sorry to dissapoint those who actually thought I had a magical way to get 40K fast. Apparantly commenting doesn't help; my friend *rabid-potato gave out over 100 comments for every 10 she got, and my other friend ~Epiaruna gave 42.89 comments per day since she joined DA. Neither of them have 40K hits altogether; they barely have 40,000 hits between the two of them!

lol, people do some crazy shiz~
huh? O____O
they DID that???
200 accounts..
...ewww,,, isn't that mean that you are lying to yourself??
1 word.. pathetic
true, anyone would like to get more love and attention to their artworks..
but.. that *points above* just.. cheap.. sheesh
I can't imagine, an artist whose watchers are all actually himself/herself..
...what's so fun/great with
..I-I didn't get their way of thinking
umm,, umm,, I didn't know much about how to get on the front page.. do you have to get more than 100
..coz I saw many (I mean, MANY) artworks that displayed on the front page only have, like, 50 and less
..does it mean that my PC is broken? TTATT
.........forgive me for not going to the subject of the topic..
I'm so stooopppiiddd ;___;
"what's the stupidest thing you guys have seen for people to try to get attention?"
hmm..? stealing arts
..and the artist make a fuss on how ppl so mean by accusing him/her as an art-theft
oohhh and I wanna tell you something funny
I told someone that his artwork -which he declared that it IS his own artwork, I mean an artwork of fanart- is actually NOT his
why I said so?
cuz I had the ORIGINAL artwork in my PC
that art as he declared as a tribute to a-manga-that-I-won't-give-a-name-with
actually is one of the artworks from the TRUE artist/mangaka
YES, he gave credits to the mangaka. BUT only like, "this YYY is a character of mangakaXXX"
NO, he DID NOT say that there's the original one from the real mangaka
NO, *at first* he DID NOT say that he TRACED and RECOLOURED it from the ORIGINAL one
finally -he said- that he traced it and recoloured it
..after I made some apperarance, of course
..but is it because not much ppl know about it (that it's indeed the real artist/mangaka own work), and he traced/recoloured it, can make you as the TRUE owner???
and also, the funiest part is..
his friends agreed with him and insulted me instead 8DDD
maybeee.. he *thought* that it's enough by giving credits that it's a fanart of mangaka-XXX
and his friends.. seemed they misunderstood me
..or they truly close their eyes and ears
u__u
but what made me so MAD was he rant about it on his journal.
and made me as the bad guy.
heellllooooo??? I'm not the one tracing-recolouring-the-original-artwork-and-gave-statement-that-it's-mine
the world has gone nuts, my friend 8D
eek
another long rambling from me XD;
forgive me m(_ _)m
oh, and sorry for the broken english
I'm still learning
..sorry for spamming TT__TT
I didn't mean to..
this sentence:
"heellllooooo??? I'm not the one tracing and recolouring the original artwork and gave statement that it's mine"
Every dog has it's day, and I know someday, if I keep practising, I'll have mine.
