Dunning-Kruger

0 min read
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect Chances are, if you think you're good at art, you probably suffer from the Dunning Kruger effect. I firmly believe people who think they're good are the worst at art, as they will never improve. It's the ones that realize they suck that will go far, because they'll always have a reason to improve.

https://saccharinesylph.tumblr.com/post/20490316598/psa-my-art-is-not-a-base It's fine if you're keeping it to yourself, but it's NOT YOURS. You don't have the right to put it online unless you've had explicit permission to do so. People don't like it when their art is used without their say so.

Dear deviantArt, Why do you support art theft? You have a traced base category, despite your rules saying that tracing is not allowed. I have a theory that you are too lazy to respect original artist's rights, and motion that you please stop. Remove the traced base section which supports thiefs and their unauthorized use of original artist's work. These thiefs are not artists, and do not deserve to have rules bent so they can cheat people who work hard to improve and claim the work all by themselves.

happy birthday (this is April~)
I'm going to answer your other reply soon, but right now I thought I'd share this with you.

I should warn you it's a sad story that does not end happily.

:(
So sad

Is there an argument coming with this link, or is it just because you think I'd enjoy it (I d, not in a good way, but in a I'm happy to see people trying to make a difference way). I just half expect there to be a point for you sending this to me to try and change my opinion on the matter :/
No, I already told you my opinion on the subject, I'm not going to hound you about it.

But you seemed interested in getting more information and I think this video is a good one to share, especially with someone with an open mind in this controversial debate.

Though I would be lying if I said this video does not support my position. I admit my bias in that sense.
Well, it doesn't really go against my own opinion. That's all. It's a point I've been repeatedly making. I agree with this, and always will. Extreme situations call for extreme actions.
Hey, I need your help to defend dA from a huge art thief!!!
He's right here: [link]
He doesn't see the wrong in reposting other's work and taking credit. I know that you're more interested in traced base thieves, but... I think this might be even worse or maybe the same..
In case you were curious, here's a link to a sad story.
