Scrap Faves and Gallery Cleanup

:wave: Hello all!

Hey guys, just some quick gallery announcements.

I've been getting quite a few faves on scraps. I know I shouldn't complain because a fave is a fave, but it's starting to get a bit frustrating. I posted scraps of spinning ambigrams to prove that they're legit, and people have been faving those instead of the actual deviations. The same goes with my rock salt photo. I posted a scrap of the photo signed by the cast of Supernatural, and now that's starting to get faves instead of the actual file. I love the cast as much as the next gal, but I'd rather know that the picture is getting acknowledged for it's composition rather than the fact that it has Jensen Ackles' name on it, you know?

As a result, I have removed all moving ambigrams and the signed photo from my scrap gallery. In their place, I have put links to the files on my photobucket account. That way they can still be viewed, but the correct files will be getting faved. Make sense?

I don't mean to be a jerk, and I realize that being on dA isn't just about faves. I know that, and that's certainly not why I'm here. But, if things are going to be faved, I want it done the right way.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case some of you faved any of these scraps and wanted to know why you can't find them in your favorites gallery anymore.

Along with this change, I'm also doing some general gallery cleanup: removing an unfinished trip report, deleting old screenshots, etc. This kind of stems from the same thing. My most viewed deviation is a screenshot, and that makes me sad. I want this site to be about my art, not whether or not I had a funny Amadeus wallpaper on my computer.

Thanks again for your support, everyone. It really means a lot to me. I hope this journal didn't come across as bitchy, because I truly don't mean for it to. It's just a personal pet peeve that I happened to find a solution for.

Take care, everybody.

P.S. I'm in the mood to fiddle with some ambigrams today, so you may see more of them in the upcoming weeks.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it a lot, especially since you're the first (who isn't a friend or relative) to comment on the series as a whole. That made my day :dance:

i think you really should keep doing it, keep posting pics in your series, also i like the quotes that you picked. nah, seriously, i'm like your stuff a lot, so i hope to see an update someday :)
glad that i made your day, sometimes it's just nice to hear something about your works and, well, yeah, not from relatives, cause they always thinks that you're perfect in everything you do, no matter what :D

I hope to get back to it soon. I was essentially unemployed this summer and couldn't afford the props. Paychecks start back up soon though :D
