As CVs we get a tonne of suggestions for DDs, and with those come a variety of assertions as to why the piece should be featured as a DD. Some of these, particularly those that focus on things extrinsic to the art, really don't help get the art featured at all. In fact, sometimes the given reason can hinder the process instead. Here's a breakdown of the most common, unnecessary things we are told.
"The deviant worked really hard on this piece."
This is one of the most common extrinsic reasons I receive in DD suggestions, and the reason why it is so common is also the reason it is a bad one: it applies to just about everyone.
All artists who are even moderately serious about their work put a lot of time and effort into what they create. Those that seem to create difficult things with ease have put a lot of years of hard work into developing those skills.

Hello everyone!
I want to thank you all for your support! Without you, MilleCuirs wouldn't exist!
I decided that I will not take custom orders this year.
It is pretty hard to be a working-at-home dad and keep my Etsy shop running. It is a really difficult decision, but with no custom projects, I will be able to work on more creative and unique models. I also have some great ideas for new products to come in my Easy shop!
There will be a contest very soon, with a book giveaway!
Keep on following me!

Artisan and Illustrator since many years, started trying bookbinding recently. All books and grimoires are handmade from real leather. I created what I call "Antique book replicas". Those unique and original books and grimoires involves interior build from aged paper, weathered leather and antique metal embossing. I do custom bookbinding, from weddings to LARP, to the witches and apprentices! Look around the page, and feel free to contact me for anything! ETN |
