Description Surprise! Yes, a new Slightly Damned page in the middle of the week. Why's that, you ask? Well, because these pages are boring, yet necessary. I feel bad having you guys wait a whole week just to get more boring talking. Yes, I do plan to update again on Saturday.

As for this page specifically... well, the art's kind of all over the place. Story-wise, the Fairy sisters have had names in my head for a really long time. I just didn't make a good opportunity to have them be revealed. And here we are, months after these characters have been introduced, and they FINALLY have their names. The older Fairy, the green one, is named Willow. The blue one is Eve.

Lastly, I don't want to hear anyone whining about what a bully Cliff is for not wanting to leave his house with Buwaro. I mean, Buwaro means well, but... he's Buwaro. Would YOU trust him with all your valuables? If so, then you deserve to have them turned into a pile of ash.

Finally, Rhea gets to the bottom of Buwaro's emo-ness.

I know, it's character development, I'm just joking around.

Also, we finally hear the fairies names! ...They didn't mention the names before, did they?

I wish you would quit dissing your art. If you think that it's bad, you need to go looking around DA at some of the shit people put on a canvas and called art. You are an incredible artist. And you need to realize that.

ritabuuk In reply to RageReaper [2009-10-08 03:41:35 +0000 UTC]

Heck, canvas? That's way high-class compared to what some people post on dA...

While I agree that raizy should not diss her own art too much, and it bothers me when good artists can only say bad things about their own work, I don't think she went too far here. What makes the good artists good is that they see all the flaws in their own work. They need to acknowledge when they do a good job, but also where improvement is needed. Plus, raizy has the clearest view of any shortcomings, because she can compare what she has in her head with what ends up on the page.

When I draw, I personally strive to do better than my last drawing in order to improve. It doesn't really matter what anyone else is doing. It's a competition with myself, not with other artists.

RageReaper In reply to ritabuuk [2009-10-12 03:26:15 +0000 UTC]

Noble. I agree with you that artists should be open minded enough to see their own shortcomings, but never really go looking for them. If you find them, then improve upon them, but if you don't, don't actively look to find some small point that you messed up on. It's senseless. It will only decrease the quality of one's work. Besides, nitpicking is what critiques are around for. If the artists do all the nitpicking for them, we get put out of a job. And if the critiques are telling you to quit blasting yourself, you probably do it too much.

ritabuuk In reply to RageReaper [2009-10-12 07:19:42 +0000 UTC]

On the contrary, being able to see my own triumphs as well as my own shortcomings helps my art get better, because I can acknowledge my improvement and also see what I need to focus more on next time. If I saw everything I make as an utter masterpiece with nothing to improve upon, I would be sure to stagnate. Though, yes, if I saw everything as a utter failure, I would be sure to give up. I think it is best to look for both.

I can't rely on other people to point out the flaws, especially on deviantArt. But even with self-nit-picking turned up really high, I am not going to be able to see everything. Critiques are still extremely welcome. I am still blind to plenty of my own mistakes. In fact, I am sure my most egregious mistakes are the ones I am blind to.

RageReaper In reply to ritabuuk [2009-10-13 22:06:16 +0000 UTC]

But if artists all see all their errors, what are we critiques supposed to do? D:


And I'd rather not even have to look at the people that can't draw at all but still say that they have the best art in the world. *Shudder*

Wowweee~ Middle of the week! Yay!

Out of most of these people feeling bad for Buwaro.. I don't? xD

Hes frowning too much, too much frowning not coming from me leads to me having to pull out a hammer.(I don't frown because I'm sad its because thats my normal face.. I guess I frowned a bit too much and my face got stuck like that xD)

I wasn't so fond of Cliff when we first met him, but now I get where he's coming from. I mean, even if it is Buwaro, he's still a demon. I don't think I would leave my stuff with a demon, even a fuzzy purple one.

I feel bad for Buwaro but think about poor cute little Kieri over there. I mean, she was just starting to get really attached to buwaro and was starting to see that there really are good demons out there. that could have changed the entire course of the future between demons and angels because of that one little connection.

But then all this happens...poor girl...i feel for her

I don't believe this. How can you possibly be mad at Cliff? Cliff didn't do anything mean or unreasonable in this page. Are you just trying to be funny? I'm really getting sick of this.

masamunemaniac In reply to raizy [2009-10-07 22:43:33 +0000 UTC]

Some people don't respond to reason in the way that a reasonable person think they ought to.

I'd say you've just got to accept that's the way things are, but then I'd be telling you to accept something that doesn't make any sense.

That's not true, Miranda, Sammy, and the Fairies don't hate him. J doesn't hate him either; he was just confused. Plus all the characters that were simply "indifferent".

lol, but what i meant was that he's completley different from the rest. So, at times, they would think.... things... well, you know, about him being a demon, and not, well..... blarg, you know what I mean XD

Technically it's not really filler because it does establish a few things that move along the story. It's just not very exciting.
