Ugh, y'know what I hate (and I'm only putting it here because I'd get flamed on DA), Art contests where votes decide who wins. I mean, in a group my Tails pic was put up for best picture. Sure, the background was incomplete, the anatomy was slightly off, and the colors a tiiiiiny bit weird. But I'm loosing 15 to 45 to a pic of Chao Tails with no shading, a simple background, and that looks like hardly any effort wa put into it. Why? Because the only thing people see is a cute picture of Tails and go "ZOMG TAILS KUN! KAWII-DESU!!!!11111!!!! MUST VOTE NOOOOW!". No. They vote 'cause it's cute. Other artists work hours on end but a picture that looks like it took 50 minutes at best wins because it "kawii". Well, so much for artistic merit.

End rant.
