Artist's Comments

This tutorial is written with new/ light user deviants in mind. Its a guide to help deviants write better more useful comment. Comment writing on Deviant art has been lost for quite some time. Comments like "Nice pic" or "Cool :) " just don't make the grade. I hope that this tutorial helps folks understand how writing better comments can help them make friends, gain respect, and help their fellow artists grow.

After the recent moving of categories, and restructuring of galleries, I thought it was time to resubmit this to its new and rightful place.

I rewrote much of it and added a more current example. I corrected it so now you can read it rather then just looking at the thumbnail.

Good idea and well set out. The difficulty, as always, is getting the right people to read it... And there will always be some whose command of the English language is limited to "cool pic". What we need is a way to get all new users to see this item... um... do you suppose it could be included in the "Etiquette" section? I've no idea who you ask about such things. Let me know if you need votes or something to get it there :) Oh, and "woot!" ;)

LOL....

Thank you.... Thats a great Idea about included in the etiquette. If I need any help I'll be sure to let you know.

Great comment btw ;P

i think its a really good idea to write a "tutorial" like this, but as Obenson has said, we should make this more available for new deviants to read.

If there is a forum for new users, you should post a link in there.

I have seen a few good texts like this on DA, some are even humourous, but still give out some good info, i think these should all be linked on the FAQ pages.

I'd love to get it put out in faq. Unfortunately, I think it would have to be DTF or something to get noticed enough for that to happen... and I just don't have that amount of popularity around here so I don't really know if it will happen but I'm looking into ways perhaps.

Cool :D, nah just foolin with ya. Great this is really handy and I know a few newbies who I can recommend it to. Great concept and idea. You need to make it more avaliable to newbies more somehow though. All in all a great piece

COOL PIC :)

Of course, just kidding. I think it's great that you're attempting to correct the "cool pic :)" comment problems. The guide was pretty simple and easy to understand, and I think I'll try to keep its points in mind when commenting on things in the future. That was also a pretty interesting example pic you chose for a sample comment in your tutorial. I thought maybe it was a little redundant to put that the tutorial was by you twice (on the top and the bottom) since example comments from you were used in it and of course it will have your name on the top of the screen when you post it.. but it's probably a good idea in case anyone would try to take it or something. ^^

I'll 'tells 'yah, if more people would give constructive comments 'round this place .. this place would be, uhh .. an estimated 100 times better.

:O

They should take heed to your well written words as well. A spiff write up .. something an English professor would do for struggling, uh .. student-commenters.

:laughing:

:thumbsup:

Why didn't you make this into an HTML 'tut though?

Works either way, however.

=P
