Can I also suggest DD's?

Journal Entry: Thu Jun 18, 2009, 11:45 PM
Many artists ask themself:
"Can I also suggest DD's?
"How do I know an image is good enough for this?"



The answer to the first question about daily deviations is simple.
:nod: "Yes, you can!" :nod:
I do it on a regular basis. Most for the 3D gallery since I know this kind of art best. But I suggest also works from other galleries if I am impressed enough. If you are curious how it works technically, it is well explained in the faq behind this [link] if you follow this [link] you can find a very good tutorial and behind this [link] is a great tool which makes DD suggestion very easy.


The second question is much harder and I can only tell you how I choose deviations to suggest.
:tribute: 1. The image has already to look interesting for me as a thumbnail.
:tribute: 2. The image has to be technically good and gives me the impression the artist put more effort then usual in this special picture.
:tribute: 3. It has to impress me enough to be favorited/collected at first sight.
:tribute: 4. The picture tells a story, or got a message, or makes me think.
:tribute: 5. I got the impression quite some other people may like it also. Best is if I think it may meet the taste of the specific gallery director. (this impoves hit rate)
:tribute: 6. I can justify/explain why I choose this specific image.
:tribute: 7. I also like other images of this artist and I think some more attention for her/his works can not hurt.

You see, your work hast to be top quality to be suggested by me. But there are every month some which qualify. Of course not every suggestion is sucessful, but don't let this discourage you. After all you are not the only person who makes suggestions and there are many amazing artists.
