Agreed, and on top of that people should let him draw WHAT he wants as well. All of you probably know this already but, he does some amazing BE and BI that is not berry related. People should stop screaming for just that one thing. No matter what he creates, chances are its going to be good.

I am simply glad we need not remain on high alert. A nice low alert would be a good change of pace.

This is one example of body inflation I do like, I normally don't like BI myself, i'm more of a BE guy.

i wonder why things went to pot so badly.
i remember when i first discovered this stuff online, it used to be so damn vibrant and now its scarce.
what happened to create the void we're at now?

New members to the community did not understand etiquette and in their stupidity they complained to site hosts and site managers which promptly shut down the groups or sites. As we progressed further those that remained became disillusioned with the state of things and gave up.
With the updates of yahoo groups even fewer people post due to the substandard forum that yahoo provided.
Finally the individualization and personalization of the internet makes things different for each user so it is like a fog of information that while I see one thing you see something entirely different.
Tumbler gives some hope but I wait and see in hopes of a second renaissance. There are a lot of new artist yourself in particular that have great potential, but time will tell.

That . . . sums it up just about perfectly.

As far as the current state of things, I can attest that there is quite a bit of berry art out there currently, and new pieces being made all the time. Are things as vigorous as they used to be? NO.

Why? If I had to guess, I feel like it is because berry artists are so scattered. In the good old days we has sites dedicated to nothing but berries. You barely see any of those any more, and if you do, they are run by a single artist who only allows their own art to be posted. Now I find berry artists mixed in deeply with general inflationisrts, and while most inflationists like a berry now and then, they don't support artists who create nothing but berries as much. It would be wonderful if we could band together, like back when we had exblue.

More to the point, it's really a douchebag move to tell an artist - any artist - to draw something he's publicly stated he can't stand, or not to draw something he loves drawing. You'd have a better chance of eating an entire whale piecemeal than of changing the mind of someone you set out to offend.

do you think that there's anything that can be done to get things "bumping" again?

i think we all need some kind of hub.
a site that has a good deal dedicated to the whole berry expansion thing.
someplace outside the confines of DA where berry artists and admirers can accumulate.
but then that still leaves the original problem of people's attitude and lack of etiquette.

you'd think that with the Process having as many members as it does, that there would be more activity on this part of the forum.
but i understand that not everyone on this site is into the whole blueberry thing.

we need to get more people flocking here.

hmmmmmmm.......
the wheels in my head be turning, they be.
