MR Account + new WK poll

Journal Entry: Sat Mar 8, 2008, 8:58 AM
I'm not sure this is really a good idea but I opened an account on MangaRevolution
The website is rather userfriendly, and there's some nice stuff around.
What I like the most is the tutorial part. Easy to find and to browse. Two points for MR.

The layout is not GREEN and there are no ads everywhere and you don't have to pay to feel confortable and the profile section is nice. Three points for MR.

MR wants to be a little more elistist than DA, which is not a bad idea in the first place, but the consequence is that popularity contest spirit over there seems to be even crazier than DA's, with the style points and favs and watchs and friends and page hits and page views and levels and senior votes etc. Crazy, I tell you. I don't think the whole "junior"/"senior" categories as they are make any sense, too. Two points for DA.

But at least you can appear on the front page for more than 0,00000001 second ! Whoa. One point for MR, until it becomes as crowded as DA.

And there's an important thing that irks me on MR : I just hate the fact that the drawings bigger than 400x400 are poorly resized on every pages. Isn't it stupid, for an art site, not to have a proper way to display, well, ART ? And it's a pain in the ...eerr, art, to have to make your thumbnails yourself, too.
Ten points for DA.

In the end I still prefer DA, but MR is quite a nice place too, if you like the style and want to see only drawings.


Also, I'm still in my WK fangirlism crisis, so please feel free to take my Weiss Kreuz Polls ^^ !

NEW : What part of the Weiss Kreuz universe do you prefer ?
Which non-official WK pairing do you prefer ? (can be BL, het, yuri)
Who is your favourite WK character ?

FAQ

It's here. Please read it before asking something :).

I received several notes about that lately so it seems that I have to insist on some points :
- I DON'T allow people to use my drawings, for any reasons, clubs, websites, forums, RPG, and so on... There's no need to send me notes about that : the answer is, now and forever, NO sorry :s.
- I don't take any commissions for the moment.

Cognac! They offered me Cognac. I don't even drink Cognac, so I said "Fire that sonnuvabitch up & throw it at my head." -Lewis Black.

Ca m´a l´air bien sympa MR, je m´y inscrirai bien mais j´avoue pas tout comprendre ~.~...
Faudrai que je mette mon nez un peu plus dedans.

Ah oui faut aussi que je regarde un peu ce WK ^^. Je te dirai ce que j´en pense =)
:iconfrazzled-niya:
MR gives more "professional" look and you know you won't get as much bad art as you do here...MR is a nice community. DevART I find is only nice within your own watch group and maybe a few passer byers.

Neither really are better then each other...I still don't like dA but I don't really have anywhere else to post art unfortunently. =T

Hmmm.... Maybe it would look professional if all the pics weren't badly resized on about every page ^^; they have serious image display issues :/.
But it's true that the overall art level is slightly better than on DA, there are less "hyper-top artists" (or I didn't find them yet) but also much less "myspace doodles" ...
:iconfrazzled-niya:
hmmm, maybe you could make a suggestion to the admin team. *rubs chin*
(I don't think I have seen any XD)...As far as I've seen some of the ';popular' artists over here that are over there are still well grounded and don't hate but do hate the whole "popularity" thing. o_O Did that make sense....and myspace snap shots ;-;
