Ways to progress in dA's #1 group

Dearest adored Doctrinaires,

At, Doctrinaire, quality control is now science. I'm so good I can make shit disappear like a single serving of Häagen-Dazs at a National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance rally. Criss Angel's on his knees for tips … *PRESTO*

Still, too much of anything, you know? It's exasperating. Like that relationship you hate yourself for clinging to, but are too pitiful to not. Like crying over a player, then yiffing the next dayer. Like superstitious after death gigs. Like on-and-on every day in every senseless way.

It's not like I jizz on this. Maybe a little. Nevertheless, here are a few clues that may help spare your art from digital disintegration, or simply make you a whole lot better.

Ogle the increasing yumminess of our artists and their efforts. Then, try to be objective. In comparison, does your work look elementary? Don't submit anything until you improve.

Have I removed one of your submissions and immediately requested another? That "another" is the lowest quality I want to see from you. Some of you need to solely bring your very best and then create better.

Are you a literary artist? That [Enter] button isn't the key to a weird, alternate dimension. Use it to create paragraphs. If you're illiterate, discover 'Spell Check'. No, it's not behind [Enter].

Are you a fractal artist? I've seen, done and know that jazz. It seldom moves me unless you way know what you're doing. It's just another color of the same old. Learn how to manipulate something. I've seen a couple of unique ones in our gallery. They likely aren't yours.

Are you a line, or sketch artist? I hope you're a very talented one. Such art can look like kid scratch, yesterday. See our resident legits. We've a few masters for you to learn from. You may need practice before you make me wish I'd never seen you.

Are you an abstract artist? I hardly have the words. Your worst should rival our sketch artists best. It can be beautiful and intriguing if you've talent and style. More often it's just busted.

Are you a photographer? So, you're geeking for that girl's badassical. Don't make me suffer, too. It's unfair. Switch-up just once. You'll like yourself for it and so will I. You may even finally get some.

Are you a photomanipulator? Chances are if you're experienced, you've seen one lovely dA female model who's in boundless renditions. Stop using that bitch in everything you do! She's wore-out beyond slore Angelina Jolie. Pick an ugly chick, or something. A dog. Anything. Have you no heart? I beg of you, if I never again see her face it'll be too soon.

Think about it, members. Most of this is mere common sense. You want to be the best you can be, and I want to help you achieve. It's one of the reasons I share my genius. Remember, there's no such thing as a useless question. Dumb perhaps, but no matter if you feel the desire. Simply ask if you really want to know. It's what I do.

Thanks, keep sharing and have fun.
