RE: 6 of my Steemit paintings on Trending page on ArtStation
Thanks, but there are many guys with higher calibre on ArtStation, today must have been a slow day, and I certainly won't last long there... this was a fluke that's never happened to me before. :)
Having said that, it would be easier if we could use more than 1 keyword to sort our feeds here on Steemit. Like for instance "Art" "Painting"... or if Photographers could stop using Art as a tag... because when I filter for Art, half of it is photos. Wonder what they would say if we painters started using "Photography" tag?
Half of the rest is not Art at all, but talking about Life, Steemit or Crypto.
You create fantastic things... so just keep going!!
one thing i don''t agree with: Photography CAN be art... but paintings can not be photography ;-)
I believe paintings deserve more credits than photographs (most of the time) even though i am a photographer :-)
It's true photography is art, but it's not about the definitions here, it's about the tags, which I think should be considered purely as abstract folders or directories. For instance, let's call "Photography" tag X and "Art" tag Y.
In this case X is profitable for people who post photos, and Y is also profitable for them. But for people who post paintings and drawings, only Y can be used, not X. So it's slightly unfair. :)
i get it... and you are right!
Those types of filters are a thing that is being requested/suggested over and over and over again. As far as I know, still waiting for a front end to implement it.
Aww photography is totally art! They have to think about lighting and composition too :D I think I get where you're coming from though, I spent years and years on dA and there were several people that kept putting their work in the 3d gallery even though it was totally and completely not 3d. That was the beginning of the end of browsing tags and trending pages for me.
