Anyone want to take a guess at which artist this secret is referring to?

Or, OP, will you brave enough to tell us?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, sure, here

I'm guessing SPN and Lettie. I still think her art is cute, but it's definitely very stylized, much more than it used to be, and she does draw a lot of stuff that is.. out there. I used to follow her when she was just starting out on LJ and I liked her style back then a lot more than I do her current one.

[(Anonymous)]

best thing to do with people who succumb to the siren song of fame and let their skills go is to ignore them and instead go follow people who still work hard and keep improving and trying new things

sorry, op

[Picture is a tumblr post. The user's icon has been replaced with, uh, a green bell pepper? Or something that looks like it.]

There's this fanartist for one of my fandoms on tumblr I used to follow. Before they had really cute (and hot) ideas for my One True Pairing and drew them. Her art wasn't perfect but it was really adorable so I liked it.

Now, though, she's become much more popular, and has gone along to draw really weird things for my One True Pairing and hasn't done anything from her earlier Alternate Universes that I loved. The worst thing, though, is it seems her art got worse.

I unfollowed her because I realized I no longer wanted her dozens of doodles on my dash anymore. People still reblog her stuff and I cringe every time.

Too long; didn't read: Abloobloobloo, I want stuff I like.

I feel the a similar way about reapersun in the BBC Sherlock fandom

[(Anonymous)]

yeah i prefer reapersun's older style but i guess all artists have to develop and stuff ya know

ya know

[(Anonymous)]

I thought it was her before I clicked through to the comments.

[(Anonymous)]

she was my first thought, tbh

[(Anonymous)]

Whhhhaaaaa? I love reapersun. And the porn. Mmmm the porn.

[(Anonymous)]

man IDK, I will always have a soft spot for reapersun since people tried to campaign to have her fired from her job for drawing m/m smut and that's bs

[(Anonymous)]

so basically your secret is that you used to like something, and now you don't anymore?

except that you have all this other language where you also act like you're personally affronted

[(Anonymous)]

It happens to every artist and if you don't like something anymore, it's okay to move on. It's okay to be nostalgic for the old days too.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh no, a fan artist isn't drawing what you like anymore.

Go cry a river, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess in your blind rage you don't notice how the very last line in the secret shows that OP acknowledges that.

[(Anonymous)]

This comment could be made about every single secret here.

And that's why I can never understand you people. You'll cream your pants over a secret that is completely meaningless and petty, then turn around and castigate someone for...making a secret that is completely meaningless and petty.

[(Anonymous)]

I have this former friend who absolutely hates this one artist on DA now because she used to draw fancomics of the ex-friend's favorite series, but now focuses almost exclusively on he original content, characters, and series. So Exie will use any chance they get to hate on this artist for 'not catering to the fans who made her big/have stuck with her so long!!!1' It's the weirdest, most entitiled thing, and it soured my overall outlook on them unfavorably.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, so I was nodding in agreement until I realised you'd pulled the dick move of naming the person.

Not cool

[(Anonymous)]

I don't get why that's such a big deal.

That person has made her stuff publicly available. She has opened herself up to comment, be it good or bad. You wouldn't complain if someone went around praising her; why do you care if someone shares a negative opinion about her?

[(Anonymous)]

OP, and I guess we all just have differing views. Namedropping to me isn't that big of a deal, especially when people here have been mentioning other artists to figure out who it could have been here.

To me the anon who felt the need to send her a message pulled a dick move because they only wanted to create drama, and did.

[blitzwing]

Gimp pepper! <3

[(Anonymous)]

tumblr savior her url and done! you will never see any post that originates from her blog (though you won't see any post that mentions her in passing, either. don't know if that's a problem for you)

[(Anonymous)]

At first I thought that this was in reference to someone I used to know, but thankfully it's not. Especially since this person I knew was notorious for tracing pictures and passing them off as their own. I'd hate to see her get popular especially since the quality of her original (non-traced) drawings has gone way downhill.

I went to the blog of the person that this secret is about, and their art isn't that bad? But I can understand you being annoyed if they're drawing stuff that you're not interested to see. But... You could have just unfollowed them and leave it at that? No need to tell everyone who it is. Hopefully you can find an artist that draws stuff that you like.

[(Anonymous)]

If that art's considered worse than before then wow do I feel shit about my own art level.
