DA--- sometimes works!

As I've said previously in other posts, I find the "Daily deviation" criteria is quite random at deviantART. Sometimes I really wonder what the heck happens in the people that features works at there. But sometimes they also do right ellections.

Actually I'm surprised because this Slayers work by Ly-xu, a chinesse artist (which is obvious, btw) has

I don't know how they do daily deviations, either. I remember when Zanne posted the Ultimate Sesshoumaru Plush that she did (and omg, that thing is gorgous http://zanne.deviantart.com/art/The-Ultimate-Sesshoumaru-Doll-21010401), she was noted by one of the mods that she had been suggested for a Daily Deviation, but that they weren't going to select her work because it had too many views or she was already popular (or some other bullshit) so they featured her in a journal instead. The reasoning was that they wanted to feature little known artists whose work is exceptional, but I've seen SEVERAL people who have gotten more than one Daily Deviation, so I don't know what the reasons behind it are anymore.

Not saying this picture doesn't deserve it, I think it's amazing!

Ah, yes! The Sesshoumaro push! I remeber that and I agree, it's a wonderful work, even if I'm not into Inu-Yasha.
I didn't know that work of hers was chategorized as "possible daily deviation". But even if I agree with the reasoning of "we don't choice pics that are already that popular", happens it is NOT truth.
So yes, I can see why you say you don't understand their reasons to make a pic as "daily deviation".
I've noticed mostly of the daily-deviation fanarts pics use to happen the most popular works among the most popular fanartis in certain fandom. So that excuse is just crap.

Besides, what about the danmn "green flower" that was a daily deviation? And what about all those bourdel photos than the creepy old man takes everytime he visits it? Get the out here! Those don't deserve any recognition like this at all.

I agree, they don't! And what about all those "shock" pictures of people pulling intestines out or cutting their throats or *shudder* the one where the woman looked like she was slicing her tongue in half? I don't want to see that!

---But I totally agree about the Ly-Xu's ellection ^_^

Oh, I do, too, I'm just saying that their way of choosing them is a little odd, and we don't see enough fanart being honored, either.

Ly-xu's picture totally deserves it.
