plagiarism

noun
noun: plagiarism; plural noun: plagiarisms
the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

It seems I collected a piece of plagiarized work recently and I want to apologize to the original photographer. As there are hundreds of new works on DeviantArt each day sometimes it is difficult to spot the ripoffs. If anyone ever finds a plagiarized work in my collection please notify me, not for my own sake but for the sake of the original artist.

As for those ripping off other's work, just stop. You'll get caught and probably banned. Appreciate their work, collect their work, but don't try to pass it off as your own. That's the lowest of the low.

I am getting a little... worn, of some of the more generalized categories that I use to collect art. While it will take months to accomplish, I am thinking about refining the categories to better describe what deviations I favorite.

The questions then are these:
Do I base the categories on artistic qualities? Should I base them on erotic qualities, keeping in line with the theme I have entertained? Should I base them on feelings I experience when I view the deviations? How, in fact, should I proceed?

I'll think on it. The trick is not to think on it so long that I put it off, because the undertaking of resorting is going to be enormous.

You do not know me. I could be wealthy. I could be poor. I could be witty. I may be dull. I could be a man. I could be a woman. I could be a mere child. I could be aged and wise beyond years.

Perhaps I am mean, kicking whatever dog I see. Perhaps I rescue those in need and give my time to charities. I may be a critic, with the most refined tastes that all look up to. Or maybe I am the one that draws on bathroom walls. Maybe I am both.

I am formless and nameless, a nothing to you that you have conceived an ideal of, shaped by your experiences, your passions and your needs. But I am not those things. I am me.

You do not know me, nor I you. You should not care what I think of you. I should not matter, one bit, to you.

First let me say I am always fully clothed! :P

Basically I have hundreds of artists watched. Every single one of them was found and reviewed by myself because at some point they contributed something beautiful. Keep in mind that does not guarantee they continue submitting artistic works, or that art makes up the majority of the work they have submitted. Regardless, people, hundreds, are watched.

Every day I get small breaks between my own projects. Usually somewhere between 10-40 minutes. It's during these small breaks I start going through the messages each day, somewhere between 600-1200, depending on the level of inspiration Deviant members have experienced.

And then I fav. Not everything, probably not even 10%. Sometimes an image is faved purely for it's erotic content. Sometimes for it's sheer artistry. The idea behind the collection, other than an appreciation of female beauty at every level is also to overwhelm the viewer. To be stunning. To shock. To soothe. To arouse! To make the viewer think. To experience... something.

Whatever emotion you personally experience when viewing these works collected side by side just remember that each artist was motivated to pick up the tools of their trade and take action. They were inspired to create. That my friends, is the best any of us can strive for.

It's long overdue yet well deserved; "Thanks" to every artist who has contributed the Deviations that I collect.

A quick (or long) look at my Favorites tends to reveal my preference for the female form in all of it's beauty. Yet I feel from some of the comments and notes I receive that my appreciation is misunderstood... I do not view these images as pornographic or as 'spank' material. At no point has this site been used, by myself, as a device for any sort of physical release.

I do, however, LOVE the female body in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, it's sexual beauty and power. Every woman is unique, every body to be celebrated. Every emotion expressed in an image to be drunk in, like a fine wine (swished around in the proverbial mouth and savored, each nuance given attention and appreciation). Many times those images and the forms and emotions expressed are meant to be overtly sexual. I am fine with that, as sex is an integral part of the human condition - you and I would not be here without such intense erotic desires and there resulting couplings.

And there is even beauty in that.

So thank you, however you express the beauty. Know that it is appreciated and given proper diligence.
