Small lesson .
Aigoo = Aw Man! ( usually in a face desk sort of way ) in Korean 아이구 ( common Hangul writing ). The Internet version is Aigu! which pretty much means "Oh my God!". I have a tendency to say it when I finally have given up. So today it's Aigu! Hwaiting! (Fighting! = Pretty much means , All Right! Let's go! ).
I think I might have found a art site that isn't riddled with drama after all these years. If you must know it has been 6 years since I joined dA , and 2 years since I formally left and stopped posting on it. I tried a couple of other sites for a bit ( mainly being Shadowness , ArtUprorar , GFX Artist , etc.... ) and largely found them having alot of user problems.
Another thing I noticed was that there was alot of Elitism ( dA is notorious for it ) and the thought that if you drew or did work like one popular artist you will be popular by default sort of thing. That really turned me off because there is sooo much Anime on there and it all looks the same , save a few artists that put thier own twists on it. There were also alot of famous artist copiers. It was really out of hand , so I ended up leaving because it started to make me feel bad about my own art , because people have always stated that it was unique and that I have my own style and it was easy to pick out. I don't know still to this day if that is a good or bad thing , but there is no changing it.
I've kept to posting strictly to my journal and sketchblog for the most part , outside of published work , I don't put anything on the net. I've only been here a couple of days , but I have a better taste in my mouth then I did with dA when I first joined. I've gotten some really nice welcomes and have already seen work that caught my eye ( mainly in Traditional art ) and made me look at it.
So all in all , I'm glad I joined. I'm not exactly sure how I got invited , or by who for that matter. I'm glad I joined. It will be nice to be a part of a productive art community for once.
Hmm , what else? I *think* I've gotten the hang of the customization setup and whatnot. I like the control you have over the page for the most part. It's a nice change from alot of gallery based sites. I'm still working on mine , and I hope to clean it up. I wish Sony would officially release gamercards , and I wish MS would make one that wasn't butt ugly , but you can't have everything in life right?
Anyways , Hi everyone , here's to hopefully a long relationship.

… Sorry, only know japanese, guess thats stupid of me to post that, since I deep down know there´s a big difference. And I feel much the same like you do, about both dA and Artician. At least I know I will work my fullest to make sure Artician stays a positive and prosperious place.
We so look forward to hearing more positive feedback from users, and you certainly are one of them. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing you around bud.
Kick your feet up, sit back, and make yourself at home. And Like akujin said so very simply... "We don't do drama".
PS: You are now a beta tester, as per your request. Danny added you late last night.
