About 99.9999...... percent of artists here don't read or follow instructions properly. For example in my book of art job offer I asked for email addresses, only a couple people actually gave me an email address. It's a bad habit to get into, it's unprofessional and can be annoying to the client/employer. I'm laid back about it but many employers just throw out an application if the artists failed to follow instruction and the employer has every right to do that. An employer that gets hundreds of applications doesn't want an artist that can't follow the simplest of instructions.

you know I went through your whole forum post to be sure I hadn't done that at some point. I'm normally very careful but everyone has slipups XD
Yeah, most of the applications I've gotten for the position with my book cover never sent me ANYTHING I asked for. I got more applications involving cartoon styles and anime than anything else (when I asked specifically for anyone with that style to not apply, it's not what I'm looking for) and other people cursed me out because they didn't read the entire thing and got a polite denial.
Now I'm just sick of it though. To get this many messages (and all of them half-hearted) months after I announced that the position is filled is just... bad.

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and =Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. As of recent, the talented =Behana has joined us in bringing you this weekly newsletter and we are excited to have her on board. This is a special feature, with a selection of 50 manips from the past year that we loved.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
