I'm sure i'm going to get flamed for this, but here it goes.
By creating an invisible unregestered elite, we deal out the cards on who's superior and inferior, which strictly speaking isn't fair. Kthanid, for example, isn't a great artist, but comes up with the most clever pictures. I couldn't draw a monkey's ass (Those things are hard to draw!) but I make all the sprite comics at the Digimon Hentai Zone, and i'm getting a good fanbase from it because it's funny. Then, of course, we completly ignore the colorists, whom many would argue do a much harder job than many artists. I understand people are just expressing their favoritism of artists, but creating a distinctive group really begins to form the idea of outcast, or not up to par. I remember the first time I joined the DAD i did it for the soul reason of fanpower and to be among the invisible elites, as they were at the time, Bossreo, Redrover, Sonimon, and Togashi. Of course I was dissapointed to find that authors never seem to be respected soully (SP?) for writing, but I made a few author freinds who had been trying to get fans for nearly a year, and were always ignored. they wouldn't mind really if that group of the 'higher ups' didn't exist, i recall one of them saying. What's my point? It's fine to talk about your favorite artists, but when you create a group or collection that stand clearly above the rest, you truly are creating an aura of inferiority.
...Let the flaming and rude replies commence.
