I know, no one will see this or care, but I don't, I just need to get it out there.
So, 7Legend. He's what I call a "muscle girl" and "boxing girl" artist. And, I guess one of the rare "muscle girl boxing" artists, seeing that 99% of his gallery, is filled with muscley boxing girl, either characters that are buffed up (usually characters from "moe shows" like K-ON or Lucky Star, or cute characters from shows that aren't "moe shows"), or his OCs, particually the character Sena, who 7Legend has admitted is his favorite, and about a huge percent of his art has this character, even having her in nude pics, and 7Legend's friends have drawn fan-art of the character. It should be noted 7Legend is chinese, so he doesn't have the best english, so he mostly speaks in emoticons.
I have been blocked from 7Legend's account multiple times. One is on my thatguywithsomeone account, which I have lost, due to a misunderanting, and after losing that account, I got another account, themassive, in which, feeling pissed at 7Legend, I posted something bad on his journal, and even after my attempts to apologize he blocked that account, and this account. I decided to get another account, novasene, to get to type on 7Legend, but I accidentally pissed him off, asking him about his comissions.
I have been asking Fersax, a close friend of 7Legend and a really nice guy, to help me apologize to him, but I dunno if he's willing to think 7Legend should forgive me.
So, 7Legend, due to work in school, isn't going to be able to draw for a while, and has posted his finally DAtion for a while, which, of course, is a fully body nude pic of Sena. And he has posted a new journal, that is very angry. I'll put it here.

Someone on DA are annoying!this is not the first time I complain there,it's not good.But,I want to say,what fuking those stupid guys are!They watch me,but said "I hate boxing gloves,you make me feel awful"to my every deviations!I try my best to share art with each other,and I open request/commission.Maybe my skill isn't good enough,but I ensure if you commission me,I try my best,better ask those who had commissioned me.If you want to see what you want without pay,it's daydream!I share,but not draw for you!And you don't want to have commission,ok,ok,am I your servant? Not one guys complain this or that,but they know what?
I love boxing girls with muscles,not muscle girl with boxing gloves!
DA is a good place,I make many friends there and get better and better.I go to DA everyday,cause I love there.I say this not for first time,right?What will I think after I see comment like this:"Good riddance to 7legend, I'm sick of his boxing fetish"?
How stupid and selfish they are!But they think they always right!
Sorry for complaining so much,I can't inhibit myself cursing those guys.And I want to say goodbye to everyone,I'll back to school.

OK, I'm sorry that 7Legend gets hate for these comments that tell him that are essentially missing the point, if he doesn't like boxing girls, he wouldn't go to a artist who primarly draws girls with boxing gloves. But, I'm sure, they are not submitting it to every deviation he has, he usually gets postive comments from watchers and fans, and hell, I'm a fan of his work. But, he has to learn to take criticism and understand that sometimes people aren't going to leave comments you like. It would be best he simply would remove them.
And in the note, he complains about the people who asked for comissions, due to people not paying for them, and claiming that he's not a servant to the people who ask for comissions. Well, 7L, it's that, you asked to do comissions instead of requests due to how you wanted to do comissions due to requests taking too long, so I find it immature that you started these comissions and then compeletely andanon. Yeah, I know, I'm fine with 7Legend making art for himself, but if he should put equal focus on requests, for his fans and watchers. Now, to be fair, I don't know if they payed or not, I don't got the whole story, but TheMuscleGG is the only one who got his request, which is avibable on his gallery.
He also references a comment made by Shen-fn-Woo made on another journal, and I would like to type/talk to him. I'll note what he said in the comments of this journal.

Excuse me, before you go complaining to your watchers, make sure you get your facts straight. The FIRST time I complained about your boxing gloves on one of your deviations was the LAST time I complained about your boxing gloves ON-YOUR-DEVIATION. And it wasn't even much of a complaint, rather the only "flaw" I saw running rampant throughout your artwork.
Yeah, I said good riddance to you, ON ANOTHER PERSON'S DEVIANT ART PAGE. I haven't said anything rude directly to you. Seeing someone draw the same shit over and over again, and I don't mean just repeated drawings, I mean stuff that literally looks like a different head on the same traced body in every-single-picture is NOT my forte, and I STOPPED watching you several months ago before I started complaining. I do NOT like seeing people stunt their artistic growth by indulging TOO MUCH in their stupid fetishes, that's why I stopped watching extremegirlfan's bullshit he calls artwork years ago. But by all means, keep listening to THESE guys, they have the best intentions for you in mind, and aren't here JUST to consume whatever drivel you come up with because it appeals to their interests. No no, they CARE about your talent, rather than your content, and would rather see you excel at that, and not just what kind of art you're doing.
For the record, since shit like this happens to fry people's common sense, I'll set things straight:
- I do NOT hate muscle girl art, and people should fucking know that by my gallery
- I do NOT hate boxing girl art
- I DO hate seeing the same shit being drawn over and over again, and am entitled to my opinion, and I will state it regardless of whether people think it's rude or not. It's because of people being simpletons thinking everything must be politely stated that others are slow to catch on and grow. I am NOT hounding you like I am EGF, and I really don't see any of my actions (2 fucking comments, wow) so far as being anywhere near journal complaint worthy, so you're already showing just how intolerant of a negative opinion you are.

I guess, I'm on the side of Shen-fu-Woo, mostly. 7L is getting a touch to sensitive, and he hasn't attacked 7L directly.
But, I'm not 100% with him. He's mad at 7L for drawing the same shit over and over and over again, with mimimal difference. Yeah, the guy has a consisent style, but asking him to have invidiual character design for each of his characters is too much. I admit, their is a bit of repetitveness in 7Legend's artwork, most of it being his "buff boxer girls" just standing around, usually posing, but that's the point, it's basically, showing off the body and psychique of these girls, and what I find intresting, is how he draws the psychiques and figures of each invidual one.
And stunting their artistic growth by including in their too many fetishes, well, I don't know how much 7Legend has a passion for musclaur women and boxing, he isn't a women himself and I doubt we are ever going to see a real-life photo of him, but he seems like he has a passion for what he's drawing, and yeah, it's a fetish, but there's a fetish for almost everything, this is the internet for god's sake! I will admit that I'm not particually in love with his nude pics, though, and it would be nice to get some more pics of the "buff boxer" girls fighting, or even just training in a gym or hell, being in a gym, instead of just standing around in a pose.
And 7Legend has improved his artwork between 2008 and now. His art has gotten a lot better, it now having color and a lot more added detail to it, that makes it look much more sharper.
Now, for my final words. I think 7Legend, is good at what he does, and it's that, his artwork isn't for everyone, it's for a niche audience, but he's slowly becoming one of the best at fullfilling his niche, and has definently come a long way. I do have faults with him, but I'll try to follow him on his path, even if that leads to more Sena art.
