I hate it when someone makes a DTA, a lot of skilled artists enter it, including their not-as-skilled friend. And then they PICK THEIR FRIEND to win. And that friend could always just do a design trade. Especially when the other competitors worked twelve times as hard on their entries. Also the friend always ends up NEVER using that character again, but if they had picked someone else, that character would have been put to great use. It's just really unfair. I've seen someone who had two of their friends enter in separate DTAs, and BOTH FRIENDS WERE WINNERS. Like come on that is NOT FAIR, more than one???????? I'd say one is good but TWO? Absolutely NOT. And they didn't even put too much effort into their entries! Like yeah a backstory, reference, and some art but it wasn't even their best. Moral of the story, when you select only your friend to win DTA it really angers other people
