I have to agree with The Bryster. "You could always add a rider to the title of your piece. Something like: 'give it to me straight'(as others have said) or 'constructive crits only'....or even...'Just for Fun!'" Draculaz... I think that your statment, "There's a difference between artwork and trash, and very few people are able to create artwork. Attempting to create artwork is something else, that requires varying degrees of talent." was very uncalled for. Nobody's work is trash. Some people, like myself, don't have time to sit in front of their computer 24/7 and play around with all the different parts of Bryce to become a master overnight... I have stretches of sometimes months where I put in a solid 15 hours of work a day and can't sit down to play with Bryce. That doesn't mean that my work is trash. And if I can't see anything I would do different in an work that someone is doing, that doesn't mean I don't have an eye for art. AND if I like what someone has done. I don't see where it is a bad thing to tell the artist that I like it just the way it is.... or as some people put it... Nice Render. I am disappointed in your statements. Don't get me wrong though. I am not flaming you... just disappointed in your statements and being critical. I like your work. Dialyn... you have a point in what you said that stands pretty true I think as well... "in truth, it is the nature and habit of the viewers that you would need to change to get the kind of feedback you want." I agree with you tuttle in that it is the criticisms that will make the artist better. That is the only reason I post any of the images I do.... which are not too many. As a matter of fact you will only find one that I have ever posted in the gallery. I would rather use the forum for criticism and would figure that the gallery would be a place for finished works. I am looking for feedback when I post something I am working on, good and bad. I am wanting to make my work the best it can be. This is why I post anything I am working on.... to get feed back.

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't.
