draculaz - why let it bother you? Some people like to post quick images for fun, some take more time, and some post only their best work maybe once or twice a year. Just imagine a gallery full of hobbit's and roobol's and jjsmlee's - wonderful artwork, but you'd only need to visit once a month to see all the new stuff. Sure, I've been "campaigning" (some people would use a less polite word) for an upload limit of one per day, but I certainly wouldn't go as far as saying every piece of work a person uploads should be honed to perfection. I know that none of my pieces are - not even close. Now, if we were in the Max or Maya or Lightwave forum I'd be taking a very different line. I'd be with you all the way - either post something worth looking at or don't post at all. But that's because these packages are pro packages. If someone renders a reflective ball over water in Max they should be strung up by the booleans. But Bryce and Poser are affordable hobbyist software, something that anyone can pick up and use straight away, so to assume that everyone should post a perfect image is a little naive and also unfair. This also translates to comments. Many of the people commenting are commenting from their own perspective and artistic merit, and may therefore think that the default wave texture on the default cone is the greatest thing they've ever seen. And who knows, maybe it is. But so what? You don't have to take notice of every comment. So cool down a bit! ;) If you're pissed that work you think is inferior has beaten yours in competition, or gets more comments, then get used to it! Produce something that leaves people in no doubt. Honestly, do you think that everybody is happy with their competition placings or number of comments? But they don't complain, they just try again! I'll let you into a secret: I was very disappointed with my placing in the last cover competition - to be honest I thought the judging sucked. IMO there was one person who should've beaten me (go Rochr!! :)))) and he did, but the others...? : But I didn't complain, I just posted my image in the gallery and let the comments tell the story. Next cover contest, I'll enter again. And then again. And then I'll win. Simple as that :) My advice - don't waste your energy complaining, just use the time to practice your artwork!
