Well.....might as well throw my 1.5 cents in here. :D Seeing Renderosity as a relatively new member, I guess I can agree with most of what has already been said. I don't get very many views or comments, and sometimes it bugs me, but more often than not it doesn't bother me at all, because I am so new that I think the majority of the stuff I have put out so far is not very good compared to some of the amazing work I have seen here. Plus each pictures takes about a week or more for me to do. I try to comment as much as possible, although lately some medical issues have prevented me from being online as much. I am very guilty of leaving 'fluffy' comments, myself, although I have offered suggestions in the past. I haven't been shot down for them, but all of those types of comments received no reply at all. shrug But I REALLY appreciate it when people offer me constructive criticism, it can only help me get better. Most of the time I NEED someone else to tell me what I have done wrong, because I have been looking at an image for so long I can't see the temple for the naked Vickys. Hehehehe. I did enter a contest in my first few weeks here, and got very wonderful feedback from the nice woman who ran the contest, but then sat back and saw all the people with the most friends get the most votes. I didn't vote for myself, because that seemed counterproductive, so I got no votes. But I had fun making the image, and that was really all that mattered to me in the end...I have never nor will I probably ever be popular in any venue, so this is nothing new for me. grinz Ooops...wrote a book, sorry.
