I think that everyone reaches a point where their art is slammed by someone who can't find his butt with both hands. They usually leave a bad rating, a comment that doesn't have to do with the quality of the piece, and a general bad feeling. Usually it comes when you start doing really good work. Some people can't stand for talent to exist in others. I've had people leave a bad rating and no comment, usually on pieces that reflect my lifestyle. Suddenly I've got 7 wonderful commnets, and my rating drops from excellent to fair for no reason. Just someone's way of expressing disapproval for my content, not the quality of the art itself. No advice for improvement, just a sudden drop in rating with no way to ask "why?" Personally, I think they're the gods' way of making the normal, considerate, real people try harder. Just to make up for the b*stards. People who were taught manners and positive ways of dealing with others make an extra effort. BTW, it's a great piece. I love the colors and composition. A wonderful Halloween piece. Now back to the chicken I'm cooking, I didn't raise it, but I'm calling it MY dinner.
