hmmm I agree totally with midnightblue. Even though its hurtful, dont give people like that the satisfaction of knowing they have contributed to a reluctance to post your art ( which is very lovely, i looked ) Indeed i would take their comments with a tiny grain of salt, as they are so obviously reeking of jealousy and lack of inspiration. Re the emulation of someones style... that is indeed correct, i know because when i first started fractaling, my inspiration came from Jackie ( lulu18 ) who has the most beautiful touch with a spiral i had ever seen. She is also the one who taught me how to use Apophysis, and gave me heaps of support with UF. There are always critics, and often the worst and nastiest critics are the ones who lack much artistic skill. Like Vicky said, hold your head up high... be proud of your work, dont be hesitant to show it off, and definitely dont let some small, narrow minded, amateur critic take away your pleasure in creating.
