" I'd hazard a bet that some of the "myfriendsinflatemyego-itis" is actually "Iinflatemyownegothroughmultipleaccounts-itis" Someone puts up a piece not suitable for even fish wraping and gets great and glowing comments are quite likely worse talent, no talents friends or his own 'puppet' accounts" Perhaps one or two comments would account for this, but not dozens. I've seen some pretty "amateur" images (sorry if I offend anyone with that descriptive term, but in 3D art, there is a pretty clear distinction) with literally a dozen or more "excellent" comments, and even votes for the top 20. It's one of the reasons I have not posted any of my works to this site. I like the site, don't get me wrong, and I'm not saying everyone is like that... but when I post an image, I do expect some people to commment honestly. I have posted several of my works to CGTalk under a different alias than I use here, but I'm still debating with myself if I should even bother posting to the galleries here. Most works here get burried and forgotten within an hour or less, and if people don't know you, they rarely comment on the pic anyway.
