Ironically I suffer from this illness as well. My adult renders get pretty high praise in the community I cater too. Sadly, people jump on the band wagon so much that sometimes I'll post a piece of crap and they say its great. I actually appreciate people who critique my stuff fairly. Getting inaccrate praise makes me get lazy at times. Yes, I can get an ego tick now and then especially when a critique is nothing more than "it sucks" but when its constructive I can deal with it way better. The other problem is that other artists who are actually doing better don't get the recognition they deserve. I have an online pal who does erotic work as well and does stuff that blows me away. We are constantly up-ing the anti on each others' renders. Sadly, since I have a more dominant name in our field, I get praise while he gets very little return, which upsets me cause I know at times he's doing way better with his work. Accurate and fair critique is important.
