First of all, its strange why some of you think its fair to give my words less weight just because I dont have a gallery. I posted this thread because I think its a good thing to help others with their art, to give guidelines. It gives every artist a good feeling to look at her/his art and to see the improvements. So what has this to do with me having a gallery or not? You lost me here. I love helping and guiding people and thats also why I posted not long ago a thread in which I tried to guide others with some tips. The reason why I dont have a gallery is because I dont need one here at Renderosity. Im in the process of developing a large Photoshop related site with a small group of people and my art will be posted in a gallery on that site. The same gallery will also include some of my vector art and images I did with Cinema 4D and Vue dEsprit. Ive came up with an example of how it took 5 images and 20 comments before someone tried to guide the artist, regardless if his advice was fair or not. Nobody commented on this. Ive also provided a link that I added to explain in more than just mere words what I mean by good critique, again, nobody commented. I can dig up some old threads that prove that there are more people like me who have some concerns about the way people comment. Also nobody seems to remember these threads. Since this doesnt turn into an open discussion, Ive just decided to not to spend anymore words on this, I guess, controversial subject. I want to apologize for the use of the word cowards, but my lack of English also means that I tend to use the wrong words for the wrong occasions. Have a nice day.
