I don't care if I ever make the top 20. That's not why I do things. I create pictures as part of the role-play I do, or to enhance someone else's game.

I prefer constructive critism or helpful encouragement over the "It's great" post. If an artist friend of mine posts a positive comment, I take that to heart, because I know here and her work. I also know she willl point out any problems she sees in an effort to help me learn.

That is what you should bee looking for.

P.S. I don't think I've ever looked at the TOP 20.
