The name of the person I assume y'all are talking about is a German name. A good friend of mine who works in Germany has a girlfriend with this name and it's fairly common. Maybe they don't speak English and have used Babelfish or something to come up with a comment that conveys their pleasure in viewing the image? Though, if that's so, it's about the best Babelfish translation I've ever seen, considering the gibberish it puts out whenever it gets confused - lol
My comments are pretty similar because of the few things that cause me to speak to the image in the first place - typically either textures(my favorite), depth of shading, image composition or a particularly nice flame. And, being a working stiff, I can only check out new stuff in a big chunk a few times a week. Or I'll pop up here when I've got a render going or a particular image has fought me to a standstill and I need to step away. Occasionally I comment on colors that really grab me, too. Encouragements can be pretty similar, too. I mean, there are only so many ways you can say "nice job", ya know? At least in English - lol
c-ya!
