I think both are what catches my eye. But when you are talking about a site like this, where I can see the same artist post many works over time. No matter how creative and wild the idea/imagination is, if the person never works on their technical skills, I lose interest. To me, neglect of getting better technically is laziness. And tells me that the artsist doesn't really care about the viewer at all, but only for their own outlet. I also think that with time, technical skill will improve in 90% of artists just because of time spent in a given program. With those that I have witnessed here that do not improve at all, it makes me wonder exactly what the point of thier time doing this is about. If it is for self gratifacation, with no intent to improve, then I eventually just pass everything by that artist. Lastly, This is an art site. Art is for the mind, of course, but to get to the mind it comes through the eyes. And for me, I would rather gaze at a wonderfully done work of a simple idea, than an interesting creative idea that looks terrible. Just my $0.02
