I'm trying to work out how exactly to say this:

I greatly appreciate momodot's efforts. Critique is generally a gift, and would normally be very welcome in the efforts of perfecting things as much as possible. Therefore, thank you momodot.

However, I'm not requesting or accepting critique at thei stage of the project. Right now the mesh is being optimised for as completely average and central a shape as possible. Therefore several of the facial structures will not look 'right' to the eye -- not just the tragus of the ear, but the outer edge of the lips, the underside of the nose, and so on. This is because no real human has such an exact middle ground -- especially as this middle ground is being chosen to accommodate nonhumans as well.

I am concerned with the community passing judgement on my not paying attention to critiques. However, I'm also not asking for or accepting critiques at this time, and I won't be paying attention to them (the final two base human meshes -- those I may well accept and request critiques on, but not the phi base which is Sariel, and not yet.

Therefore, I'm asking people to please refrain from critiques, as it places me in an awkward situation, that of accepting a 'white elephant' gift, essentially. It's uncomfortable, and unnecesarily so. If I can't avoid them, I'm going to go back to not posting images in progress, and I'd rather not have to do that.

Again, momodot, I know your intentions were the best and I appreciate the effort. I'm simply not wanting critique at this time.

I'm the asshole. You wanna be a shit? You gotta go through ME.
