Quote - So basically you're saying that those who upload their rendered images in the gallery (or galleries) are fishing for attention? Okay, I didn't know that. Bugger all the constructive crisiticisms and the quest to get better in this medium - give me attention damn it!

Even if some people are 'fishing for attention'...so what????
If they're good at it, and if those giving them attention are entertained, and fills their wish for a bit of social and community atmosphere, none of that is some terribly bad thing.

I tend to call it socialize rather then fish for atention, it's normal for human beings to want to socialize with one another.
I'm wondering why someone would prefer to stand on the sidelines, not really share and participate, and then negatively judge those whom are participating making friends and enjoying themselves. Artsy fartsy stuff in not only about expressing yourself, by yourself in a dark corner where noone sees or hears you. Artsy fartsy stuff is about communicating with other people too, so this big bad attention getting thing is an integral part of art.

And if someone is actually getting attention, and it's mostly positive, then they're doing something right! Sure, sometimes that side gets over-emphasized at the cost of possibly improving technique...  But, you know what, life is a long time, and things seldom stay static for too long. For most people when things swing a little closer to one extreme or another, it's a phase. Just because you see something right now, doesn't mean it will stay that way forever.
