Am I insulted?  Nope.  Do I do EVERYTHING you ranted about?  Yup.  I'm not going to stop doing it either.  I don't create art for you or anyone else.  I make it for me.  If anyone happens to enjoy it, then great.  I like to share.  If nobody comments or cares, it's really no skin off my back.  It's a HOBBY for me.  Hobbiests, last I checked, aren't required to be professional anything. 

I can't model, been trying to learn and it's sloooooooow going.  I can do simple texturing.  Complicated texture mapping seems beyond me.  Am I ashamed of any of it?  Nope, not at all and those who make their living doing this love me for it.  :lol:

I have to add that I looooove the condescending attitudes of some of you guys.  Get off your high horses, stop worrying about what 'everybody else' is doing and do your own thing.  You'll wake up a lot happier in the morning if you aren't worrying about what lazy, untalented slobs like us are doing.

Just a thought.
