"No, I only find fault with what they are doing, which is masquerading as a serious art site, while essentially being little more than the clay aisle in an art supply store."

I won't comment on the rest of your posts because I have disagreements with Rosity myself and my views are well known. But I'm not a person to fight battles I can't win, and in the end aren't important enough to risk my rather fragile health getting excited over.

Is Rosity an art site? No. Neither is Cgsociety or any other site on the net. Any good, professional site that displays art is in the business of making money to support itself. That's the real;ity of the world. I see nothing wrong with it, apart from the sad fact I can't make a few bucks myself and improve my miserable life. Sure, it would be nice to have a site totally dedicated to art. Maybe you could put one up on geocities.

The art on Rosity depends on the users. 90% of what gets posted here is well meaning amateurs who just aren't there yet, but are trying, and hoping to get help to get better. 8% of the rest is an attempt at creating art. And 2% actually reaches the realm of art. CGsociety has a slightly larger percentage, but not by much. Oh sure, those who post there are more technically proficient, but that doesn't mean their work is art. True CG art is rare. Just like true art in the real world is rare.

If you have issues with Rosity, by all means raise them. But don't complain about there being no art here. Go make some.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
