Tissaia  - i just wanted to say that i've added you to my favorites not because of this thread, but because you're truly one of my favorite artists and an inspiration.  i just didn't know you were here too.  i've already marked you at artzone and runtimedna.

i totally understand your concerns.  i just personally don't get much feedback now (though i really appreciate what feedback i do get), and i fear that if i just had a tag in my comments, i wouldn't get any more feedback than i do now.  i figure if i get out there and critique and try my best to give good, thorough reviews, i might get some in return.  and it's just much easier for me to do that by following artists than following a thread.
