@ ArtPearl--
"Design by commitee' isn't what the Critique group is about. If errors are spotted, they should be mentioned to the one who made them. I, for one, have NO interest in putting 'my stamp' on anyone else's art! Especially your's or Rutra's or Ariana's or anyone's.
Helping people to use their tools better is the main focus of this group (Unless I'm dead wrong.) and I want that too. If people want to make suggestions about reposing, or moving lights, they are ONLY suggestions--not mandates.
My arty bottom line is simple--If I love what I made, and I get that feeling in my gut that it is ready to take wing, everyone else's opinion can go to hell! To be blunt. I appreciate critiques that examine what I do, or HOW I do it--but when people start into the WHY of anyone--that's too much.
If someone takes exception with the spirit of art, if you don't want to trouble yourself with them--point 'em my way! I'll straighten them out!
You have a real talent for the extreme, the bizarre, the surreal and it really touches me. You do your art, YOUR way and to hell with all the committees!
@Ariana--if you hadn't posted a link--I'd have known of your sarcasm! :tt2:
