I feel a bit guilty about using this thread, which was aimed at joining leaving the group, not conversations, but I was asked, and joiing/leaving is in limbo anyhow , so:
I started using Poser just as a tool to help me design my watercolor paintings. I use it to get poses, correct proportions, find POV. design light and shadows. Therefore the details of texture and color in my poser images were not important to me. However , I got sucked into the CG side so now I would like my CG images to 'stand on their own'. and critiqued for their own merits. My watercolors only use the poser images as reference. I use transparant watercolor on paper + some pen &ink.
You're probably right that I mainly want comments, I dont want directions. I usually aim to convey a feeling and/or a situation and therefore feedback about what you feel/think when you see it are most usefull to me. However the comments can be as critical as you like. You can also point out errors or weaknesses such as distorted limbs, lack of shadows flaws in composition - anything really. I'll consider everything seriousely, but only implement what in my opinion will improve it. Only thing I wouldnt like is things that change the character of the image like 'this isnt realistic enough' . (I havnt had a comment that i didnt like yet, and I'm not too sensitive, so anything goes as long as its not persnal).
Thanks :)
