Jealous? of what exactly? I bowed out of the character marketplace years ago when it became obvious that it would be flooded with resource based characters. And over the last five years I've been right.

cranky and judgemental ..well you got me there. lol  But I think everyone judges things to some extent right? its human nature

But if you tell me because I'm a merchant I can't have an opinion about other merchants products? Or I can't, in reasonable terms, make that opinion known?  I dont recall signing away that particular right.

I think its important that the customers know what they are buying, and understand the differences in quality and originality. I find it shameful that some merchants focus more on pumping out the quantity and less about improving their work. At that point you stop being an artist and start being a photocopier. If you arent going to seriously work at what you are doing and make an effort to make every product better than the last one .. please stop!

I'd like to hope that if Syltermermaid reads this post she thinks a little about stretching herself, doing something a little harder, a little different.  Heck I'd like anyone reading this post to think about that.

And since Arcadia is hinting .. I think we should leave this thread to die a natural death lol

PS my ex had a bengal named Simba .. biggest scaredy cat I ever did see ..but wonderful with babies.
