Ideally, an artist knows what was intended and whether or not it has been accomplished. This is particularly true In attempts at realism. If you don't know what looks right, words won't help much. (This comment is not meant as an assessment of SetoKaiba's work, by the way.)
People need to explain the intent of their images and what they seek to improve to get a useful critique. Otherwise critiques are liable to be subjective and worthless. Advice on how to achieve a better degree of realism isn't meaningful to an artist who isn't trying for realism, for example.
I think the critique forum can be useful if it focuses on how to achieve what an artist is pursuing. Vague solicitations for 'help' seem to be just a cry for attention.
