Rags

Some people are begginers -nothing wrong with that- maybe they don't want to learn and improve-some do. Either way it's fun-and that's what its about for most. But for those who want to improve-we need feedback. A different Gallery? There is a WIP and a CRITIQUE gallery that get little use. Me? I'd like to imrove!

I can't copy and paste due to some weird firefox/mozilla rule- so I'll just say, look down a few posts for a thread about Galleries and constructive criticism. I once spent hours putting together-what I thought was a lovely render of Captain Jack on his ship-with extemely careful attention to lighting, mood, texture, etc.  Someone else posted a picture that was clearly default lighting-free of shadows-with Capn Jack floating a few feet in the air-guess which image got deluged with FIVE STARS!

Hence my posting and request for constructive criticism-which I got!

 

 

Quote - Well all, sorry to come on so strongly about this....

I don't know if any of you have ever noticed, but it seems as though in the galleyies, when I look around at people's work you see images that I'd hate to say this, but they look as though a 8 year old threw them together.  I don't bother commenting on those, I just skip over them.

The thing that blows me away, is sometimes, those images have about a ton of responses with everyone going ooooh and aaaaaahhhhhhh over them. 

I can sometimes spend HOURS putting images together, getting lighting just so, and I am appreciative for the very few 4 or 5 or sometimes less comments that I get.

My point is this, why do people say great work when we probably know that the images really aren't, and just because they contain some nude figure in there for some reason or another?

Okay, I'm done my rant.  I'm just curious to see your thoughts on this -- thanks
