intersting subject, i find it very difficult to post images here that i am not 100% happy with,and ive posted a few that id still like to re do but im glad i have because i have got constructive criticism as well as the "hug brigade" which does help  focus your work.

I think you just have to realise that some users here are sometimes casual users and some just dont have what it takes to be a world class artist,some people havent got the time or money to devote to expensive packages or loads of time getting to grip with a package, and yes,some pics do look like an 8yr olds done them but ive never used zbrush before but im sure my first pic would look the same from it :-)

Guess what im trying to say is that this is really a gallery of people with differing levels of talent,time and resources and your comments need to reflect that, I tend to alter the level of criticism with the ability of the artist,a bit like encouraging children,if you say that their first crayon drawing is bland and 2 dimensional they will just jack it in,where as a 16yr old "a" level art class student you would expect to give a more extended critique.

Then theres the content,ive seen loads of artists who just do THE SAME THING all the time,and part of me want to scream out"try something different!" but at the end of the day who am i to tell them what to do? so i just roll my when i see yet another carbon copy image and let them get on with it.

So my conclusion is that i agree with you,but i think that it could be a whole lot worse :-) id rather have a hug than a kicking anyday lol
