Um, well, I'm not an artist.  Period, no way, not an artist.  And I don't have anything in anyone's gallery anywhere, but,

If someone wants to criticize what I do, not being an artist has it's advantages.  More or less "Please tell someone that cares". 

I've got a lot of junk on sharecg, and it never ceases to amaze me, looking at the numbers, views and downloads, there's more than one that I bombed on completely.  It isn't going to hurt my feelings if someone asks why I bothered, there are times I ask myself the same. 

It's not going to insult me to say it's not realistic enough, for my purposes, where it's going to be in the distance and seen through the trees, that doesn't matter. 

But the normal is on the "Wow, great, wonderful, great work", when I know it's not.

But if someone says "This sucks", I'm not going to go into a heel kicking, screaming fit over it.  I might put a little more attention on detail in the next one, but I'm not going to be insulted either.

Even totally negative comments are sometimes helpful, they force you to think and maybe see what you might have done differently.  And, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
