I agonize over everything I create. I'm my own worst critic. It has been my experience on Rendo that people always tend to tell an artist how great or fabulous an image or product is, even when it leaves a great deal to be desired. This is not useful to ANYONE. I think people do this just by rote, always fearful of pissing off the artist or vendor. This does no good for the vendor or the end user. If I feel something is great, I don't hesitate to say so, but if something really sucks (and I have seen this, especially in the galleries) I tend to keep this to myself. Chris mentions the fact that we are only connected by a computer screen, and unless you are some kind of troll, I think that much goes unsaid. Don't get me wrong - there are some great artists and vendors whose work is amazing to me, and which I try to emulate. I've spent the past year learning to model in Blender, and would be ashamed to present anything I have modeled for sale or even as a freebie. It is rare for me to see any good feedback on just about everything, and that is just too bad as far as I am concerned. Chris also mentions that we tend to work alone, and feedback from peers is most valuable. I oftem wonder what goes through some people's minds when they see something that just isn't right...
