if I did fishing for compliments I would not have felt the need to open this thread. I speak of constructive comments, but perhaps escapes you the difference.

Ok, well if you wish for a more serious discussion on the topic rather than staying lighthearted, please note the following important tip: if you want constructive criticism, you need to ask for it. Plain and simple. I would never consider saying anything negative about anyone else's artwork unless the artist specifically asked me for a critique, and even then I would go out of my way to find as much good as I could bad no matter how bad it might be - because most people put a lot of effort into their art and criticism is rarely if ever received as intended. Unless you specifically asked for critique on every piece, well then you can't blame people for not giving you what you wanted. Sadly no version of Rendo has ever included a "read the artists mind" button so none of the rest of us would have any clue that this was your desired intent unless you stated it clearly, loudly, and often.
