That was well spoken, ShadowWind It brought to mind a Flash movie competition I was just in. People were jockeying for top position in the viewer rankings, even though judges would award the actual prizes. Many 'mystery' voters popped up, who had never been at the site before and who were trashing all the top entries, except for one, which they praised. I realized that there may be many reasons for critisizm of your work. There are also many different 'tastes' among viewers. I advised another contestant, who had been trashed, to not try and satisfy his critics. My advice was; "If you change your art because of critisizm, you are not an artist, you are a conformist" I'm not suggesting that we can't learn from the comments of others, only that we shouldn't change something unless it's to please ourselves.. not someone else. That's the only way to stay true to your vision and ever hope to create something unique.
