Fyrene, you are absolutely right...the comment left on my gallery submittal was not excessively demeaning in nature, but not exactly complimentary either. Had it been a criticism of the work and comment made about how it could have been made better then it would have been less trite in it's effect. Sinamin shared an action that gives a photogloss type effect with me and others. The situation I think arose in that Marcabros commented that it looked like Sinamin's artwork....well yes it would similar using the same room, the same character, the same props, the same lighting. The only differences for the most part would be expression and pose. The so-called problem arose in the repetition in which Marcabros left those comments on at least two other gallery submittals. This same photoshop action (which Sinamin shared with Marcabros) appears to have been used on this image at: http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=167871&Start=1&Artist=Marcabros&ByArtist=Yes It would have been demeaning to Marcabros to say that this type of effect looks like so and so's artwork. It could have been better phrased to have said "This style is similar to the style of work by ....", meaning the same thing but the reflection of tone is more positive. I am sure that most of this issue is due to the language barrier that exists, and the lack of perception of our American nuances.
