I Like your "Screw Lando..." pic. Great color, and I liked how the shapes were recognizable yet kinda abstract at the same time. Why did your one critic like "LunarRingsoftheMoon" more than your pic? You said it yourself "He simply liked it more". It all comes down not always what artwork has been more developed, but to what everyones personal likes and dislikes are. That's all there was to it, period. Did I like your "Screw Lando" pic? Yes. Are there some members' works I like better? Sure. Why? `Cause I like Dragons even more than sci-fi...sometimes it has nothing to do with development. Your opening statement is great, alomst poignant, then...you turn around and not only display yourself as nothing like your statement, but actually don't even want that kind of person critiquing your own art. Completely illogical. Call the other members by their screen name, do not call them "Spanky". "After 2 years of bryce, yes, i reserve the right to be critical to start-ups". - That is an untrue statement, believe me. You mention the Challenge, and it is a Challenge not a "contest". You mention the Challenge with disdain for a "broad range of mediocre creations". Do not do that anymore. You are allowed your freedom here. But there are grey areas, areas where your opinion, draculaz, needs to be (as you yourself say) "lenient". I ask you to please temper your critique, and if you want to play the Challenge, then please do, but follow the few rules. (go vote for 3 not just 1) And, as the cheesy saying goes, "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it". Take that to heart. I'v deleted your post in the vote thread. I would like it if you could vote again, I know you can find two others that are worthy enough for placement. These members come here to the Bryce Forum for instruction and helpful critique. They are not your or anyone elses underling slap bag. And, if they turn out to be, well then, that's why I'm here... AgentSmith
