Wow - that's a great bunch over there - sorry you had to deal with that - and people wonder WHY I want to smack some people! lol!

Quote - I agree, I see a legit question being asked here..not an accusation ;)

 
DITTO! totally legit question- He was e-mailed the offer he did not inquire about it . Of course a simple "is this legit ?" title would have been better so people don't connect the vendors name with unsavory activity.

I have some hand poses for guns in the hand folder - some people include them in their sets so you can more easily pose the weapons - there is also this site-schlabber.org/ that has literally thousands of poses

Meltz - there's another render site that may be more suited to your needs- Renderotica ! I understand your concerns however this is not your site so you are obliged to follow the rules - if you dont like them - leave -or try to have a discussion with the moderators - griping to the general membership is hardly appropriate!

flurries - yuck

There have been some wonderfully constructive comments made, which encouraged me to post a much improved version of one of my pics.

Without their collective advice, my image would have remained sub-par.

Me too.

 

Me three.

I am enjoying it immensely. I am seeing artwork I normally probably would not see & have had some invaluable advice given in regards to my own work, which is helping me grow & improve.

Ditto!

I just came to see how many people got fooled (yeah thats it -that's the ticket)

Quote - Johnfields I hope you don't drop out of the whole effort over something like that - I think most of us are very accepting of feedback of any kind, and we welcome yours.  Criticism - your criticism - is valuable, that's the whole point of this exercise.
edit:  It would probably go a long way if people would put a lot of detail in their introduction comments - if something is done for a reason and may provoke some comment, explain it, like the crazy unrealistic hair in a lot of my artwork.

 
I intend to paticipate fully as I want to learn as much as possible and I LIKE hearing crits, that's how you improve. My BFA progam in college had a portfolio review- THAT was harsh this stuff is mostly well intentioned people taking the time to give a well thought critique - if you can't take a critique you probaly should not join this group- if you don't agree with the crit  dont apply it in your work - this is about honest PEER review not a popularity contest.- there are so many talented people here I personally look forward to the crits!

DONE

Quote - I would add this warning, ANY snake, harmless or no, can bite. Just because it isn't poisonous does not mean you won't get bitten. Handle any captured snake as though it were and you'll reduce your chance of getting hurt.

 
tru

in order for this to work the artist needs to accept the crits with the same courtesy that they were given - If an artist gets all defensive and argumenitive over a crit I give - it will be the last  one I give. I just gave valid crits to a member who asked for crits and all they did was send me a msg defending the peice and  telling me "that's the way I wanted it" - then it's perfect and you dont want crits.

Sounds like a corn snake or a king snake - both  fairly harmless - except they have been know to steal eggs!
corn snake -
king snake-

Texas rat snake

Gopher snake

It's a good general rule as well as symetry and ambiguous alignment - all powerful tools! good tip!- thanks
