{please note before begining this will either make you ticked to high heaven or make you go hmmmmm. and for those who hate my posts why are you still reading if you dislike themO.o} Ok,,,, I actually noticed this I guess a few weeks back. there is something in the galleries {it seems to be contagiouse} called "myfriendsinflatemyego-itis" this is noted by symptoms such as 1-all work no matter what you post is GREAT no matter what. 2-everything you have ever done including that doodle on toilet paper is GREAT. it could be flat,dead,lifeless, empty, no shadow, no details,it could be scribbles with a crayon,it could be a spatter of coffee on a paper plate. it doesnt matter it is GREAT. 3-you start believing everything you do is GREAT and that anyone that says other wise is just jealouse because you are GREAT. 4-hordes of people that have either given you "myfriendsinflatemyego-itis" or share in it will retaliate on anyone that tries to say otherwise. 5-this disease is also associated with the "Icandonowrong-itis" now see I noticed this one day when I uploaded a picture I was just not happy with it is..ok..nothing else..and ok is being very generouse to it really. it is just blaaaaahhhhhhhh...but sure enough it was GREAT.{that pic was taken down not even 24 hours later because it was clawing at my very eyes } at this time I decided to really actually go peeking around{insert mission impossable theme music} not just the old accusations that run in the forums from time to time about cliques and rigged votes..but actually look around in all the galleries and I noted this disease. Now the thing is that the disease "myfriendsinflatemyego-itis" actually has side effects. such as 1-stagnation of work. because why would you try anything different ..you are GREAT. 2-lack of progress in skills. again why should you try anything new you are GREAT. 3-in bad cases you can get an actual decline in effort or skill. 4-a large inflated ego can also cause problems with perception of reality and qualtiy. you start to wonder why -everyone- doesnt see that you are GREAT. while renderosity has a drop down with several choices. it seems that the disease "myfriendsinflatemyego-itis" effects computers as well. it seems only two choices actually work on this drop down menu. that is excellent and great. I have checked with norton and avg..and they do not have anything that scans for the virus that seems to deactivate the other choices in rendos rank menu. ~clears her throat again~ This is a public service anouncement hopeing to bring awareness of this disease. while it may look like you are supporting your friends actually you are tieing a blindfold over their eyes and tieing their hands and minds. Friends dont let friends operate art proggies with "myfriendsinflatemyego-itis". If you care about your friends..you will tell them{that is nice but you need a)better lighting b)better shadowsc)better texturec)better techinique D) any of the above and then some. progress in skills does not come from constant pat on the backs. progress does not come with "myfriendsinflatemyego-itis" Now dont confuse helping with being bitchy. that is{Iamgreatandyouallsuck-itis} though the two diseases somethings attack the same person, one thing is nasty remarks putting work down, another is creative critiquing that allows a person to see something they didnt see before and learn new ground to fix it. As artists {or hobbiests} growth is needed. to increase ones skills you have to get critisised at some point. if you are constantly told you are wonderful great etc..you dont even know what to correct or what to work on. I think every artist I know is always in a process of growth of learning of bettering their skill. so please, lets us trounce the "myfriendsinflatemyego-itis" lets help our fellow artists. Lets encourage growth and learning of art proggies. Lets correct bad lighting, lets help under-developed shadows, lets reach out and help post work, lets raise awareness of hair movement{not to mention other movements} lets get the jewelry moving with the head lean,the dress to drape with the curve..the elbow to bend correctly, lets build those biceps on models...:) {disclaimer:this was written with humor intended but to convey actual message of awareness that always telling someone their are great or their work is perfect will not do them favors. for those wishing to send hate mail,death threats,rants etc...please address it to sorrythisisnotarealaddy@notrealmailbox.com}
