For me, it is not a question of talent ! Sorry, but I think the comments you receive don't reflect the quality of your picture. Pov is ... bof, surface has not been worked on enough, and sky is just "normal". I don't judge your "artist qualities", but I disagree with all this "marvellous" comments, because the technical level is not there. I see a lot of picture coming from newbies (and I am one of them) that show a lot more technics as yours. You receive such a lot of comments for your work, and you get into the hot20 (which is rewarding, I have to admit), and people who are making better picture than you get nothing. Just because they don't have enough friends. Is it right ?

No Pat this is not an aspect of true art it's an aspect of "The Gift of Gab". Reflecting ones feelings through art yes, however the art has to do the talking. For instance, I'm wondering if you posted this in another art gallery where you were unknown would you get all these wonderful comments and votes? I think not! Your friends say that we are trying to knock you down. When in fact it is your friends that are knocking you down and holding you back from improving not the terragen commune. Peace!

Agree with Buzzzzz!! Anyway - I'm not sure if this is the right place for such a discussion. @Snow_Angel: What do you think about opening a thread in the Terragen forum? ;-)

Thanks for your support guys! :)

Agree also with Buzzz, especially about these "friends" who are knocking you down.

Snow_Angel is my freind here she comes to see my work and I see hers that is all. If these better artists come see my I will come and see their art. I do not have the time to look at many people that do not come to see my art. I pay respest to the ones that do sometimes I will go and look at many artists that are socalled good and to me they will not look at mind work so I do not go to they art they are unfriend. Why maybe they do not like surreal art and that is what I do. Snow_Angel I think is good and she is friendly and many of you are cold. and I will go and look at yuopur art for in the past I too was attact and the ones that did it was worse artist that me. I not that good but I do my best and I know I getting better as I see Snow_Angel doing her best and getting better too. this is V to me

omg!!!!ibeen out for just a few days and when i come back to look at an image i like..( simply like..i dont know what amount of thecnics have been used to obtain this result..) i read comments full of anger and envy...i think that there r better ways to criticize someone...patt..i just wish one day in my life i can open my window in the morning and see such a beautiful sunrise..by the way, u got my vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is wow... seems some are jealous of the love and support others get 'round here (not just the TG community either). Art is art, it speaks it's own language. some will see bad, others good. if you must make negative comments try it in a more positive and constructive way. peace to all!!!
