@decept_o: Then don't roll the dice. This isn't a gallery portfolio like Deviantart.. It's an interactive forum, and so if you post art in this section, it implies that you're pretty much asking for opinions that are good/bad.
@torrez: Seriously. You've done this before saying the same thing to me. Naturally you know if I or anyone says anything to you they will "appear" negative and can't handle criticism. However, you're NOT offering anything constructive.
You're going through other Forums and making negative comments.
If you don't like something, that's fine but again, why state you don't like something? G-Man tells those who make negative comments in the weekly "Awesome Art Picks" thread the same thing; if you don't like the work of someone, don't comment about it and instead focus on the art you DO like.
Naturally you won't, you will just keep going and I doubt any Mods here will do anything. Whatever.
I'm not going to give my opinion one way or the other, but my point on commenting at all is this. @decept_o, if you're going to put up a piece for public display and ask for opinions, you really need to develop a thick skin and realize you're going to have people who don't like your work. I'm a professional artist and one of the best things that ever happened for my career was when Wendy Pini (artist and co creator of ElfQuest) insulted me (constructively...well...mostly) for half an hour. I learned a lot.
@torrez...do what you want. You can say, I don't like it, which is fine. However, it might be more helpful if you say WHY you don't like it. It's not your duty or anything, but it would be HIGHLY cool of you.
Just my opinion folks, but couldn't HURT anyone at least.
@k_brimstone: True, but I believe that if a person is going to compliment the work, they should also explain what they find fascinating about it, in that case.
