Wow what a thread!

As someone who is, by my own admission, on the C list around here, I have truly appreciated the critiques and praise I have received. In many ways the critiques are more valuable because they allow you to grow in your chosen genre. The support I have received here has really helped and I have tired to respond to it by attempting those changes in my next image, fixing up, or completely redoing a piece.

When I arrived here I sucked, maybe for some I still do, but that being said I can't see banning someone for craptacular art. Yes some here suffer from artistic diarrhea but as long as they stay within the 3 image limit so what? (We still have a three image limit don't we?) Its not like they are posting Rorschach skid marks from their briefs, although it may seem that way.

A pet peeve of mine is when I or someone else here tries to offer help and is confronted by another series of spastic layer and blending fornication the next day. How do I solve this conundrum? For me it is simple I just don't click on them anymore. Let them jerk their mouse or heaven forbid tablet pen in gyroscopic #5 brush masturbatory strokes and have fun.

My basic philosophy on comments is to do so only on the ones that really strike me, find a cheap way to blame Dar, or tick off Winter (I kid). As far as numeric ratings I rarely give them now, because I feel the need to defend them in writing. If I am going to write a critique, praise, what have you why rate? That is of course my own neurologic malfunction and my doc says finger-painting is just around the corner for me.
Well there are my 2 cents. If you want to send me a quarter to keep them please send check or money order to......
