GFX section OR Sig of the week/month?

Okay. Let's get this show on the road!


Meh.

Sad story man.

But you could always use the "sucks to be you" card.....maybe?

So, TheAtom, Ayanami, TSG, potentially vitz.

And Vitz, you need to understand one thing about artwork. Sometimes people WILL look down on your work, but honestly its for the best that they do so you can improve. However, there is a fine line between being a douche about it, and being a critique. If anyone crosses the line, thats what I and other staff members are around for~

I'm not talking about critiques here. I'm talking only about douches.

I though you would be able to tell the difference.

I had also good critics in my life, but they were few.

Sometimes a good critic is the harshest. As my super old school teacher who's a very successful artist says, "if you dont walk out of it crying, it wasn't a good critique." While I still personally feel thats overkill, I understand what he's getting at.

I completely understand Vitz on this one, to be honest. It's shitty when you put a lot of work into something and people destroy it, saying it's garbage or whatnot. Good/harsh criticism is fine, but that does mean it should be pointed out clearly WHAT is wrong with it (and not just: that's garbage, disgusting bullshit or whatever), and the level of the artist should also be taken into consideration. You're not going to go nuts on a thee year old because he's not quite Rembrandt yet... But the thing is, many people on the internet ARE like that. Some people are very experienced, and go off on a beginner (or less advanced) artist for not knowing the stuff they do...

I mean, I've experienced it, and I've been on both sides of the spectrum. I've had my confidence crushed many times regarding sports and several types of arts, and I've crushed some people's confidence along the way as well... I thought it was good to be harsh for a person that just started writing a style of poetry pretty closely to mine, to show that it's "actually pretty tough to do!" Person never wrote anything like that anymore, and never shared any other work with me anymore afterwards. Still regret that tbh.

At the same time, I don't have the feeling that is going to happen here, but if Vitz is uncomfortable joining us for the first round because of this, I understand. Let's hope we can get some other people to join up, and then he can maybe see how the first time goes. Then on the basis of that perhaps he can join the next time. Although seeing that we're not booming with numbers just yet, I would appreciate every person out there to join.
