    Ctr, you gave me an idea.

    You know what I need to rant about?

    When people wander into the graphics section and enter a thread. Their reply to that thread is something along the lines of:

    Next, they go to ANOTHER thread and post something like this:

    And the next thread....

    It goes on and on, people. And I have to delete those posts. Why you ask? They're total spam! The total point of posting in that section is to help them get better by using CNC. Comments and CRITIQUE. Not, comments and not helping them in anyway possible, just post whoring. Yeah, CNC, LEARN IT LIVE IT LOVE IT. The funny thing is, it's not just one person. Heck, it's not just here on KH-Vis. It's in the internet, it's in the world.

    And think if you were the artist getting those replies to. Maybe you put your SOUL AND HEART into drawing this BEAUTIFUL drawing. You worked and worked in all your weak parts, trying to improve and this is your only reply:

    WTF MAN, WTF. Do you people not understand what it's like TO be an artist? Everyday this thought goes through my mind, "Am I ever going to be as great as those many names I hear and read about? Am I seriously wasting my time perfecting my art? Am I just a girl with a pencil? With no point? No promise? Is it a waste? Will I EVER be there?" And knowing a lot of people like me, they feel like that too. I strive to be better, and I know all those people out there do too.

    I'm sorry guys, but I'm a person who hates praise, I'd rather be better at what I do then for someone to tell me, "Good Job" every time I create when they don't realize what a GOOD job is.

    You know what I ALSO hate? When they try to critique you but they just say what's wrong and don't tell you how to fix it. How the HELL am I supposed to fix this dog's paw if I don't know the proper way? How am I supposed to align the eyes right when the face is tilted? What IS the proper way to shade?

    Please, next time you look at someone's art, don't sit there and say, "I like it" or "Good Job". Be in DEPTH. Tell them at LEAST what you like about, what you think they can do better. Because most people who wouldn't care about art don't see what it is. It's not just a drawing. It's not JUST a photograph. It's NOT just a sculpture. It's the feelings and emotions of the person, in a form where you can see, hear, taste, feel, and read.

    I could go on and on, but you guys would probably get bored.
    And to those who actually sat down, read this and understand, thank you.

    people have every right to post their thoughts about a gfx. don't like it? tough. its unreasonable to say "Keep your opinions to yourself because you dont write a paragraph about why you like it"

    Now you know how it feels when you post a story in the creative corner or an AMV. It's always

    or..


    So welcome to the insanity we call miniposts.

    edit: Actually Neku, I think he wants an opinion and not just the same post/opinion of members before them. Like in the Discussion zone

    I never said they couldn't.
    And I'm not asking for a paragraph either.

    Obviously you didn't understand, because you're not in that position.

    Well not necessarily. I mean, we just need the oxygen so that it can be delivered to the body.

    IMO

    I think it should be something different than what the others are saying
    and if the creator is like

    and if the replier posts the same stuff saying

    He/She already would know that and it wouldn't be helping any, unless the poster says

    Well said.

    Something that peeves me is the fact that ALL ARTISTS ARE CONCEITED and extremely proud of their artwork, and trust me, I am one, I know. We're all horribly proud but we act modest. That itself isn't what bother me, though--- what bothers me is that we'll work hard on a piece of work and love it, but cravopinions and tips from others, yet there's a handful of people who'll just give us ridiculously stupid comments. And its like, god, I wanna be recognized, not feel so disregarded.

    I can totally feel you on this one, Hissy.

    ..Lawlz, I disagree. They do that to whore posts, I mean, yes it it doesn't have to be a paragraph, but most of them are just irrelevant posts to build up count. I would know, I'VE DONE IT =D

    Well you'll always get proper critique from me...


    Neku there is a difference between making posts to give critique to help the tag maker and posting just to get post count and/or kiss up, you should be able to tell the difference...

    I'd have to agree with the artists. The reason they post their work is to get CnC, even if it isn't great CnC, but somethin' that may help improve their work. When folk say, "It looks awesome!" it doesn't help. How can that contribute to improvin' the sig or the artists skill? They aren't pointin' out their flaws or what worked well in the graphic.

    The artist spends a lot of time on the graphic, the least someone could do is spare a moment or two n' write a post with some meaningful CnC. Like Xidon said. It's for the post or to kiss up.
