Castle Paradox

I am fifteen and I am glad for what I have drawn. I don't really care if you could draw like that in the 3rd grade. Maybe I am not good, but I still like it. I made it because I wanted to. I thought I did an okay job on it. I have friends who think the same. And hey, it's not like I took too much time on it. I can draw better, if I try, but I don't want to.

[Eggie]

Maybe people would enjoy throwing up on their keyboard by showing another picture I drew that I sealed away in my closet... nah. Whatever. I'll improve. But the overdesign will remain the same. And oh yeah. There is something good to say about it. It's different and creative, even though you condemned it to Hell. I'll just try better. BOOYAKA!

[MultiColoredWizard]

Is it that time of the month for you or something? Christ, you're worse than pulp was.. except pulp wasn't acting like a complete moron. No.. wait.. nevermind..

anyways, chill out. like Sew said. you posted the picture and now people are critiquing it. Few people on this board can post images and not expect criticism.(I mean, I don't remember getting any.. ever.. really..)

[Eggie]

This has gone far past the drawing I made. This is about frickin' respect. I have no idea who Pulp was, give me a brief on how he was 'Bad'.

[Sew]

Respect? Point out one place where you were not respected.

Dude, guys, lay off.

[Uncommon]

Well, I was the first to post criticism, and I must say that I do not care for fake words, and am quite blunt. I believe people deserve honesty when they ask for criticism. This doesn't call for disrespect, of course, but some people can't take honesty...

That's what tact gets you...

[Shadowiii]

Criticism: Fine

Mindless Bashing: Over the top

Ok, I think this thread is going to the wrong direction now.

Eggie: You are overreacting. This is a forum of discussion. You can't expect everyone to like your work. Also, I want to point out that as an artist, you don't have to listen to everything, take the criticism you think that was right to you and leave out the rest.

RMZ: You said no offense but do you seriously think he wouldn't take offense when you said you can do something like this when you're in 3rd grade? No offense, but that's a load of rubbish.

You know what's wrong here? Stop discouraging people from doing something. Yeah, he's probably not DaVinci, but who's to say that this doesn't take effort to draw? Now, you'd probably say that you can do something like this easily with no effort... but who cares? he's not you and you are not him.

And also, how do you expect someone to "lay off" after you just called him a moron? You don't.

Criticism tend to be harsh to the artist, true, but there's a clear difference between BASHING and CRITICIZING.

If you look at the thread, people started giving constructive crticism, and there were'nt really any insults until eggie started throwing a hissie fit. If Eggie can't handle helpful comments, why should anyone give him any?

[Friend]

All I can say here is that both parties are at fault. Depending on how you see it, one comment is particularly very rude, and this was posted before eggie responded. Also, familiar with the phrase don't fight fire with fire?

Anyhow, since nobody has anything to say about eggie's work anymore, let's just move along shall we?
