You must be new here. Giving fake compliments and uplifting criticism is not how it works here. If you don't want people to be rude to you then get better and prove you are worth their time and respect. In truth everyone does want you to get better if you want to post here, it's just a matter of seeing if you want pats on the back or if you are going to be motivated enough to improve through the insults and harsh criticism.

Also, start your own thread and just post there, this makes it easier for everyone, and mainly yourself, to track improvement. There are quite a few regulars who have their own threads that span multiple years and you can see where they started and all the shit they were given, as well as their improvements. Uncle is a great example, find his digi painting thread.

I am not offended. People can toss around negative drool all they want. But I am entitled to think it's mean, not constructive, and pointless. If you offer negativity and not a shred of advise. Then there is no advise to even judge. It's a waste of your keyboard.

And how it is done here, is not up to any one person. Or anyone claiming to speak for the who sub forum with comments like, "we don't like you". This sub forum is the make up of all the people who post here. In their glorious variety. If everyone was exactly the same it would be a pretty pointless place to visit.

Theres a lot of unwritten rules to this subforum, and most people never figure them out unless they actually want to improve and stick around long enough.


If you actually want to learn something, listen.

1. These unwritten rules have been in place long before you got here, accept them, they aren't gonna change.
2. Have ONE thread with all your work in it, no need to keep making a new thread for every piece.
3. Follow tutorials first, don't try to be too creative too early, monkey see, monkey do.
4. Be critical of yourself. If someone says "spend more time and read tutorials", ask yourself why they would say that? It's probably because he can tell you didn't read a tutorial and you didn't spend enough time on it.
5. And this is an important one- Don't get butthurt when people are mean to you at first. It's not simply "we don't like you", its more "we don't like you until you have proven willingness to learn". Sometimes people will just be mean around here, maybe too mean for my taste, they are testing you.
6. When someone types up a long response in here, listen to them, I'm 90% sure this post, just like Tetu's post, is gonna fly right above your head.

It's very good, thanks for the share.

Thanks, welcome





If you take a college course in any design work, constructive criticism in the class is usually part of the grade. Imagine a professors response to you making your constructive criticism. "you suck, read a tutorial". That professor would not only be tempted to fail you but probably want to meet with you after class to discuss what you were thinking to think this was in any way constructive. It's not butt hurt. It's a response to you being an idiot.

Also, if I want to make a new thread. I won't check with you first to see if my old one is old enough first. Can't believe I'm wasting my time typing this. I placed over 12 thousand vertices today on a project. 754 so far today were hand placed and moved vertices. This is so not worth my time. You can argue with yourself from here on out.

Yikes.

Oh, you're going to go far here.

The level of rustled jimmies is immense.

but why would you even compare a graphic class with a crappy diablo 2 forum ?

I have'nt done much lately, here is one from 3 years ago, took me a while to find it.
I am still a big fan of just simple black/White shit line-art or w/e one might call it.


And I still suggest you to read tutorials and spend more time on the stuff you make.
