One might regard friends as those who you wish to keep close. Don't, for if that friend leaves, you will suffer one thousand times more than you have ever suffered.

I understand you want me to rework my newest piece. But I will now publically tell you that as of right now I have no intention of reworking my current newest piece, and that while I acknowledge your feedback and criticisms, that I will use your criticisms to perform better on my next project in the near future. For now, I want you to acknowledge that I wish to move onto a new piece, and that I MIGHT revisit the piece in question at a later date. As of right now, my only wish is to move on and apply everyone's criticisms into my next project. Thanks to those who took the time to review my art and I will look forward to your feedback on my next piece and I wish you all a Happy Holidays.

TL;DR: I only ask that you acknowledge that I want to move onto my next project, and again, I am applying your criticisms and I will do better next time; that I can promise. I will find new ways to make my next project look even better, but again, I need you to acknowledge that my only desire as of right now is to move on to my next project, and again, I will apply yours and everyone's feedback to the piece. Have a good day, Nova, and please undestand that I mean you no disrespect and only to wish to state my desires as of this moment.

Happy Holidays, everyone.

If you want to post art that's great, but you need to actually acknowledge the criticism. You need people to critise honestly without impedeing their opinion to make this a complete thing. You make a piece that's moderate, people will give you a moderate or low score.

If your art is so good, why isn't front paged? If you made art like shad,cypress, or Jessepants that deviates a social norm than perhaps you would be able to exponentially increase your views. You will never become Alex Ahad. I will never be Alex Ahad. No one can be Alex Ahad, except Alex Ahad.

Problem is, is this idiot isn't showing me the proper respect I deserve. I acknowledged his feedback and I said what I wanted to do, and I asked him to please let me move onto a new project, then he has the nerve to tell me I am worthless? Absinthe, I don't think you realize how much of an idiot this guy is. Seriously...And I was TRYING to be nice, too.

FOR ONE! i LITERALLY said you only need one patch layer for all the small things i addressed... thats not a 're-work'

publically? dude, most people who see your news posts are all people who'd like to see you maimed... not 'fans' of yours. Your work is not done, and there's only like 5% left...

apply everyone's criticism onto your next project?... dude, you'll do the same you did here... you'll make a new piece, with sloppy cut corners and when someone tells you whats wrong "As of right now, my only wish is to move on and apply everyone's criticisms into my next project. "

TL;DR: = Too Long; Didn't Read:......... RETARD! that means you summarize!... you have 6 and a half lines for the main section, then a 5 line for your summary... thats not much of a summary, thats just you restating the same long bullshit with one line's worth cut off

and dude, dont suck my dick to end your bullshitting... everybody and their mothers knows that you will repeat the same garbage with each drawing- THIS is why i tell you to apply those small, 1 to 2 hour patches... 5 at the most considering you take MORE time than even i do... BECAUSE YOU REPEAT YOUR MISTAKES DIPSHIT... have a nice day and GO FUCK YOURSELF!

I guess you just don't understand me...Oh well...And just when I was trying to be nice as well. Besides, you're in technically no position to be demanding anything from me. Finally, I don't even know you. So, if you can't learn to respect my desire to move onto a new project, then I guess we can't be friends. I have tried NUMEROUS times to argue my point, and if I don't want to work on this further, then you have to suck it up and deal with it. Until you learn that lesson, I am blocking you.

The proper respect you deserve...?
I don't think you realize how incredibly arrogant you sound with that sentence alone.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not here to insult you, it's done absolutely nothing so far but cause more misunderstandings. I'm here to try and get a message across to you, a bit of friendly advice if you will.

It's rather obvious, judging from the way you act, that you consider yourself talented enough to be part of the "Art forums Regs." The thing is, there never was such a group per se, and being friends with everyone here isn't about talent at all. The secret, my friend, the glue that holds these people together... is their humility. None of them are afraid to admit that they've got a lot to learn, and they take the advice given to them to heart. They apply it. They LEARN.

You seem to be under the misconception that having your work criticized is somehow an indirect insult to you. Trust me, it isn't. If these people truly hated you, they wouldn't bother commenting on your work in the first place. They'd leave you to rot. Yet they take the time to point out your flaws, so that you may improve yourself. Nova, in his own very direct way, is telling you not to procrastinate. Which is great advice. The more you put things off, the less you'll feel like doing them.

Why do tomorrow what you could do today?

This is why everyone is frustrated with you. You show potential, but you're too busy being offended by everyone's comments to notice the wisdom in what they say.

If you really, truly want to learn and better yourself as an artist, you first need to accept the fact that you aren't as good as you think you are. You need to accept the fact that there are people here who know more about drawing than you do, and that the praise you may have received from your previous peers won't weight nearly as much as the kind of criticism you'll receive from an actual art community. The guys here won't sugarcoat their words. They're direct, but they're honest, and most often right.

If you truly want to learn and become a better artist, you owe it to yourself to swallow your pride and at least TRY the advice given to you. If it works for you, splendid, you just came out of it a better artist. If not, discard it. It's that simple.

If it's pure praise you want, you'll find none here with your current mindset. They have fridge doors for that.
