Odd Comments (+username)

Journal Entry: Thu May 17, 2012, 7:19 AM
Much like everyone else I changed my username lol.

I kept it pretty similar, and easy to remember- but I wanted to make it shorter :/


In other news~ I've been getting some of the oddest comments on artwork lol. People should learn how to critique, or at least read the artist's comments  before they type in my opnion.

I suppose that's the challenge of doing fan art~ you get fantards ( I'm a fantard ;D ) trying to correct you on what they personally believe something should be like. Even if it's an artist interpretation on a detail never officially released, or that's just never been covered.

  I've had comments where they ignore the art,ignore artist comments, ( even one that says.."No Critique Desired)  and focus on anything from:

-what side of the head a character's hair is parted on
-If the character is a righty, or a lefty in how they hold things
- skin tone.. they're either too pale, or too tanned etc
- his eyes are the wrong colour ( this one ..the person has always been wrong)
- That character would never wear that!
- That character would never be with THAT person! They absolutely LOVE "X" - I know it! My head gremlins tell me so.
- Their hair is a bit too long, or short, or not dark enough, or too dark
- That character isn't that muscular! ( why, do you know him irl? Did the game ever show him without his shirt on? )
- That character would NEVER have that many tattoos under his shirt. They aren't that VAIN ( cause tattoo's are only about vanity.. )




yeah ...9 times out of 10, I've looked into their "critiques" and they're wrong. You slap them with proof and they go: " I could have SWORN he was a lefty...  It's even been so rude to me, that they tell me such a detail destroyed the picture and how could I do that?

Those aren't critiques though, they're usually just statements where someone ignores the artwork (and artist comments) and just zero's in on anything they can find fault with in their head. I'm probably going to start ignoring these types of comments. People have to understand that many times, it's an artistic interpretation- it's how the artist wants to portray that character in their own vision ( for me, many times these are commissions and I work with the commissioner and do *their* vision), and it won't necessarily match their personal interpretation of the character. And if they strongly dislike it, that's totally fine. They're always welcome to draw their OWN interpretation however they see fit.

"She never wore THAT, that's totally the wrong shade of red, are you colour-blind?!"
"He has a prettier face - you so totally ruined it for me now!"
"OMG - you made her OLD!!! She has wrinkles! OMG! HOW COULD YOU?!"

Your stuff is so amazing... I am 100% jealous D: Can I ask you how long it takes you to do an average piece? (like 1 character and simple enough backround?)

Oh, it depends on how much time I have, and how complicated the character is. Like, some that have not so much detail can be a few hours everyday for 3-4 days. Some, like the Vincent I did- has much detail- ( nd gun, so much fabric and claw etc) it can take a few hours for 6 days :[. Im unfortunately still very slow -_-

Hey there, I would love to personally drop by and invite you to enter the Lost Kids Art Contest.

Your Final Fantasy pieces are amazing and the Lost Kids comic book might be of your interest as it was heavily influenced by it :)

Please visit the [link] for all the details on the cash prizes and how your art can end up on the covers of the comic books.

Thanks!

Just read your journal, you shouldn't doubt your own skills, you're an amazing artist! ^^ I usually don't like fanart because I prefer original works, but I must say you really impressed me, and I think I faved a large part of your gallery! ^^ Also, your progress is mind blowing. It's amazing to see how far people can go when they truly want something. I'm honestly mindblown, so your skills doesn't only work on kids! ^^ Believe in yourself, and keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing what you come up with next! :3
