				 I think we're all curious just how rare those actual critiques are.       _________________ [url=http://starrust.com][img]http://starrust.com/images/linksout/starrust2.gif[/img][/url] |

				 Yeah.  What's up with that?  Just because someone is really good at their specialty (you, for example, with realism) doesn't mean they specialize in everything, such as anime.  I remember you once saying that you can't draw anime at all; neither can I.  They should go find someone whose gallery is flooded with Inuyasha pics or whatnot.
 
 
My last 5 comments were all "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" until the page's margins were expanded and you couldn't even see the art without scrolling horizontally.  I instantly delete those.  My most commonly received comment, however, is always a quote from a cartoon.  As if I hadn't heard that quote a million times before.   <_<   _________________ [url=http://starrust.com][img]http://starrust.com/images/linksout/starrust2.gif[/img][/url] |

				 I just assume those people put the same thing on everyone's gallery, hoping someone will take their request.  Same with the people who write "NEAT! PLZ LOOK AT MAH ART!!!!!! ^___^"  
 
 
I'm trying to afford summer tour season tickets and start a series of playing cards.  No time for stupid anime characters.      Unless they'll pay.  I'll do anything for money.  ^_^

				|  Yeah, you'd think that your pic was an advertisement with all the 'plz look at my art!' comments. Surprisingly, my last comment was constructive critism.  |

				 Yesterday I received about 10 comments from one person touring (the older half of) my FAC gallery.  Every comment they left was to the tune of "Awesome *favs* " except one, which was "can you do a request?  (email address)".
 
 
Guess which comment I deleted?  I gave them a profile comment telling them (among other things) to check out our forums.  _________________ Strata here: [url=http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/242293]Nanowrimo[/url] - [url=www.fanart-central.net/user-Stratadrake.php]FAC[/url] - [url=http://stratadrake.deviantart.com]dA[/url] - [url=www.furaffinity.net/user/Stratadrake/]FA[/url]

				 [quote]and start a series of playing cards[/quote] I hope to see more of the card series, they look good so far    
 
 
comments!?! what are comments? in FACt, what are views. the last picture I posted here, I thought was a pretty sexy little number of ToniBo for Valentines day. I think it recieved about 50 views since then and 2 comments, the last was just something like "very nice." hey but I guess its better than nothing  <_<   _________________ 'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession.

    Gonna do some of the bigger names next, I think.  Would probably generate more interest than the relatively obscure Mike M.  _________________ "I care about people as much as I care about lawn furniture" - Dexter/Michael C. Hall |

I get that too. So I immediately comment back saying, "who in hell's living f**k is that?"
 
 
I never get critiques. Ever. I so want them. But they never come. I'd settle for a half-intelligent reply.  _________________ [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/VR_Jay/Anti_Commecial_Banners_by_Nevar530.jpg[/img] [img]http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/VR_Jay/th_myvsweetkiss1xc.gif[/img]

O.o;;; what the hell am I supposed to think from that??  |

				 It should officially be renamed to 'critiques', instead of 'comments'. Or, another link called 'add critique' should be placed next to 'add comment', and that link should pop up a window where only constructive criticisms can be written.
 
 
*edited* my last comment was a request. I might do it.  _________________ "edit : i luv james" - Layzcarter |

				 I clicked on the wrong button :/ I just got a quote from Harry Potter: "CONSTANT VIGILANCE." It got my attention ;)
 
 
I usually check on the art of people who commented as a courtesy, but sometimes... well, ya know. Some things I just don't know how to reply to. I think I saw a stick figure make out session once. They said it was Zelda.  |

"Ego boosters" . . . such a lovely term for something so putrid...  _________________ Strata here: [url=http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/242293]Nanowrimo[/url] - [url=www.fanart-central.net/user-Stratadrake.php]FAC[/url] - [url=http://stratadrake.deviantart.com]dA[/url] - [url=www.furaffinity.net/user/Stratadrake/]FA[/url]

				 [quote="VR_Jay (Will)"] I never get critiques. Ever. I so want them. But they never come. [/quote]
 
There's always critique panel..you can also ask for it in the description, anyways.. i dont remember my last comment because they were maybe 3 from the same person. 
 
 
Comments dont annoy me at all, just like dabear said its better than nothing. :o
 
 
 
EDIT: there's something missing though, some people ask in the comments what did you use to color this pic/what program did you use to color this pic and yada yada.  |

				 My last comment was actually the most useful one I've yet to receive. I got a very well broken down critique on how to improve on drawing dragons. It wasn't just constructive critisism. It also had a sense of supportiveness in it. 
 
 
I think it's great when people go beyond the extremes of "THAT'S SO KEWL" and "That totally sux!" Ego boosters are fine now and then, but I much prefer comments that aid an artist in perfecting their own style, technique and ability.
