I had posted a picture of Star Dust on and *Ahem* site that I will be kind enough to not mention. I went to this site to find a comment and thought "what joy I have a comment". Tell me what you all think about this comment.

Tilt her head down and have her look at the camera. Give her some expression to get rid of the killer "CGI Doll" look. Expression and some life in the face and around the eyes will go more toward making an image come to life, than anything. Making a piece of art is more than lights, breathe life into her with a little passion and emotion and the rest tends to take care of itself. (Better lights and render setting don't hurt,either! LOL)                                                

Now my reply to this.

Have you ever had a camera look straight at some one and they appear to be looking up into the heavens.*Bingo* I did that. As far as the expression I thought she should give her that look because I did that when I was a Pro Photographer. As for expressions around the face, well we are back to square one with the first suggestion. Making a piece of art is more than lights but with out them you can't see the work you made so well one would think. The rest to take care of itself leads me with nothing. Because it would be you makeing the art not me. Last but not least it is not constructive critisim for the last part of your ideas make fun of my work. You should look art art on a wall. Not spit on it.

The last part really got to me. I had notified the Administrator about this. The guy is even a Moderator there. GEEEZ.

Yes, it's a very annoying comment because it sounds exactly like the writer think to be superior, It's not like when a talented artist give you a suggestion to improve the picture but he or she says "do this, do that or your picture is a crap", lol, I could to the same even for Leonardo da Vinci's Monna Lisa ('cmon guy, more tits! Or nobody is gonna watching that nun!). I'm sorry Kenny but you already know that the world is full of this kind of people   , don't be worried and laugh at it      

Tda42; I agree with your opinion of the comment.

It reminds me of a personal philosophy:
"Opinions are like assholes, whenever you show yours off you place yourself in an awkward position."

I agree with Tormie; Laugh it off.

Peace & Power 2U  

Sounds a bit harsh unless you specifically asked for a hard and brutally honest critique. So, bugger 'em  

I design Shops, Bars and Restaurants. I sent one design to an approvals architect for a shopping centre, a Russian guy i think he was, a man of few words. His response to my design by phone went like this...

Ring, ring...

"Hello, Ozy speaking."

"This is Lubo. Your design. It's rubbish."

"Huh. What do you mean?"

"It's crap."

Click....burrrrrrrrrrr

Nice guy. In the end the client loved it and it went ahead almost unchanged after about two weeks of argument with Lubo.

Ignore the idiot and enjoy your art, Kenny. We all do.  

Send Lubo a bottle of Vodka, it should make things run easier  

I agree with the others Kenny, don't let the jerks out there spoil your art, you know the old saying, you can't please everyone all of the time and sometimes it's better to not even try, that way you never get disapointed
My feeling is, I do my art for me, if I like it, then it's worth doing, if others like it, that's iceing on the cake, and if I get rich and famous for it, well I'm buying PF all a trip to Italy to spend a week with Tormie and Posy

   

If you believe it, you can achieve it. I'm glad you find this amusing.

I agee with what has been said here, as you know I have been trough a number of these types.  Some comments that make what you got for your picture sound like a compliment.  Mostly I ignore them.  If there is a helpful suggestion great, but the mean ones, I try to let them go.

  While i don't know   the guy who made the comment

I know your work.  

And I also know  what the average render is
at those web -sites,  Now for the sake of simplicity I usually refer
to them as "dazerosity" ( I assure you that that the same guys
are running Renderosity, ArtZone and Annimotions )

Remember this  my friend,  Many good professional Artists have left
those websites  -strictly due to rude, condesending comments

made by some of the site administrators.   I did.
Some of those guys   are simply     jealous  bitter individuals
and some of them have an axe to grid.

Some  were even inclined  -to go to my personal web site
and post very insulting statements about it.

this caused me  to go to their websites....

where I frankly found   little but renders     - of naked -MEN
 and  I sincerely say to you  that  you shouldn't let any comment
bother you   but especially not  if you  don't know
-the SOURCE.   The world is filled with people who have an AGENDA
and  that agenda   -isn't ART.

it's very sad that some sites end up
being  what I call  a kindagarden playground
where some bully  considers it   to be his personal "turf".

I don't know what you do for a living but you could make a living
doing this.  Before I retired one of my tasks was  judging Artwork
of Civil Service applicants -for Government Artist  Jobs.

You'd get hired.  
Not much money but good insurance and lots of holidays !

Let me start out by saying thank you for the kind compliment. As far as a job doing graphics I have always wanted to do it at home for a job. But don't know where to start. As of March my plant is shutting down and again I will be jobless. But hey! Life goes on.
