well i can't personally speak for everyone and i'm not trying to sound concieted or stuck up or anything....but i often find myself going through threads and not leaving replies simply because i don't find anything that catches my interest.
thats understandable, its basic human nature to be pulled to subjects that you find visually appealing, hell Im guilty of just viewing my self many times.

and please don't take this the wrong way....i don't mean this in an offensive way, but your art is on subject matter (or media) that i, myself, don't have much interest in. like for instance...i don't really care for still photography and i've seen so much ridiculously good 3d in my studies that those low poly models don't really impress me.
fair enough photography is something Ive always had an interest in photography but have only really focused on it due to my art college not having a drawing/illustration module(yeah I know how bloody dumb). so for me its a sort of a case of everything at one time. once I get some of my illustration stuff finished Ill be posting loads of it.
on the subject of the models, Ive said it many times that I dont actually make them myself. I only produce the texture maps in PS. the models are meant for in game use on the pc game freedom force, I believe the lowest numbers of polys is around 2k. there's not meant to be life like 3D models, but I can vouch for there quality, each model is animation with certain characters having specific animation. now I know from what Ive seen of your 3d you know how tricky texture mapping can be.

i don't think anyone has any quarrels with you, and i hate to put it so bluntly, but that's just the reason I, MYSELF, feel.....but don't let that prevent you from making more art. just remember that real artists don't need other people's appraisal to enjoy art ;-)
I couldnt have put it better my self. I learned a long time ago that it is best to draw for yourself, but it also not wise to shut yourself off from the critique and advice of other artists. I have no qualm with taking negative feedback Ive had plenty it all helps an artist grow. simple positive and negative feedback is great but its similar to none it doesnt help you to grow. for you taking the time to post in a well thought out manor I am extremely grateful.
DF my friend I have been on these art boards from the beginning, hell me and mr.smash and bash were two of the first lot that campaigned for a fan art board, I ant going anywhere no matter what crap this place throws at me. what caused me to asked was that in the past I was part of the heated debates on this board about artists, there work and how the interacted with other members and was just curious if some of this was still being carried over
thanks for taking the time to view my work and to post
