Shameless!!
Oh hell I did it also! *is annoyed with herself*
*huffy sigh*
Ok so I want to rant about something that isn't as important as art theft or even world peace, but it bothers me nonetheless. See I have been visiting NS for a very long time now and it was..ok is a nice community. I post c/c and comment when I feel I have something to say, mostly I just look at all the pretty pictures. Fine great, lots of people do that. I have met several NS'ers IRL and I even went to Sareney's wedding, these are some really cool peeps to know. (/purrs at Ryala)
That is all beside the point. I have posted art and it is like pulling fucking teeth to get a response there. Does my art suck that badly that no one wants to be the one to stand up and go, hey lady you suck, go try playing with finger paints. Or is it that I'm just not one of the popular kids and they don't want to talk to me. I'm really nice...no really.
Not too long ago I posted for c/c in the Pixel forum cause that's what I do and I had to prod people for help, here it was given with out asking. Go, TAC!. When I completed Ginnie's doll I posted it. It is almost off the page, been view dozens of times, but NO ONE has said a damn thing. Not even, That's just messed up. 'Cause well it is. I guess I need to not let my feelings get hurt and maybe try again, but damn if I'm even want to waste my breath. At least here I get some c/c. It's very nice to know someone cares. *sniff*
Ok I'm done. I hate to bring NS up here, but grr, I'm just annoyed.

I agree so much! I have gotten increasingly frustrated with NS, having several pieces with 0 cc posted.
If people thought it was that horrible, I would like them to tell me so. Horrible I can work with, I can't work with nothing at all. Not that a "aww that's great"/"u zux!" is overly useful either, but at least it tells me that I'm doing something right/wrong.
Ideally people say -what- is great/sucks, perhaps they even come with ideas and tips (TAKE THE HAND!!), but I think a lot of people are afraid to do so.
NS is being ruined by politenes..... It reminds me of england....

I wouldn't say NS is being ruined by politeness. In fact, I think that's why they have maintained growing interest - it is a nurturing environment for budding artists. Many people starting out can't take full on criticism well...and some continue to be that way.
NS is a good launching pad, but some people grow to need more. And again, the sheer size of the board is just overwhelming - it would take a dedicated effort to c/c everything there. And by c/c, I don't mean fluff. I mean really looking at a piece and giving good, honest crits.

/agree with Ry. That's why I'd really like to push up the level of c/c that TAC can offer. If anyone feels like they're not getting the level of c/c they want, let me or a staff member know. Feel free to pm the link of your piece to random regular users. Again, it's a way to meet the other members and let people know you're open to all input and c/c.
Again, I look back at my earlier days on NS, like in 2002/2003 and appreciate all the help I received and all the friends I made, but I dont want TAC to be anything like NS. In size or temperment. We want to be supportive but constant 'YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT' constant woe is me posts can stay at NS.
Want to learn? Kick ass. Show us your stuff!!! =) :ghug

I must admit I'm guilty of responding to c/c with excuses :) Usually the c/c points out something that I wanted to be there, but forgot to mention in my earlier post. Sometimes I do get defensive, but I've been trying to work on that LOL
I sort of gave up freehand drawing for sigs because I kept seeing such wonderful freehand work and felt I could never measure up (plus no c/c on the pieces I *did* share didn't help), but with the new 3d work I'm trying to learn now, I feel like there's enormous room for improvement and lots to learn and eventually I *can* be as good as the other folk I see posting wherever. So sometimes trying a new genre can help with feelings of inferiority.

I find it very disturbing that I have not been mentioned once in this entire thread...
