So... I made a thread on another site asking people what they thought of my art. And, most people are saying things like, "Hey! It's really good! Keep it up!" or "it's coming along nicely. Work on this, this, and this, but you're still good."
And, I like that. I like constructive criticism. Constructive being the key word here. But, then, I got a reply saying, "Your art sucks. Your characters all look like they have down syndrome"
And, this on the eve of being named Co-Admin of a new group getting started here on TheO called Project OATH (ask FUNimation for info) a group against bullying and harassing both on and offline. Now, I wouldn't say what this person said was bullying or harassment, but... it still hurt. I mean... I know my skills are lacking, but at least I knew where to work on them BEFORE this guy came on and said that... it was a real stab at the pride I took in my work.
So, a question for my fellow TheOtaku members.
What do you guys REALLY think about my art?
I know I can't win the world's heart, but I'd like to know what others think of my skills so that I'll know where to improve in the off chance I decide to go professional one day.
And, please, be aware of what you say. My ego bruises so freakin' easily.
