Azkoyen Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Opened and unpinned, cause people need to see it. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm always missing locked and pinned topics. If this topic doesn't get enough action to keep it afloat, then we'll pin it, but we'll let people have their say on it for the time being. Basically, lets let it advertise itself. Anuj, feel free to bumb it if you feel it's required. Note to spammers: I said Anuj, not the next person looking for a post_count++!

DiVaio Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I think it's time for a summary: - Telling people that their artwork sucks helps nobody. Say it sucks, and tell them why it does. You can't improve if you don't know what you've done wrong. - Don't give the better GFX'ers a reason to flame you. If you think a piece turned out well, don't be shoutin: Best piece Ever OMG!!!111!! and sh*t like that. Like Anuj said, it has to come from both sides.

OldDirtyBastard Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 When I posted my first pixel art piece I got my ass chewed out, but it's only words and in the end it makes you a stronger person. "f*ck you, you suck" only makes me try to get better, and shove it in these asshole's faces. That's just me though.

Reincarnated Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I agree that the newbies that do post, uh, less than good 'graphics' shouldn't get the sh*t flamed outta them. The main reason they can't do any better, is because no one is helping them!. When I started in graphics I was pretty sh*t, but I never posted any of my stuff. I looked at other people topics, and learned what looks good, how to balance if it looks good and my style, then read tutorials, and tried them. On my own, without help, tried to become better. Now I am a moderately good graphics, uh, person. Now not everyone is like me, they need help. Its the only way they learn. Newbies just need a chance. Give them that chance. Even if they suck, if they honestly want to become better, we should help them. People that want to become great graphicers(sp), can! Its very easy, as long as they have the drive, and the help.

You can't improve if you don't know what you've done wrong. If someone says its sucks it means that the sig (et cetera) is sh*t and you should give up on it and start a new piece.

Azkoyen Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 You might be right Toro, but that's not what's being discussed here. I (and others) are talking about the tendancy for 'vets' to attack the poster rather than the piece. Sure, you can call a piece crap if you want, but the point I'm trying to make is that saying somethings crap just isn't good enough anymore. You have to explain WHY it's crap, and possibly give advice on how to make it better. If everyone was to delete work they've done just cause one person didn't like it, well, the world would be a pretty crap place. Take my (this) post as an example, and then compare it to anuj's. I know anuj could've made a descriptive post instead of writing the tripe he did, but that's just the thing. People are used to verbal abuse in this forum, and I'd really like it to stop.

Krelian Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Constructive criticism is where it's at. It's entirely possible to tell someone they did a sh*tty job without attacking them; I do it all the time. If you don't care enough to make a comment that may be useful somehow, what point is there in posting? Posting criticism to assert your dominance is immature and stupid. Posting criticism to point out flaws in something that the creator should address is helpful and constructive. I dont tihnk i expressed myself well enough. What i meant was that if you get the sh*t ripped out of you by the 'lite it means start again because the piece if beyond help. If you get the sh*t ripped out of you by the elite and you don't come out of it with constructive points you can improve on (or at least valid flaws in whatever it is you're making), it means the 'elite' are f*cking immature pricks.

Dakin Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Yes it has. Looks like more and more topics have been popping up in this forum since this rule was implemented by Az. The threat has worked well, and that's good... but the new topics are pretty much all requests (which is the way it sort of always was) with the occasional WIP. The ultimate goal is to get more people committed to this kind of hobby, in order to have a large and higher quality body of works churning through here daily. This kind of thing will eventually help that, as we'll build up our roots (gaining initial interest in people) a bit more.

CrazyDude Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I'm not sure if the change in rules affected the community as much as the pixel fad did. Every one and their puppy on these forums is giving pixel a shot and learning. I mean it's not overly complex to do so ever one is getting envolved. These section of the forum is seeing more life then it has in a long while becuase of the 2G sponosed project. Kinda ironic that the same elite group that were killing the newb participation are now the ones that are sponosoring it. Thanks 2G.

SWEETSAPRIK Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I'd like to say that this helped me out, I posted some crappy first attempt at pixelart, I knew the "you suck set yourself on fire and jump out the window" types would flame me but figured I'd give it a shot anyway. I got one or two of those but mostly people threw a little constructive in with the criticism. I have no problem being told my work sucks especially since it does but if not for the helpful comments I would have had no chance of making any improvement.
