Hah.
So I've just been told by an asshat in some chatroom I frequent that all my stuff looks the same. She then proceeded to give me tips.
Not meaning to sound bigheaded, I *hardly* consider myself part of the "Artist Elite" but, in the hierarchy of the art world, I refuse to take advice from her. Like it or not, there are people who are better than others. I can think of billions better than me, many who I take great inspiration from, who's work has awesomeness levels I can only dream of replicating with my own. But this kid is leagues behind. I wouldn't go up to someone and tell them how they could improve their work. I make a point to pick out things I *Like* about pictures when commenting on them. I'm goofy that way. I can take crits, but I cant give them, because I feel mean and like I'm telling the artist that they suck at this and somehow my advice will make them better at what they do, and that I think I'm better than them... But I'm just silly.
Not to mention she just enjoys stirring shit with whoever she isnt best bosom buddies with. She's already pissed off a friend of mine today with offhand comments and pointless asshattery.
AARRGH. I frustrate easy enough without some dink with issues helping it along.

... Though my reply has no real point to it... I do agree that folks that have more to say then do have little to pull for in the end.
Oh noes I'm being motivational o_o
Keep up the good work.
I love yer art. I can safley say I find inspiration in your work. If that means anything to you at all.
There's only one cure for asshats. Remember: "It takes a lot of muscles to frown but only 14 to bitchslap someone up the side of the head."
*snerk* asshat... What a funny word.
And yes, asshat.. I often find myself trying to puzzle out the meaning of the word and it makes me laugh.
