To the OP of 37 -

I'm perfectly happy to read your opinion on said art. Heck, I would like to thank you, because reading through the comments on this is the first time I've had any crit on what is BAD/NEEDS IMPROVEMENT about the pic, rather than the usual 'cute' and such (I'm sure you're aware, with the amount of people on DA, crit isn't given out much). So at least now I've gotten some insite into the colouring, anatomy, shapes and 'orange boobs'. X3

However, it's typical fashion to complain about things like this on DA and that's something I'll just never understand. Of course the amount of faves and comments and views on a picture rarely reflect the quality of the piece itself. If they did, there may (although I say that lightly) be less complaints on things that make the main page each day. I simply draw what I like for fun (that above picture, for example, was a gift to Ashelin's Voice Actress, which she did like in the end when I gave it to her).

I can understand your anger towards the amount of attention on my work over Luna's (I actually watch her and very much enjoy her art - both Jak themed and others. She's a very talented artist in my eyes) but if you're so very much into her work getting out there, why are you not going around sharing it to the rest of the net? people seem to spend more time complaining about the 'popular' people on DA and how bad they are, instead of going out and trying to support and introduce more people to the better stuff out there.

I'm no stranger to the fact that my art is pretty bland and bad. It's why I take crit when I can get it these days, because it can help (it's just rare to get. I fear people think that because I'm popular, I or my followers won't take it).

In any case, I do think Luna deserves more attention. It's hard to get now in a slowly dying fandom (one would hope that ends if NDI does go back to Jak, now that they've started talking about a Jak for the PS3 now that Uncharted's first game is done, but we shall see). Prehaps you should have posted a link to her DA account in your secret, if only to promote her more? :3

Hun, if you ever want crit, I dunno know you too well, but I wouldn't mind, I know how much it can be needed, and very much respect someone asking for it.We can do trades!

Hey, thanks ^^ That's all I can think to say--just thanks ^^ -hugs-

[identity profile] keysha-chan.livejournal.com 2008-01-04 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs* You know I love ya! You doubled that just for the Kon-love alone (XP) But you're one of my fave Jak artists to date. :3

Just wanted to say that it's amazing to see someone who's so big in fandom- or on dA in general- be so cool, calm, civilized and frank. Plus taking crit. It's amazing to see, and while I'm not the hugest fan of your art (would like to say I like it, though) I really respect you for that! <3

[identity profile] keysha-chan.livejournal.com 2008-01-05 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
:3 Well, for one, I don't see the point in getting angry over someone else's opinion, even if it's negative towards me. It sucks when people think they can't have an opinion without being attacked (hence why this community is so great. :3)

And I'll admit when I was first new to DA and such, I got pretty darn butt-hurt over crit until I saw that it was there as help, not a personal attack. There are some obvious people on DA who've really made a bad name for those who are BFNs or what-else on DA who make everyone else look bad, but I know of some who are actually very decent about it.

Thanks for letting me know I'm doing good in the people respect, though. ♥
