The Conceptart forum does seem like a daunting place, but if you really want to post art, why not try the Sketchbooks (http://conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=f5dccca053e8e3ed5d330be276f23a83&f=41) section first? You'll be surprised at how many people just starting out in art are posting their work there every day and get positive comments and critique too! There's also a Mentoring (http://conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=f5dccca053e8e3ed5d330be276f23a83&f=137) section now too, where you can look for a mentor to guide you and help you improve with your work. That's what you're looking for, right?

My personal experience with posting at the forum: I've only posted a few times. The first time, the art I showed clearly had Japanese-anime-manga influences but it didn't discourage people from replying to my post. I remember the comments being very positive and encouraging. However, the art was definitely not fan art and original concepts, which is what they want in the first place.

Some anime-style original art that was posted before have received lots of replies. The forum has had artists from Korea, Japan and China posting, and yeah, some of their stuff was fawned over like crazy. I'll have to add that the posts that got the most comments displayed female characters with, uhm, gigantic boobs, so I'll let ya wonder about that. *lol*

Here's the thing though; it seems only certain anime-influenced styles are received positively there. If your style goes something along the lines of Snapesnogger's (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=62767&highlight=Snapesnogger) ... yeah, I wouldn't count on a lot of good responses. (In fact, if you follow the link, you'll see exactly why she's made it even more difficult for artists with obvious anime styles to post at Conceptart forums now. :P)

[(Anonymous)]

I know better than to post a chibi naga or a super anime/cartoon stylized piece of crap on conceptart :D;; (How are people even suppose to critique those types of things anyway?)

My problem is that I have a lot of fanart that I want help on. (with characters in action poses to practice perspective/foreshortening, and a few fanarts that were used as color studies) but it'd be like suicide to post fanart on conceptart D: If I had more life drawings, or even some original art, then it wouldn't be so embarassed about my art. I'm just so ashamed of my fanart.

Thanks for the encouraging comments though, it's nice to hear about other's peoples experience on CA XD

<---rushed, wish i could give a better reply
