Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

It doesn't take a genius to see that your basic grasp of anatomy is mediocre at best. I'm not saying don't draw, but don't praise your art as if it was the most awesome thing since toast, please.

I don't think you look bad in the pictures, although I do wonder why you post them on deviantart for all the world to see. But I guess that's your decision.

However, you seem to have a lot of issues with RPers at once (not to mention your spelling; you had to be pointed out errors before realising there were more than one. Also; "offten"?), and they are all merging into one big wankfest.

-You dislike people taking pics... of anything. Apparently.
-You like OCs
-You dislike people playing canon characters OOCly

Now, while I can agree with your basic reasoning behind these points, the way you bring your points is seriously flawed. People playing canon characters are no less creative, in fact, I would wager they are more so, for being able to crawl into someone else's creation and try and make the character work ICly. I'll grant you, most people just wing it, which hurts. But you're throwing the child away with the bathwater here.

Moving on... PBs? Who cares? If you put your emphasis on originality of the character and writing, creating your own image for your OC shouldn't be such a big deal.

Also, for the future, if you make a big deal about you being God's gift to RPing and how much better you are than everyone, at least use the spellcheck. That's my number one pet peeve when it comes to RPing.

I never said and was not trying to claim that my RPing or drawing was better than anyone else's. I am sorry if it came off that way, but I really wasn't trying to seem that way. Five seconds on DA is more than enough for me to know it.
I spell horribly, that is a given, I type too fast and don't look back to fix most things. My fault, no excuses.
Yes, I put too much stuff in one place and shouldn't have. Rant turned into secret turned into me sending before I thought about it more. Dumb, I know.

Everyone is welcome to their opinion. I like OCs better because Non-OCs make me feel trapped and bored.

I didn't really think about the PB thing, one of the first comments was about it. I have my ideas about it, but who cares? Clearly no one. I wasn't trying to emphasize the drawing part of it, I honestly like writing descriptions more, but I doodle in my free time. It seemed like a good idea at the time to put my own work up as a base than something I found because the nature of what I was saying.

I get the spell check thing again. I'm more careful in posts, in general(if no one has noticed), than I was on the secret. Sorry.
I get the point.
Thank you for at least being respectful about this though. I take even that much effort on your part as a gift.

It's just that you used yourself as an example vs. every bad player, that's why it comes off that way. And about the spelling, I'm just saying, if you do that during RP it will rub people the wrong way, because no spellcheck makes you look lazy and you will seem like you're winging it, just like the people you rant about not putting in an effort.

I don't have that problem, and I think you should either learn, or respect the fact that other people don't have the same problem. OCs quickly turn into Mary Sues, because people get carried away with the liberties of it all.

Well, I can see description vs. generic (anime) character very well, but it seemed like you were implying for people to have to draw, otherwise you weren't putting in enough effort. I understand your point better now though, and though it may have been better put, I agree with you.

Hah, you should realise though, the secret is read by MANY people (F!S is huge!) and if you're ranting about an issue that is so text-based, you should make pretty damn sure your text is practically flawless before submitting. And think about phrasing better. Take it as a lesson? I've done the same thing before, if it makes you feel any better; phrase a secret so horrible that everyone took offense. Whoops.

Nah, the personal attacks on you were getting to me a bit - the finding your stuff was a tad out of line.

I get the point. Mistake made. Lesson learned.
Thank you for not joining the others.
