I can understand being disappointed, but that is the problem with being exceptionally good at anything--you just have to deal with the fact that some people don't live up to your skill level.

This goes double for art exchanges/fic exchanges, and if it is that big of a deal, you can always ask for/find a sample of their artwork before slaving over something unique.

That's not how it's worked in any exchange of any type I've ever participated in. It's usually a circle exchange so the person you're creating for isn't the person who's making something for you - you don't know the person who is making something for you.

I understand your point about being good at anything - however, I am NOT a good enough artist to assume that my artwork is at all sufficient to please someone in an exchange, and so (because I have two brain cells to rub together) I don't volunteer to participate in them. I can still draw for myself and post stuff anywhere I like, but I'm not going to ruin an exchange for someone else with my own crummy artwork (and I've seen WAYYYY worse than mine in some fests).

I just don't understand how people delude themselves that their lumpy chibis or whatever are appropriate to gift someone. :/ That's also a problem where, when lumpy chibi-type art IS posted, everyone leaves positive comments (so as not to hurt any feelings) and that only reinforces the presence of subpar art.

Thank you, anon, you express pretty much all my concerns.
