Gibson's Book of Awesomeness
My trials and tribulations in this strange world of anime addicts and sprites whose legs move like crazy.
I wish I could title this journal entry, because I would call it "You dare question my art ability? I shall backhand thee!"

I shouldn't be so butt hurt about it, but some constructive criticism would be nice. I put up a picture in the art arena, and I guess "arena" was a good name for it since I guess we are taking cheap shots. However, that does give me the desire to try harder. Some sixteen year old girl looked at my picture and said, "...4/10".

It annoyed me, I'll admit to that.

Granted, that is a drawing I drew a long time ago, but it still irks me that she puts it down for some reason that she doesn't even want to bother listing. She has probably seen better, and there are some things that I know might look strange to other people if they don't know the story I formulated in my head (such as the extra long arms on the monsters) but at least tell me why it deserves a freakin' "F".

(See, I have a math mind as well. 4/10 = 40% = F...at least that's what all my graded tests told me). razz

At least I can thank that girl for giving me the incentive to make a new picture and just make it awesome. Bah, it's not like she's a jerk or anything. I was just a little hurt that somebody didn't think that much of my art work. Maybe she is really objective and my drawing is better than %40 of what she's seen. Yeah...that's it. I'll keep telling myself that. rolleyes

Sadly I have found that Gaia is a really bad place to get art help at... You either get people who just want to stop by and say "Yeah that's cool" or you get the total opposite with people running through for gold who just rate you down to be jerks. Then again I've seen a lot of people out to be mean to artist just so they can have some power trip and make someone feel horrible. But that is the way the whole art world seems to be... I just think it's a lot rougher on Gaia.

Could you link to the art you posted? I have not seen Paul art in a long time! (Well besides the stuff on your myspace and your background image.) I've always loved Paul-art!
