The fourth rule is so true! Once a girl said that one of my characters looks like Sonic...
I WAS SO PISSED OFF!!! *rage mode*

Yes, I hate Sonic

Hmm...you have a good point!People need to spell.
And I still don't get why people don't take the time to look over their comment.

I completely agree with you. ^^ Thank you so much for making this! I just hope people will take the time to read it. -.-

yes! great that someone finally says sth now! thank you!
I think it is sad, that people give too less critique. It is hard to improve yourself.
All your hints you wrote on your deviation are all so right. thanks again!

Wonderful ideas. ^_^ I like how you compounded them into an attractive deviation as well.

More people need to listen to this. Would you mind if I posted this on Gaia? (Giving credit to you of course :3)

So true, so true!
Btw, you spelled "vulgar" wrong...

Cool, I'll fav this and help spread the word.
Actually, I'm guilty for #6, I usually use it for sugarcoating my critics if I don't have enough good points to balance out the techniques et al. comments I make. Maybe I should focus more on giving positive feedbacks
I received #4 a lot and #8 sounds kinda scary O.o
I don't mind #4 when it's mentioned for the first time or if its used as a side comment, but I would imagine it getting repetitive if someone reuse their precious OC.
BTW on the artist side of #7, I see lots of "This was a rush job... I know there's a lot of mistake... how should I improve it"-type comments. Seriously, if you know that there's a lot of mistake, atleast state some of them or stay neutral about it. It's so hard to give well-constructed comments on these.

Xp what I hate is when an artist puts down that the want help getting better, but get upset when you do point em out.

If they don't have critique encouraged enabled and sound like someone who's about to jump a bridge or something, I tend to ignore their work (or atleast wait for the first brave soul to critique before me

eh, I guess I'm justa bitch.

Oh, this is excellent! I'm going to try to show this around! OwO
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Amen! This is exactly what I'm talking about!
It's so good to know that there are others who understand the difference between favoriting a work of art and knowing why they would favorite it. Fellow deviants who I know personally are actually annoyed by pure appraisals and feel their true effort is ignored or not taken seriously. And I don't blame them, how does "Cuuuute, I want it!" sound serious?
I quit that a long time ago.

you're welcome ^_^
it's sad how many "cool." comments one gets. or smart ass remarks >.< one picture a guy asked me if the guy sitting on the other's shoulder was gonna break the other's neck. I'm sad to say I blew up amazingly at him.
what pisses me off the most are artists that hate getting critques and are simply happy with 500+ comments that say the same vapid thing.

Insecurity at best. No real pride in their work.
I hate getting critiques or comments (at school) that attempt to refute my original interpretation and if anything are belligerent and crass. (I'm sure I'm just being a baby, since this is just a part of life, but) I have no time for negativity. Lately, I have been sticking closer to that "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" adage and if I see little to no improvement or variety in someone's work, something I look for almost exclusively, I make suggestions or just don't say anything.
If anything, your words should be a standard for the site. They are completely true. People have to learn to appreciate art and not just comment.

now, if some ppl wouldn't make not being mean so hard >.< I admit I'm sort of a bitchy person naturally...
but yeah, ppl need to appreciate art and not just gush at every stupid thing.

Very nice
I like all the little designs/doodles and what-not in the background! ^^

But- but- but-
What if we're smart lemmings about it? Can exceptions be made?
If not, would you like a cupcake of +10 awesome for making this deviation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well I do like cupcakes....
unfortuantly lemmings and smart don't seem to go together. :/ they go off and overreact to everything and perform group flamings and such. man, you should see the sonic fandom, those are the perfect example of lemmings. apparently there is a group, and if anyone says anything bad against one of them(I'm not allowed to name them unfortunatly) they ALL come after you.

YES! XD I completely(sp?) agree with what you said! My favourite ones are 1, 5, 7, and 8. Especially number 5, alot of great pictures have been taken down by the artist because so many people said that what the picture was depicting was wrong! ...

though there are certain things I think should never ever be drawn >.>

I like to give myself a cookie every time I say buttocks instead of ass and/or pelvis instead of crotch. ^_^
You know, the background for this would make an adorable wallpaper.

ah, like my "I can't think of anything to doodle so I'm gonna use random stamp brushes" technique, eh?
some days I feel like I must hand out lists of propernames of body parts to some ppl. "titties" and "jugs" just piss me off for some reason
*gives you a cookie*

I still call them boobs most of the time; breasts never look like they are spelled right to me.

Amazing how many people don't consider these common sense nowadays... ;^.^

This is very true, nice and honest! :worhip: I just hope others will give time to read and learn from this!

I agree with all of the things on this list, except #4.
I don't mind someone saying my work looks similar to someone else's.
Usually it's a complement for me and I like to see where my work is different from theirs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I still don't think it's such a big deal.
Sorry, but I don't.

it depends if you are trying to do an original charecter, and someone comes along and thinks it's inuyasha.
