Hey, it's a good page. I like your work. Folks like you are the reason I got into rpg's and wargaming: I love the art.

Ha. It's like she's trying to put her leg between the bow and the string. Oops.

Well, that's not the only problem with it, if you read the comments, but nice design and composition ....

I would like to disagree. Praise is as important as criticism. Praise let's you know what it is that one is doing right. Further more it can inspire one to keep going. If someone only hears what is being done wrong...depending upon the person's character...they could just quit. Not the best answer, but one that is understandable when someone is feeling they are just doing wrong and wasting their time.
That said, you should take the next step and post some work. It is hard on DA to get any real feedback...but you will get some, and that helps. A better spot for feedback is wetcanvas [link] .
None the less DA is a great place to have an online presence and a show of a body of work.
I wish you the best in your endeavors.
By the way...critiques given with thought and sensitivity are not brutal.
Brutality does not have to be a part of honesty and helpfulness.

My original comment was posted with a specific audience in mind--the casual browser whose presence is so prevalent on this site (or so it would seem from what I have seen so far). I know that my critique guidelines will not be followed to the letter, and it is my hope that what I have written above will simply eliminate or greatly reduce the amount of simple "nice job" or "great work" comments that don't really help anyone. I don't really think that honest, helpful critique is brutal, bet, in general, the people who are reluctant to give such criticism think it is such. You are not one of those people, and I hope that, once the holidays are over and I have taken the time to post some work, you will comment.

But I suppose this conversation is a moot point until then .

It's nice to see an artist willing to take this stance with their work! To bad ionen [link] does not feel this way about his ...
I too think that there are far too many people blowing sunshine up other artist's rear ends, so to speak. Most don't even take the time to notice simple errors in their own work or that of others, before saying,"This is beautiful i love anything that uses a bow !"
I hope you get what you are asking for, but remember that you did ask for it, more than anyone else.

I can definitely see your point!
I hope your holiday is a good one. I would skip them if I didn't have little girls to delight and amaze every year.
