Listen, some people work better toward their strengths. You go with your strongest feeling. For some, the most enjoyable art is what they do solely for themselves, regardless of technique. For me, and my friend here, these pieces were made for ourselves and for our friends. They were inspired by fun and from laughing and from good things. If you cannot see that, maybe you should look to your inner self and how art really makes you feel. You are an AMAZING artist, but are you sure you haven't lost part of yourself?

I knew I shouldn't post that comment!
anyway, here's what I ment by that comment - just that little more effort and you'll have a great art work, I just loved the idea, maybe because my poor english I couldn't explain it better, but I did usnderstood that it was made for fun but to me - and I am ordinary viewer - who wasn't there when you made the piece, this just have great potential to grow into something better (technicaly). Into something that everyone could enjoy in some popart gallery or something. yes, I admit that usually best pieces I have made comes from productive, laughable dialogue with my friends and/or family, and I am making my art for myself, usually what you see in me talking to myself, but I do like to talk with my self beautifull, in perfect technique, otherwise after some time I don't like myself, (not to use stronger words for 'don't like' ). well that's just me I guess...
hmm 'made for ourselves and for our friends' - now I feel like interrupting something private, I guess I won't comment on other people works at public places like DA for a while
please, don't get mad

Oh god, I'm so sorry! I was just feeling a little bitchy, and thought you were "attacking" my friend. I was actually really lucky that you didn't write something REALLY mean back. You did not deserve any of those comments AT ALL. I don't know you, and I was just trying to say the meanest things possible. If anyone looked at your art, they would have to be blind not to see that it is something you enjoy very much, and that you work very hard at making it perfect. I'm intensely loyal to my friends, and I normally defend them before I defend myself. We both also realize that when we accepted "critiques" for our artwork, we were going to get all sorts of comments. In life, you cannot expect to always have a perfect review, especially if you're a still-developing artist. That is what helps you learn. Please don't let me keep you from giving advice. Why don't you finish a negative critique with a complement and a suggestion. Again, soooo sorry. I'll just go ahead and take that comment off.........
