That is also the reason I tell people to filter their criticisms. The biggest thing about criticism is this, it's an opinion. To achieve the maximum amount of creativity and expressiveness from opinions you need to understand how they are telling you to look at the subject. When I see most of the replies to his comic, I see use customs, sprite comics are a bad route, DC comics structure, go flashy. When I see his comic, I see blog style story telling, sonic and mario sprites, and a basic good layout for the comic in were he's not going over the top but also getting his point across neatly. Can you see how different the last two sentences were? That's the reason I say filter criticism, because the propective of certain criticisms just doesn't apply to certain people yet. This doesn't mean close yourself off from learning, it means learn in your own time and not others. Just like when you're making sprites, if you're working on proportion and you're asking about proportion but everyone is talking about shading and you start working on that to you screw yourself.
That's why I say people rambling about make customs and urber layouts is a bit stupid. It's almost like telling a baby to walk. He doesn't just get up and say, "YAY I can walk." He learns instinctively and moves towards it to better themselves. But when you just keep picking him up putting him on his legs and letting him fall down well that's just plain child abuse.
