1up: I've been ignoring you, but I guess you're really determined on "exposing" me.
I'm not a critic-proof person. I take any criticism really well, I realize that almost all critique have an element of truth to them. I just absolutely *hate* it when people use "witty" ways to criticize people. However, critics should not sugar-coat their advice; they should blunt and informative, not witty and funny. How would you like it if I said, "I didn't know mario was jamacian" to one of your Mario drawings? Would you prefer that over "I think Mario's skin is too dark. He's caucasian, so his skin should be lighter"? Both are saying the same thing, but one makes the critic look like a dick. I would listen to both critics, but I would prefer to hear the more blunt one.
There are also the trolls, which I don't listen to. Critique from them is meant to" hurt" me. Those are from people I do not like, so I ignore them. That's another story, though.
I don't even recall Shawn getting banned while arguing with me in that "criticism, shut up and listen" topic.
Maybe I should refer you to this topic I made in Penny Arcade's "art" forum.

People were blunt and told me the problems of my drawings. I listened to them and kindly replied, because they were not sugar-coating anything and *most importantly* being really helpful.
I also took a figure drawing/drawing I in college. They were both 3 hours long, and both classes made me draw realistically. The first one made me draw nude models, and the second one made me draw still life. I got A's in both of them, but most importantly, I improved... somewhat (your mileage may vary). Realism is not my "thing", but I try to make my drawings as believable as possible. I'm a cartoonist at heart, and I know my fundamentals to some degree.
I had to rush on the coloring, since I only had one hour to color it.
