Members you felt sorry for.

[Sketchasaurus]

I tend to feel sorry for people who use "it's my style" or "artistic liberties" as defense for not taking critique, because they severely limit any potential that they may have towards improving. Though when they prove themselves to be self-righteous compliment-seekers, I have little sympathy for them. I mean, I enjoy seeing people who are passionate about improving and constantly want to better themselves, though I don't tend to show it much.

I also feel generally offput by those who relegate themselves to only doing fanwork; While I'd like to help give c+c on most work, I can't bring myself to be invested in anymore Sonic, Mario, Zelda, etc. sprites enough to give honest critique despite that being a common place where I'm sure most, if not all, of us started in the first place.

I don't have anyone in particular that comes to mind when it comes to pity or feeling directly sorry for, partially because it'd be arrogant to put myself above people who are in a different stage of their own personal growth, and also because I don't like to focus on things that could've been when it's all a closed book anyways. Yeah, some members have been nuisances and I've griped when some have gotten on my nerves, but after the fact I'd rather focus more on the present and the positives.
