So, this section...

[recme]

a big reason that people don't get criticism is that most of the more experienced artists have left or don't come often anymore so there's kinda hardly anyone around who can really give much quality criticism eheheh

to be honest, giving c+c these days is nothing but a hassle. i feel that if i give a newbie some crits, they always reject the advice that is given. even if you force it down their throat, they eventually end up leaving the community because of how they felt "attacked." (ex: slapbadmine???)

i mean, why bother helping people who dont want help? this whole mindset really changed the nature of this subforum, making it out to be a showcase of progress rather than someone having a need for improvement. its becoming very similar to a blog, really.
