Heh, I never thought I'd find you here in tSR waging war against everyone. Here's my comments.

Please read all my comments first. It's not so much that I'm trying to be defensive, I just don't like using anti-aliasing, it's more of a habit from spriting where you can't use enough shades to make it effective. I'm willing to give it a shot, although at the moment I'm not in the mood to be working on these.

Well, for one, you have endless possibilities for making a cool shading style better than the flat one you have now. You say you don't like some of the crits, but without trying them, you won't be getting anywhere.

I gave it a try, taking from the crits given here.



Believe me when I say this, most of the members here have been at this for years now, and they actually know what they're saying. It's not a good idea to go defensive on everything hurled off at you just because you don't like it.

Heh... while the style works for you, I see what you did to my art and it feels to me like you ruined it. When I made it, it wasn't meant to have that much dimension to it. It's not supposed to have a completely 3D-ish look, which is why I didn't give it the level of shading you guys are telling me to do. I like the simple shading style, just one bright and one dark shade, occasionally a shine or a deep shadow, but only where the design demands it.

More than that, if you knew people here would be this critical of my work, why didn't you say anything back on KS when everyone else was telling me I should put it up for submission here? You didn't even post a comment on it back on the other site.

Your too lazy to listen to our advice. Your just talking yourself out of actually putting some effort into making your pixels better. Your lineart could be smoother, along with your shading. Your colors need more contrast, and they look to saturated. You should appreciate what we are giving you to make your work better. Now you just need to at least listen to it.
