Chibi-Creations

[Rosencrantz]

Okay, I for one am getting tired of this guy. I'm holding back from a complete teardown on his rant because this isn't his thread for me to do this to, but there's things I just need to say.

That is also the reason I tell people to filter their criticisms. The biggest thing about criticism is this, it's an opinion.

An opinion from someone who knows what they're doing, mind you. You will quite literally be incapable of going anywhere unless you get some damn hard criticism from someone who has been in your shoes and knows what mistakes you're making.

I tried to get into a robotics thing a year ago in hopes of getting a job in their labs for the summer. I ended up failing because I realized I wasn't putting in the effort. The guy I worked for outright told me that if I couldn't get into the right work ethic, I should reconsider being an engineer entirely. I didn't become the dipshit that said "fuck you, it's your opinion that I'm not pulling my weight". I got my shit together, got another job on the campus, and now I'm helping teach in that department because I listened to the painful critique of that one guy.

This is how the real-world works. Remain sheltered if you can't handle it, buddy.

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?

I see how one's qualified while the other one isn't!!

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.

This is a poor analogy in general. You're comparing walking to sprite-comic-design. That's pretty much comparing three-dimensional calculus to addition. What you mean to say is that this is like teaching a kid how to write. That kid is only going to get as good as they're pushing themselves to become. You can't just let them do their own thing, because they'd do it wrong and continue being wrong; you need to tell them what's good and what's bad and they have to follow what YOU, the experienced writer, say in order to ever make progress.
