CRITIQUING THE WINNERS! Retiring - Thank you, everyone. <3

[Pikachew]

I've decided to stop critiquing because it has become difficult for me to keep up. What were once two equally sized children on a seesaw have become a morbidly obese kid on one end while the other child orbits Neptune. I remember when it took me no more than 2 hours to critique, but it's gotten to the point where most of my day is consumed and I sit here drooling as if I've been playing Farmville for 9 straight hours.

I feel like a 3 year old with separation anxiety, only my pixelated mother has dropped me off in the real world and isn't coming back. My flesh can't come second to pixels. I know I've made promises. I'm sorry I can't keep them, but I have to make sacrifices, no matter how hard it is to let go.

This might come off as pretty cheap, but to those whom I have hurt emotionally, I apologize. Some of you took pride in your work only to have it ripped apart by harsh critics such as myself. Please understand that threads like mine are meant for catharsis and in no way should be taken seriously. I serve to appease the angry viewers and offer help when it's asked for. This Forum consists of critics who are much nicer.

From my old audience to my newcomers, thank you. I appreciate all of your support, laughter, and criticism of my criticism. I won't be leaving the forum. You'll see me around the comment section if anything, but I'll miss doing what has been my gaia life for the past 3 years.

Alright. Bring out the champagne bottles. That's one less titan out of the way.

It sounds silly, but I love you all dearly. Thanks for reading. You're not an a*****e.

5/8/9 of Original and 3/7 of cosplay were the only ones that ABSOLUTELY wow'd me this week (36) ... No offense and congrats on the win, guys, but your entries sucked. sweatdrop

I never do a double-take. Ever. But I had been looking away from the screen as I scanned the threads and then did a LITERAL double-take when I saw your name next to a thread.

WELCOME. BACK.
