i have a problem and i wanted to address it to the guild n___n
i come here for critique and i feel like everyone is willing to give it, but the general aesthetic is nice crisp line art and smooth CG coloring or something along that line. so my art isn't really understood/accepted and it sucks
personally i think concept is thrown to the side here and technique is pushed to the front sighhhhh
so umm i dont know i just wanted to say that b/c i dont think its right or im being a big baby or somegthing

sometimes it might help to put down what exactly you want people to critique you on? if you want more towards a concept and less on technique it might be good to address it when you post your work. it's pretty vague to just put your artwork up and then expect people to critique it in the way that you want without giving them some sort of guideline or expectation on what you want from your viewers.

most of the time people go for the technique first because it's the easiest to critique. style and concept is a little more difficult because of the wide variety that's out there :3

i know that peeps cant read my mind or anything but i just feel like the art f** guild caters to certain genres and so the critiques are based on those kinda and it just seems like its the opposite of the point of the guild a little bit??? sigh
and yeh i understand the thing about technique i guess

well, reading minds can't really go both ways either...in like assuming that members of the guild only cater to certain genres. in a sense it feels like both parties are expecting too much from one another without giving the other some incentive or some direction in what they want.

while you're in the right to point it out i think its worth mentioning that having your art misunderstood or misinterpreted or critiqued improperly is going to be something that you will have to deal with throughout most or all of your career as an artist

frankly i think some of your stuff is either already good conceptually or, on the other side, completely beyond me because i just dont get it, so since this is a guild based around critiques and improvement, i will critique what i am able to critique

I'm all about concept over technique, which gets me into fights on occasion with people who paint bunnies and unicorns.

I like your work but it is difficult to give you a useful critique because it seems like you have usually achieved what you are going for.
