Okay,who did I piss off? It is true I'm not one of the best tip-top illustrators on Newgrounds (The competition is BRUTAL! So many talented people post their art on here!) but "this" getting a 2.33? I don't even mind the score,more that there's simply no criticism or explanation at the time I'm writing this. (And I have seen "worse" get higher marks! This is kind of what irks me about the art community. Often things degenerate into a mere popularity contest.)
Vivian James is lame!
I'm sorry you feel that way but that's subjective.
Gamergaters are turds! Fuck #gamergate!
Again, sorry you feel that way but that's subjective.
Stop posting your shit art!
Not going to happen. Rate me down all you want but I'm here to stay like a tick on a donkey's juicy ass. (Like a Shrek on Donkey's ass? That works too!) I have other pieces I worked on that got low ratings and it did not stop me then so do you think it will stop me now?
I just don't like you,Ben!
I feel you. There are assholes in the art community I do not like either. But at the end of the day if they make art that makes me laugh or is not "complete garbage" I'll still tip my hat to them! You're going to find in the real world even people you admire are flawed pathetic meat-bags like the rest of us. This is why I don't claim to be something I'm not or put myself on a pedestal. You may not like my face,not like my age,or not like my opinions but at least you're getting all that honestly from my hip with no deceptions.
When you critique the critics it just shows you cannot handle criticism!
Well,what a convenient position to have! So, you can critique me and it is okay but if I critique you I'm a salty snowflake by default? Sorry, but it does not work like that. This is a two way street,hot-rods! Besides, as of writing this I didn't get any constructive criticism at all,only a 2.33 score. What am I suppose to do with that? "Guess" what I did incorrectly?
Look,I wrote that scything criticism you asked for!
Oh,you mean "after" I brought this up? So am I to believe it is non bias and totally not done just to help you save face? Do I really have time for this? C'mon fam, I know you're bored. This lock-down has driven us all bat-shit crazy but please put your energies into more positive pursuits! Don't like my art? Welp,continue to make your own art or make some music!
Peace,I'm out!

PS: Thank you to the person that bumped me up to an "almost" 3! Seriously for me a "3" is a good rating! I realize I'm not Jim Lee,Todd McFarlane,Luis Royo,Milo Manara,or Frank Frazzetta but I at least put in actual effort! I also don't mind criticism but without a written reply I'm just shooting in the dark without a compass......
