Formal apology

demoncage

Just wanted to officially apologize for my outburst a couple of weeks ago. It was just a bout of frustration. Hope no one took it too personally. I'm sure I'm not the first artist in history to suffer an ego fit, and to be honest the exprience was necessary in order for me to assimilate. Gave me more perspective. I'm just another guy trying to make cool work, and I hope my recent threads exemplify that. I think I was just posting my work too early on and I overreacted to crits that I wish were phrased differently but were valid given what I had at the time. All in all though, the experience gave me a ton of motivation on the piece. I have no wish to alienate anyone on here. I just want to post work, give/get feedback.

Thanks,

-Erik

Don't worry, I guess some of us can be a little childish sometimes...

Steve Schulze

I wouldn't worry about it, mate. An entire week on Polycount without some fisticuffs is a rare thing these days. Props for taking the time to apologise though.

Asmuel

We're all assholes here, its no secret

Don't worry about it man, no hard feelings

bounchfx

Don't believe it! The cake is a lie!

Ruz

we are all like that really, just some hide it better than others:)
I would also like to apologise for any future drunken outburts that i may or not make in the future.

Joseph Silverman

Everything was already even with me, after you apologized in PM, but thanks. Everyone has bad days.

Spark

Yeah, taking the time out to relax and apologize is more than most ever do. So keep posting and learning from the critiques, and you will be fine.

I'd like to apologize for brome, cuz he's a tard *wink*

pliang

I like to apologize for adding on to this thread ask people to add their own apologies on a separate thread.

Slainean

I didn't witness your outburst, but I definitely feel frustration and anxiety when I put my work out there for people to critique. Sometimes you get so wrapped up in things that you interpret criticism as a personal attack.

Anyway, keep posting here, dude. I like your work.

danr

I'd like to apolgise for the Great British Public who have no idea what country they're living in and for whom trailers for The Golden Compass "coming this Holiday Season" are considered perfectly acceptable

... Sorry, did I say "apologise for"? Shit, I meant to say "burn"

Mongrelman

You'd like to burn for the Great British Public?

Do we need to buy tickets or is it a free event?

[/ QUOTE ]Thats something you really have to get around if you're going to be doing this professionally. I made an intern cry by telling her "that looks good, but you could optimize it, and use one texture sheet instead of 4." She wouldn't talk to me for days.

Slainean

You monster.

pliang

Not even talk? Its not like you're making her redo the whole section...

demoncage

pliang, you're slowly hijacking my apology thread.

i don't know brome, but i apologize on behalf of life for making him a tard. sorry brome, please refer to PaK's post for details.

thanks guys, guess i felt a bit paranoid after that whole debacle.

shove a sock in it and get back to work

AstroZombie

Wow ... what kind of drama did I miss?!?!

demoncage

don't probe any deeper, i'm watching you...

Asmuel

Thats it, I'm getting my probe out > http://boards.polycount.net/search.php?Cat=0

Why apologize ? its the internet, should people be mad/sad or whatever for everything they read here ? i bet your highly overweight (like 450 lbs) and spend your whole days reading this board

ElysiumGX

i'd like to apologize for pliang.

demoncage

Asmuel, I meant for this to be a civil discourse...well, ok, alright, you want to get ROUGH?!!!

Joao Sapiro

lol this thread is incredible ! it gives the feeling this board ( yes its an internet board SURPRISE! ) is becoming a myspace/highschool group with threads like this.

just keep making art.

seriously wtf.

demoncage

pretty sure we were just joking around at this point. but believe me, i'd much prefer this degree of response for the art i actually post.

pliang

I'm not trying to "hijack" this thread but IMO it has kind of become a sorry thread with nothing related to the title...

adam

demoncage, I forget what I posted. Was it a cat? Probably. Cat's get posted in retarded threads.

Motz

I get torn a new asshoel by per every few threads I post in. It's just PC's nature. If you turn out good art, they'll lick your forehead regardless of your personality. Take b1ll for example, complete twat, but we love him.

demoncage

hey, i posted this like a week ago, people were cool enough to respond, but i passively let it drift to whatever page it ended up on in gd. someone thought it was important enough to resurrect for the purpose of calling you a tard, then more people posted. sorry if i felt obligated to reply at that point. thread closed. thank you, thank you very much.

Joao Sapiro

imo people who make formal apologies in a messageboard should get a life . it nice to apologise, but this is a joke. seriously.

demoncage

you seem to love perpetuating it though with your rich and full life. seriously, i post one message to try to make sure i didn't alienate everyone, and you're telling me to get a life. whatever, fuck off. i don't care. i'm done with this thread. pace.

adam

EarthQuake

Pace out holmes. What sort of retard ends a conversation with "peace" after telling someone to fuck off?

Your mother is a dirty fucking cunt, peace.

Rens

god i love you guys xD

snap.crackle.pop

Really whats missing in this apology thread is some L337 speak.

Y0 HomiESZZZ1111!!!, hax0rz ski11z




yes, you read it right 3 exclamation marks.

snap.crackle.pop

B1ll ?

pliang

The thread really needs to be closed or locked.

Ironically some of the posts have provoked another outburst from the author...

I just want to make the author's previous point clear.

snap.crackle.pop

There should be an apology for making this apology thread.

Joseph Silverman

Or just one for your and pliang's bizarre non sequitur posts that completely derailed it.

snap.crackle.pop

So your really 450 lbs ?

Agreed.

If you can't keep your foot out of your mouth just leave it in.

MOAWR AERTZ!

Jay Evans

I'd also like to apologize. I'm not sure what for, but I heard this was the apology thread. It's kind of like the desktop thread right?

adam

Haha yah we do these kinds of threads once a month.

what the hell?
THAT is your counter to me saying you post nonsequiturs? This is the best reply I've ever gotten, I'm saving this page.

demoncage

lol, this is too funny. i'm told i'm fucked up for getting a bit defensive over my work. i turn out some strong stuff, accept critique without issue, post a fucking apology in an effort to be at ease with everyone, and you treat me like dog shit. i'm the one who needs to mature and act professional? i'm the one who was told my career prospects could be in jeopardy for my behavior. i rebutt someone telling me to get a life for trying to be cool about things, and i'm in the fucking wrong? if i didn't know better, i'd say there's some sour fucking grapes going around, but it tastes pretty sweet to me.

hey earthquake, fuck off.

PACE.

OK, nothing to see here, move along.
