When I first known about this place I was young, and naive. I was fascinated with detail at how amazing the models looked like. I used draw everything as detailed as a picture, but soon enough I learned that people don't care about texture resolutions or polycounts. They care about the characters look and their story. Ask any non artist you know, and they'll tell you the same thing.
I give so much faith, and forgiveness to this forum. I've left 3 times just to give it another chance. Every time I do I'm assaulted by an army of realists who wish nothing more than the life and fun of things be removed for perfect aryan quality humans that have no gesture or emotion, and no natural flaws.
If I'm just going to be around self reliant artists who probably complain about the flaws of people in reality, and don't settle for less. Then some people should just take a good look at theirselves, and look at what has been really posted from them.
Taking crits is one thing but I'm certain none of you ever got much of the oppourtunity to have a helping hand on a project of your own or idea.
Remember that there is a million styles of art out there. Not just the ones you're "used to". Maybe one day when you can see that I might come back.
I'm sorry that I had to do this, but you never fucking understood me.
Goodbye Polycount,
Thanks for opening my eyes to your warped world to leave

ok, cya. don't come back this time.
UMADBRO?!
Reading a bit through your threads I don't see where this is coming from.
nuff said.
a bit emo dude..
TIME TO OPEN SUMMERCAMP
I'm relatively new to the community, but I'd kill for the kind of attention and help you got. Rather than take any advice, you just nodded your head, made excuses, and continued down the "ignorance is bliss" path which is paved with ngons, terrible uvs, and horribly tiled textures.
What's worse, is you're getting in debt from school and seem to be making little effort to improve and advance. As a student who's prepping for graduation, I believe crits from professionals are worth their weight in gold. While taking every crit isn't always necessary (of course some folks are wrong), they do help you improve not only your art...but your chances of working in one helluva competitive industry.
I hope for your sake and the sake of your credit that you clear your head and put your nose to the grindstone.
I also have to say, with all the pointers and excellent artist's tips and individual attention you were getting, and your seriously lackadaisical attitude towards critique, you piss me off.
It's hard enough to jump into a new realm of art, like characters, and even harder to get that kind of cared-for attention. You brush it all of, so kindly get out and don't bother returning unless you bring back a better attitude.
peace the f*ck out.
It's a shame.
Don't feed the troll, this guy worked his ass off to get nowhere; He'll graduate, and have no luck in finding work, because not only did he not listen to the wealth of professional and wonderful amateur critique, but he probably did not listen to the information supplied to him by his textbooks, professors, and fellow students. It is people like this who cannot be helped; no matter how kind or professional you are in giving sincere critique, they will always know better, and you will always be attacking them, because you are "jealous".
It's best just to ignore posts like this, because simply, after reading through Mr. Cooljays threads, If he truly ignored what the community has offered him, than he has no place here, no "need" to learn, or to understand art for that matter! He(?) will be losing the respect and comradery of hundreds (if not thousands) of talented and sincere individuals; and the only thing the community will lose out on, is a few laughs or tears.
If OP is completely serious, than sir(or madame) I feel sorry for you, You truly are missing out on one of very few magnificent treasure troves of information, And I wish you the best in your career of playing with shit, and calling it clay.
All the best,
Payton
Then I saw a thread made by him and this is the same guy who received the most critiques on his work:
What an ungrateful pig.
as i said, artists HAVE tp think about polycount and texture size[uvw unwraping, i mean, some can do ones without holes at all, and still wont have anything skewed]
I know how you feel, im not a pro as well, still im pretty young [i still go to school, 11th grader], i get a lot of critics, sometimes its extremely harsh and i do feel angry about it, couse i spent lot of time on model or artwork, and still it has many problems?! cmon... but after sometime, i guess few hours, few days, few weeks, you understand that they are right, it does have many problems, then, i try to fix it with my next piece... and there is no better feeling than when you reed: Oh, you improved really well! from the same guys who criticized your works before
Just... let him do art... think about what happened last time when somebody was forbidden to draw and became a politician instead.
