I think the other flipside of the coin is people actively encouraging people posting for ego stroking/ass pats. people who just post jizz images or "OMFG SO AWESOME FAP FAP FAP" are not really contributing at all. a single sentance reply is kinda useless and a lot of the time seems to be just there to up their post count,…

Something to keep in mind is some stuff that has probably been posted earlier but it's worth repeating: Be specific Asking questions like "what is your workflow?" is a lot of work to explain in some cases especially if someone has put a lot of work into a piece. It is always much better to ask about a specific part of a…
Honestly I really loved the Evil Genius thread Adam, it was awesome and I do agree that it's always nice when people share their workflow, but most of the time when you get to a certain level the workflow becomes common knowledge.
