ENOUGH!!! MoMos' back from vacation, and some of you have turned the mood back to the 2011-early2012 pages. Bitching & Questioning if an artists work is valid on the thread. Newsflash...They are all valid! Who are you to judge someones/everyones art with such vitriol? (What up Driftin?) Since I've been here, Oct-2012, I have borne witness to some of the most inspiring works of passion ever (considering the subject matter)! I never edited ANYTHING ever before in my life, until I found Horde & the Gang. (Shout out to GT-R!). Instant love! They knew I was no artist, yet they did not flame me for being a rookie. I did my history on this thread, I knew I wanted to be just like them (No such luck yet). (Hola Buff!). Artists stick together & support each other on this thread, not berate, hate on, chastise, snicker, waste space, and make lowly of the works that someone, visualized, sculpted, & polished, and wanted to share with you! Tell an aspiring artist where you think he could improve, not wish him dead. Where did you come from, a tampon commercial? Check yourself, you're acting like a chick, crying about how a mans hard work is never good enough...For YOU! Begone! (Eugeeeene!) These pages give me the biggest goosebumps, joy, and awe. It inspired me to try to get better. Can you dig it? No you can't. These guys express how much I love this game through their sculptures. Things change with the times, OP or no OP, edit or no edit, no one cares, as long as you strive for realism! They do it in spades Sir! And they do it to DEATH! What it sounds like is you refuse to put yourself in another artists shoes, and see what they saw. (NBDE forever!). Not what YOU want to see. They even got a thread for Super Realistic Photos. Go there, stay there. Or start your own self-serving thread for that kind of silly, theatrical nonsense, (I will visit your thread, but I won't post, I promise). Or start your own website featuring, "The 'Only' Right Way To Create Art Thread". Once you apply realism in every aspect of these artworks, you lose the best component, your Imagination, and the NEED to share it, and use it to WALK through this museum, not run, which will then allow you to view pure poetry! Imagination. The base thing that makes you post YOUR art in the 1st place Sir. Come back when you reacquire your child-like wonderment kid! Then ALL the photos will be hits in their own special way (Neal, they tryna hijack the thread with their space wasting complaints about the stunning craftsmanship that we lack! That's sooooo 2011!). I post the crappiest pics, and you will not be able to heckle me into NOT posting, I'm hooked! You just gotta wait till my art grows up. How will I know I've reached nirvana if no one sees my vision because YOU say i'm no artist? So, you will see a substandard work from me sometimes/ most times. My best days in real life are the ones where they say, "Nice pic MoMo". I feel every brush stroke that these guys make here, and I let them know that the love they pour into their art is very moving and not unnoticed. This is a living, breathing thread, any blemishes are covered up by the next artist. They let me 'hide' between their posts. No 'Perfect Photo' thread exists. You can't see fun anymore. Viewing others pics is a job now? Low tolerance? Incompetence abound? Idiots? You see poor quality? You want structured, clean, photographic principals applied to...Fun. Swallow the red pill and see whats really going on here. Expression, thumbs up, mastery, editing photos without telling YOU, freedom to experiment, a hiding place, like minded souls just chilling, high fives, a place where you can be the best you can at this without judging, (they got a thread for that too, try it, & stay there). You have no regards for another mans hard work, just your own, and a few select friends. Take that attitude back to the april 2011 pages, and stay there.Thread integrity is down, but not for the reasons YOU think. Verdict...Thread Integrity 87%...Reason: Fembots
