I've been thinking about this 'subject' the past couple of days since my last couple of posts in the Tarnished thread
Who wants constructive critique from me here on Fans ?
Leave your names and I'll amend my posting head accordingly:

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sheila Damn blast and all other swear words ... it's good to see you. I've been a bit of a coward in not writing - I've known what I've wanted to say, but never wanted to intrude ... I sincerely hope you're recovering from/ if not forgetting your loss. (Another reason I haven't wrote ... I'm a depressing bar-steward ) I hope I'm not stirring the pot. I don't mean to.

yikes, I'm not sure what this is all about or rather what brought it about. BUT, please everyone feel free to keep giving me all the critiques/criticism you want. I'm learning so much from all of you. Sometimes I have a hard time commenting on pieces because I know something appeals to me but having no background in art at all, I can't really say why it is appealing to me. That's when I give the comments that sound like generalized compliments. That's not what they are, it's just I can't find the words to explain why something appeals to me.....

Well personally I think if a person can`t accept a bit of critique ( or feedback ) of their work then they should not post it. After all, this is a website for exactly that. And a bit (or a lot if it`s needed!) of feedback can be very helpful. Personally I welcome it. I think the majority of us here do - that`s why we are all here. Oma - so good to hear from you.

When i post my work in a forum like this, i know i may get criticism. If i didn't want criticism i would post mu work on DA with comments disabled. Simple as that. What i hope to get; and what i try my best to do myself; is that if someone can find anything on my work they thin can be made better; i hope they will try to guide me on HOW to make it better. And always remember that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. So our opinions may vary. But that is allowed. Great to see you posting again Oma.

Great to see you here, oma!
As for criticism, we all expect it. I don't think there's any surprise there. Though I don't like the word, "criticism." I think of it more as "suggestion/advice."

Sargon started this thread & English is not his first language so "criticism" & "critique" are probably used interchangably here. Sargon would never intend that anyone or their work should be criticized. True, we all look for areas where we can improve & we also look for areas where we have nailed it (got it right/did well). Fans here do it well because they also unstintingly give suggestion & direction on how to improve. Speaking for myself, where would I be without you great guys & gals here that gave me so much help? And continue to do so...

Good to see you Oma!
If I didn't have feedback, I wouldn't learn anything. And not just from comments on my work, but on everyone else's too. Suggestions on how to improve are most welcome, sometimes they're things I'd never have thought of myself.

*** Well I just lost my reply ... ARGH! Note to self, compose offline as the spell check may eat your post ... *&$%@! Ditto on many of the sentiments expressed previously about needing feedback and placing things in the public domain comes with that personal responsibility to be able to accept the feedback given. The one thing to try and recreate though is the mention that text is a horrible medium to communicate with generally. It allows you to be precise, but it lacks the nuance required in so many ways. You have to accept this and take the time to proffer clarification when in doubt about the intentions of something stated. Gravity may be a harsh mistress, but text communication can be far worse is one of my mottos. I personally appreciate the breath of fresh air that comes from people willing to share honestly and with little reserve. This modern age of Political Correctness and such often has us second guessing evening saying Hello to one another without having to measure its possible consequence. That's one of the joys of the somewhat anonymous methods offered via forums. You can actually be more of yourself than you might otherwise allow. Within reason of course. I dont think we need everyone's inner child at 100% of course. ;D I dont think anyone has a problem with constructive feedback and even comments that state, "That's good, but I dont like that sort of thing." Statements that are troll fodder best seen on YouTube I think we all agree are best left out of course. I can handle, "Whoa, are you sure that's the direction you want to head with that?" But not, "WTF were you thinking?! WHY are you wasting our time on this ****!" Both technically are the same thing. Just one is a little nicer. I had this laid out better before my last post failed but I think I captured what I wanted to say about it. @wb - Just as much as the Thank You's are necessary ... we cant offer them up unless you are willing. So please, dont stop being willing. I look forward to saying Thank You in the future, so add me to the list of people you dont need to be PC with. You have skills and an eye for detail and you're willing to share them. And you've stated clearly that you're a "straight shooter" so I think we all know what to expect with the limited amount of time life offers. @ All - the fact anyone takes the time to help/share/comment etc is welcome. So much goes into the digital domain to fall on deaf ears. Much like how you may smile or nod to some stranger in passing, we all need to know we're not simply plodding along alone through life. All it takes is a smile sometimes ...
