Thanks BloodAsMedium.
I actually disagree a little. I honestly don't think that someone has to be a better painter in order to offer criticism- some of my best critics (those that help me improve) do not paint as well as I do.
Some people might express it harshly here, and it might sound like it is hate that's mis-directed at me, but what they're really arguing against is the rating this mini got from the Coolmini community.
- I think you can tell that it isn't really 'hate' when a detractor says "Ugh, I give this an 8" -in other words, this mini is *only* excellent.
CMON is far from a perfect judge, and this mini plays into some community biases (large mini, Forgeworld, extensive freehand that's a bit busy). I can understand people being upset when something looks overrated.
The comments came from the time this mini was in flux. It got ranked all the way to the very top of my gallery- and I honestly feel this falls quite short of my own very best work.
So thank you everyone for your comments- good and bad. I do read them, and I do consider criticisms when painting forward.
Really wonderful. Just live critics that say things but have no galleries of projects to show a comparison of why one would listen to their comments in the first place. I am sure odinsgrandson is like everybody else including me if you leave a comment and a critic why we should listen to you at least have proof you earned your right to criticize by have a gallery hopefully with scores higher than the one your critiquing ! Excellent work 10/10!!
