No - they're "scum" - we're "villainy."

Thanks Dave. I enjoy both boards and the mods of both try their best to provide an environment that is enjoyable to the people who frequent them. Of course you are going to get people who are not afraid to make their point even if it is hurtful to either the artist or sculptor. I am all for having sculptors or artists interact with the people who buy their product. The majority of the comments made are not hurtful or bashful. You as an artist will get as much positive if not more than negative. You have to learn to deal with these comments. Just read Randy Bowens interaction. He can take the negative as well as the positive. Just don’t let the negative minority put you off either forum as you will realise that the majority of the people are constructive in there critiques.

However - artists shouldn't have to read bashing completely absent of anything constructive. That's the major obstacle to more artists participating in these types of forums. I've heard it from Sideshow sculptors before - it's just not worth the frustration of trying to interact when you get thoughtless comments from people who are venting anger over a piece, perhaps just from a single photo.

I agree completely. But the artists shouldn't forget about the majority of the people who enjoy their work just because of a few bad apples. Its up to the rest of the community to educate these people on etiquette and how to put your point across without being bashful.

doesn't look bad but something about her face makes her look really old...and aren't her eyes looking in the wrong direction compared to the art?

i think whats unfortunate, but it happens, is that 100 people can be thoughtful and courteous, and express their differing opinions without insulting the artists and thier moms, but all it takes is one bad apple to kill it.

Re: The next AH Comiquette-Black Queen up NOW.

This comment is total nonsense. I have seen bashful comments on both boards of equal measure. To suggest that SF attracts the lowest common denominator is untruthful and unwarranted.

huh?

Re: The next AH Comiquette-Black Queen up NOW.

From my experience, it's best to avoid statue forum altogether. it seems to attract the lowest common denominator of this hobby

watch you words

Take it easy you two! Let's not start flaming over such trivial stuff. Both boards have their share of jerks and scums.

First allow me to preface by saying I do not disagree with you Dave, but these kind of comments always bring a chuckle.

Companies and representative of companies are more than willing to enlighten us on various boards that we are the minority in the collecting field. I believe even on Rebelscum it was noted back in Master Replicas' heyday that we were less than 1% of the buying population which is probably true across the board with most companies.

So, these companies have no problem letting us know how small of a minority we are, yet in that small minority there is an even smaller group who voice opposition to pieces and of that group its even smaller that just do it to bust balls. Its that "one bad apple" that is enough to scare off sculptors and artists because they internalize that small piece and ignore the dozens upon dozens upon dozens of "I love it, you walk on water" style comments? The funny thing is that sculptors, artists, etc choose to engage those negative comments then get frustrated when the courage of the internet allows that person to persist beyond belief while if they responded to actual critiques and then left it as is would be just fine.

My biggest complaint was that I felt Tim Miller didn't capture Adam's style. Then Allison posted Adam's control art, which proved that while not 100% exact Tim did a pretty good job capturing the essence. That was enough to satisfy me...she actually responded to a lot of people with that posting....

My point is that I find it funny that even less than 1% who actually dislike it and are busting balls are the ones that are being spotlighted as the business as usual postings....

Re: The next AH Comiquette-Black Queen up NOW.

it's interesting when people take criticism of an entire forum personally. no one was mentioned specifically, and i guess no one needs to be, as the ones that get their panties all in a bunch over it make it obvious who the worst offenders are. "thou dost protest too much"

I think it was meant as more of a guilt-trip type of post Mike.

I also find it hard to believe that a few people of thousands can deter and frustrate seasoned artists who's lively-hood is in mainstream media. It's like critics bashing a celebrity and that celebrity doesnt want to do any more interviews or press confs to promote their new upcoming movies anymore. doesnt make sense to me.

Interesting that different angles change the look of the face completely. I'm interested to get more naturally lit photos....
