So...

Does being the moderator/contributor/founder of a group give you the right to tell someone their work is wrong?

Telling people you don't think it's right for a particular group, fair enough. I do that with the groups I help with. Declining things because you personally don't like the way it has been done or because you think others can do it better is not a reason in my opinion. I can take constructive criticism fine. Tell me what you think and if I don't agree I will argue with you as any self respecting artist will. It is my right and honestly, if a piece turns out exactly how I wanted to then there is no need for discussion. I like my work, I don't join groups to have my work critiqued (although that will happen anyway), I join them to get exposure for my art. If I am not happy with something I will ask for opinions.

I am not bitching about people declining work to groups, they can do that they have that right. What I don't agree with is the thinking behind it. "I don't like the way you did that it looks weird" or "These popular people did it better" is no reason to decline something, bad quality, ok fair enough, saying someone else does it better with more detail than you so yours is lacking artistic quality is not.

Am I not the one creating it? Is the vision not from my mind? Who are they to tell my I did it wrong.

I asked why one of my deviations was declined. This one :thumb183280214:.
This turned out exactly how I wanted it. I wanted it to be simple and it is. My vision of the big bang, it started everything and it will end everything. The way I see it in my mind is just a blinding light then everything is gone. If I did a piece to show what I see after this would be a plain white page. Sort of the big bang in reverse, I see it as black when it starts, then something happens that creates the space we know. When everything is destroyed it is just pure serene blinding white.

I will always argue the merits of what I do, especially if you decide to link other peoples work to prove your point. It wont. I'm not them, that is the problem with so many things here. I have my own way of doing things and if you don't like it fine, I wont change for you.


Ok /end rant, this is over now I had my vent, good luck to the ones I argued with, I apologize if anything I said offended you:hug:. To the last person who commented on it, the criticism you gave I would have been fine with if it was what had been answered the first time. :)

Ohhhh wooow, great art... fantastic paintings :love:

thank you so much for your feature C:

By the way ... I understand how you feel, generally tend to do that. You should ignore ... finally, after all, the "level" is based only on personal points of view.

So ... STILL DOING WHAT YOU LIKE! :iconlaplz:
