• Creative Work That Doesn't Deserve A Thread

I've been reading this thread for a while, and one thing I wish guys like Biscuit-Boy would stop doing is trying to label all negative feedback as critique. People on the receiving end can tell the difference between someone who wants to see you improve and someone who just wants to knock you down a peg. MakoSkyDub's comments didn't hold even a nugget of constructive criticism. He attacked Wickerman's major and made a bunch of assumptions about his personality/lifestyle. Multiple people called him out for being a dick and he got banned. Wickerman responded by acknowledging the low quality of his art, but questioning how any of that fedora bullshit helps anything, and then you showed up. [quote]It's not a shitty thing to do. That's literally the entire point of this thread, believe it or not.[/quote] I think the majority of the people on this page agree that acting like MakoSkyDub is not the point of this thread. Edit: But for the record, your own critique of dnqboy is a good model for others to follow.
You know what, I do agree with you that Mako went a bit too far. I'm a mean guy myself so I find it funny and entertaining, but I completely understand how it rubs a lot of people the wrong way. I go along with it because, the majority of the time he's simply saying what a lot of people are thinking and, IMO, more often than not needs to be said. I'm not going to say I think that Mako picking on Wickerman is what I have in mind for the thread, but, as long as it is constructive, I see nothing wrong with brutal honesty. To clarify, I also agree that just being negative feedback doesn't constitute critique. Like I said above I can't really defend Mako's behavior in this instance. Had he made his jokes, and then offered some genuine advice, I think that would definitely be a start. Truth be told, Wickerman has been commendably civil, excepting that he got too worked up over it. I have to apologize for also being a bit of a twat, thanks for the excellent comment, Sega.
You all suck shut up before i know all your pegs down one
[QUOTE=Biscuit-Boy;45087263]postpostpost[/QUOTE] Yeah I know it's shit, I freaked out because of the instant judgmental shitstorm that followed. I know people are critical and that's to be expected but there's no reason to be a monumental dick from the outset. He could of easily of given some useful, constructive criticism but instead he put me into a box and didn't even say anything useful - a post along the lines of "lol this is pure shite go home" would have been just as appropriate. As you can tell I don't post a lot of content here, and it's because I know it's shit, and I know where my faults lie - I owe that much to some of you; for helping me out - but when I respond to a simple statement with something that has already been posted and spoken about around a year ago, I didn't expect anything, certainly not someone slapping me in the face without even a first glance. I respect those that go out their way to help others; there are a lot in here I might add. That however, was unjustifiable.

I'm late to this party, but I read though it and it just seems that lately mako has been handing out some [B]excessively[/B] negative feedback, without actually posting much creative content to the thread. That's what annoys me, is that he can piss on other people but somehow not feel the need to give anything back in terms of real content, now that's fine if he doesn't have the time to make anything, but if that's the case maybe he shouldn't be wasting what little time he has on creating uninspired insults to do nothing more than put people down (as it seems to me). This isn't some backlash anti flame comment from me, hes only ever been pleasant/helpful towards me, I just wish he'd show that's same respect to everyone.
I can't be bothered to pick a specific post to reply to. Simply put though this thread is generally for art you want critique on for how to improve technically. It's great to do art for fun and venting, and to express your feelings and to help recover from issues in your past. BUT (and this is the important part) that isn't really what people here care about. What is judged in this thread is pretty much all technical skill, and helping to convey what you want through that. Mako is kinda a dick, I don't think anyone will disagree with that, but arguing with him isn't going to get you anywhere. Take what he says is bad and try to fix it. Or don't. Mako has provided me some of the most useful feedback I've gotten on the web, even if he doesn't make any attempt to make it easy to swallow (probably because of that in fact). Can we please stop shitting up the thread now because it isn't going to change anyone's mind one way or the other.
Here, have a WIP. Yes, I've literally been stagnating for over a year now, doing exactly the same thing I've always been doing. Whooee [img]http://puu.sh/9rbSX/8ff0dee361.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Jallen;45073207]The thing is, UK art courses reward fedora tipping art. That's why I didn't do it at all when it came to picking my subjects, it was a load of shit. It annoys me that this is what art in UK schools is, focusing on pretentious bullshit meaning rather than technical skill. It annoys me because I know I have cool ideas, I know my friends have cool ideas, I know the majority of people have cool ideas. Very few people are lacking in inspiration entirely to produce art, very many people lack the technical skill to actually produce it in a way which comes across properly. So I didn't do any art courses in school. I resent the fact that there were no opportunities to properly learn to draw.[/QUOTE] I think it's the same in a lot of countries. In fact I think you really have to go to america to get a REAL art education. Or possibly somewhere like singapore or japan or something You can get a very good education just online imo, but you need to have an iron will to commit yourself to studying without any peers. Going to school makes you work, staying motivated and keeping up pace is fucking difficult if you don't have any peers alongside you as I'm sure a lot of people around here would attest to. Something like this thread/forum is great, but your peers are detached and all over the place, it's not the same as when you're in a large group all doing the same thing day in day out. Plus identifying the right things to practice and so on is obviously very hard to decide for yourself as you're learning, and proper education helps no end with that.

Multiple people also found laughter and joy in my posts! (more people than vice versa actually looking back up, so majority my ass) I didn't really make any assumptions about anything? I don't think appearances are very deceiving with his posts :v: wickerman has posted quite a lot in here btw he's not a total stranger The ban was pretty weak. quote unquote Rusty: "he didn't break any rules, you can't ban someone just for being a dick" You know when you have a problem poster in a thread, because there is a unanimous reaction against what they're doing. Then they either leave or they make a spectacle of themselves and eventually do get banned when it turns into threadshitting. The community sorts itself out like an immune system. So I disagree with Swebonny's ban but it was only a day-long so who cares really. And Wickerman responded not only how you mentioned but also with bucketloads of pretentious rubbish and more angst. So there's the other side of your shamelessly biased whinging I'm happy to explain why I say things though, or why I might have a laissez-faire attitude at times. If you've been following the thread for long enough you should have noticed a trend whereby some people hang around CC, occasionally posting bits and pieces of work at a very very low standard (this is not a bad thing to do per se but I'm coming to a point and it matters). More often than posting work however they moan about how useless they are, they bang on and on about themselves and generally act like bleeding-heart martyrs. Then, everyone rallies round and gives them a heap of in-depth advice and crit, and they say oh wow I'll reform myself and try my hardest to improve! Then they either continue to post the same crummy work on all of the wrong subjects and in the wrong manner, ignoring all of what people told them, or they vanish for a bit and then reappear with nothing to show for it and resume moaning about themselves. Rinse and repeat. I think at this point all of the regulars have lost patience with this. Experience tells us that there is no point in spending time writing cc because it's just going to go in one ear and out the other. Wickerman is in this category. In this instance he's back going on about his Higher Ultimate Art [I]again[/I], he's capitalising Art over and over for no reason and posting those dreadful photoshop jobs, all of which he's posted in here before I'm pretty sure. There's nothing to critique. I've critiqued his DRAWINGS before, but in this case there is nothing constructive to be said, so I just said what I was thinking. If you're thinking something and it's relevant to what's going on, you should say it, that's what I think :v: nobody has an obligation to be super helpful in every post they make.

Typically you'd use a person as height ref. They're the easiest objects to universally scale things to - for example we have no idea how big the dam is, it's the girl that's giving us that information. So if you want the DAM to be smaller, make her bigger. And maybe glaze a bit of blue over her, she's popping too much for the distance she's at. The birds on the other hand are enormous

[editline]13th June 2014[/editline] Also it was all pretty rushed, my school was crappy and only got me photoshop in the last month or so of the course. I had sketched out these ideas but they are not worth sharing. Out of all of them, the one with text is the most rushed, that was done in a matter of hours from idea, to photo, to editing as a mistake by a University admin meant that the dates I were given were wrong - and the day i found out happened to be the last day to get it done.. Bare in mind i thought I had another 4 weeks. - it was actually a design task to get onto the course. These aren't excuses by any means, just a little more context. I was quite disappointed by how most of them came out as I didn't really know what I was doing. Maybe once I feel confident enough in my skills I'll revisit them.
If you're not looking for critique don't post them on the internet

Also it was all pretty rushed, my school was crappy and only got me photoshop in the last month or so of the course. I had sketched out these ideas but they are not worth sharing. Out of all of them, the one with text is the most rushed, that was done in a matter of hours from idea, to photo, to editing as a mistake by a University admin meant that the dates I were given were wrong - and the day i found out happened to be the last day to get it done.. Bare in mind i thought I had another 4 weeks. - it was actually a design task to get onto the course. These aren't excuses by any means, just a little more context. I was quite disappointed by how most of them came out as I didn't really know what I was doing. Maybe once I feel confident enough in my skills I'll revisit them.[/QUOTE] If you want to improve then use what I wrote as pointers. If not, then w/e ok. Generally this thread is used for criticism, so people get a bit pissy if you say that. Mention that in the post next time.

[QUOTE=The Vman;45052641]Another gameplay vid made by our project lead. Right now we're in deep discussion of how we want to market the game now that R6 is out there.

And the whole game is so simple and everything feels very solid unlike in some unity games. Only thing I'm a bit bummed about is that I didn't come up with that myself. :D

So you've only got 2 door breaching charges, and if you use them both up then they are gone for the rest of the rounds. This helps defenders plan, because if you know they used up their only wall breaching charge in the first round, then you won't have to worry about them going through a wall in a later round. However, if you survive the round with any gear remaining, you get to keep it, even if it's salvaged from the enemy team. This means that if the defenders grab nightvision goggles from a dead attacker, then they can use them in the next round. The best is when defenders steal a detonator, because it means that they can detonate any explosives the attackers are trying to plant.
