The Creative Space is often a dark place. Let's explore the cliques, shall we?
The understated – These artists tend
to be quite talented, but their mild (and often agreeable)
personalities fail to bring them much praise. Regardless, for what
they lack in fanfare they more than make up for in ability. Their
quiet confidence speaks volumes to their talent and maturity.
The complainer – You know them.
They've always got something to whine about and it's almost almost
always something that everyone else is also dealing this – thus
making it a none issue. Let it be known that some of these bitchers
are quite talented. However, when half your posts are complaining
about the Creation Space terms of use or how much of a travesty it is
that your coat didn't make it in last month the quality of your work
kind of diminishes.
The unnecessary critiquer – “Hey,
ummm... You're going to draw the eye, right?” Nope. I was obviously
going to just leave that part out.
The off-topicer – “Hey guys, want
to see the wolf/dragon/cat/original character I drew?” No. We
don't. Extra points if these off-topic exploits are angst-ridden
and/or point you to an off-site art gallery.
The WIP hoarder - “Hey, you know that
coat you all told me you liked? I scrapped it. Check out this Gypsy
Vanner I'm doing now! And this pony! I might try drawing the horse I
lease too!”
The over-sharer – We get it. You're
working on a new coat but please understand you do not need to update
us with every single brush stroke you do.
The enforcer – These guys travel in
packs and hunt for any uncredited reference or lineart they can find.
Hey, I get it, respecting copyright and intellectual property is a
big deal, but we don't need to converge en masse or jump to nasty
conclusions when a civil discussion will suffice. If there's a
problem, escalate it to the moderator and stop throwing your imagined
weight around.
The advertiser – This artist only
shows up when the voting period is open. They're just here to garner
votes and clog up the forum. Extra points if they post on every page
and across multiple servers.
The embellisher – They drew a decent
coat once. They've now submitted it in over ten different colors.
Thoughts? Did I miss anyone?
