Artist's Comments

Now now, here I'm not talking about that new and somewhat overwhelming feature DA has.

I'm talking about the general act of commenting on an artwork.

This came from a talk with a friend.

An artist can understand when you leave a "That's good/cool/etc." comment when someone else has already pointed what what needs to be improved or when you simply can't see anything wrong with it.

But it's kind of unsettling when one notices you said "that's good" when there's still a lot to be pointed out because you were "trying to be polite".

Many people are shy. Many others do it "out of politeness" not to hurt the other person's feelings.
(then there's the matter of artists that ask for one thing and when you give it to them they go batshit insane, but let's have some faith in humanity here)

But when an artist is clearly open for critique and is known to accept it well, the most polite thing you can do is give it to them. :)

They'll cherish your words of advice 100 times more than that strained "that's good".

I don't mean to sound ungrateful.
I'm very grateful to all the people who follow my work and leave comments of any kind.
I'm speaking generally here.
With this stamp I want to make the shy or sensitive-polite people out there to realize that there's nothing wrong in pointing out that something is off in an artwork.

jkg xD
Eu muitas vezes também só digo "Está muito bom" ou derivadas desta frase, porque só aprecio a imagem durante alguns segundos sem realmente ver os detalhes que precisam ser melhorados de uma prespectiva mais tecnica ou artística...

A very good Idea, frankly I appreciate both. I prefer to know if people like my work or not, and since I'm a writer its nice to to know they read it and didn't just flick past it. I also love it when I get advanced critique, it shows my work has provoked thought and sometimes helps me improve.

Its always the last place you look. Of course it is why would I keep looking after I've found it.

Very important article look at it, now!

I have nothing against small comments, nothing at all. :) I understand when the person just really can't think of anything else to say or when the subject has already been addressed and there's nothing palpable left to comment.

I made this stamp mostly to encourage those shy people who actually do have things to say beyond the "That's good" but won't for various reasons.

Anyway, I understand you. :) thanks for your comment.
