I for example don't like to suger coat anything, so if i think something looks like crap then im gonna say it looks like crap. Im not trying to be mean or anything, im just being honest. If you cant take honesty in this world then you need to learn how to, because the world isnt suger coated and you arent wrapped in bubble wrap.
And whose optimus prime picture are you referring to? It better not be the one in my sig because i will have you know that is one of the best pictures i have ever drawn, and it is perfectly proportioned as i used the actual MP figure for reference. If you think otherwise then show me your drawing skills and then we'll see who has room to talk.
I have the right to criticize as i am a well experienced painter, so if i see something that is horribly executed and poorly made, and then the person has the front to try and sell it for a high price then im obviously going to have something to say about it.
And if you are too afraid to show your customs on an Internet forum where nobody knows who you really are or even care then you have some deep issues and you should see a doctor.

Oh no,.....did my "honesty" hurt your feelings? Perhaps those comments above illustrate my point in it's entirety. It's not a perfect world, and life dose have a way not caring about your feelings, but we as a fandom need to be supportive of each other. I saw a "Christmas Prime" on ebay awhile back that I wasn't all that impressed with, but someone put time and effort into it. I guess what I'm driving at here is that constructive criticism is more than enough for your fellow transfans.
In case you didn't notice my initial response to this thread was perfectly acceptable. It wasn't until people started attacking me for it (for no reason) that i started to get a little hostile (which any normal person would when someone starts conflict)
Heres the original response since you seem to have missed it:
"That really isnt that good. The concept is great and im surprised more people havnt done it already, but this one is really lame. The paint apps look horrid, and the white looks like tip-ex."
Sounds constructive enough to me. What is best at the end of the day is honesty and that is all i have been here. People need to stop getting so up in arms when someone speaks their mind and stop attacking those who have the decency to do so and not lie to everyone, this isnt just a problem on these forums, its everyday life as well. IMO it is demeaning to do so, to lie to someone about something instead of just telling them how you feel. People do that to kids. They patronize them and lie to them about the truth, would you rather i speak to people like they are 4 years old?
So honesty is more than enough for "fellow transfans" and people in general. If someone just tells this guy it looks fine then he'll keep making stuff which looks the same wont he? However if someone has the balls to tell him its not very good and tell him whats wrong with it (i.e. paint apps that look like tip-ex) then he'll notice his mistakes and work on them with the next project.
Theres no need to jump on someone every time when they state how they truly feel, and then childishly attack something they have done in return, even if that something has nothing wrong with it. To do that, i.e. nitpick, lie, and demean something thats perfectly fine is just like a little kid in the playground who has been told he has big ears and then he responds with "yeah well...you're a poopy pants!".
This is how i see whats going on here. Im not allowed an honest opinion, so i am attacked for it and then people try to find excuses as to why my work is crap as well, even though it clearly isn't. Not saying everything i do is perfect, but in this case i am right. If you want a legitimate drawing of mine to make fun of then i'll upload one if that is what people so desperately need.
Really, these forums are starting to get me down what with peoples attitudes and constant bickering and arguing. Im almost tempted to
ask for a three day ban. I need a break from this madness.
