This is an interesting and different image. A very unique approach. :tu: :tu: :)

[PusGhetty]

Thanks Deevee! (it would mean more to me however if I didn't know that you would give a stick figure more appreciation) I don't think I should continue to post here anymore! I look at the comments going around and I can't help but wonder what is with this place. It is obvious that I will not be missed here! I get a better response over at 3dcommune in their Bryce Gallery! They seem to appreciate art and hard work for what it really is, and they don't even use Zbrush! I feel unwelcome here at ZBC!! My first post got more attention than any thing I've done since! Apparantly I suck in the eyes of many here! Well, in my eyes... You Suck!!!! I don't need the elitist-bias crap that I feel when I come here! All I wanted was to be treated equally, and share my work, Maybe make some friends along the way, was this too much to ask!? It hurts me because I have gone out out of my way to try and be a part of this place... to no avail! I never intended to be so disliked! Perhaps My expectations are too high! Well, I have won several awards for my artwork! As a matter of fact, I won Zbrush!
I don't even know what I did wrong here?! I don't know why you all seem to not like my work!?
I will take my manic depressed ass elsewhere Thank You! Posting work is usually therapeutic to me... but not in this community!
OUT!!!
GOODBYE!!!

Evidently...incredible accuracy in the name of the piece anyway.

PusGhetty, sounds like you have a serious persecution complex. Do you want people to pretend your work is better than it actually is (not that I'm saying it isn't good) just to make you feel good? I know it hurts when you don't get positive feedback after spending hours on an image, but throwing a tantrum won't solve anything. You'd be much better off trying to figure out *why* you aren't getting the reaction you desire. Just my $0.02.

I'm sorry you feel that way, P...
It does seem strange to me that you would post the signature quote you have, and fail to believe it...I regret you feel this way, but there is obviously nothing I could say that would help, so good luck...

Wow, now that is shocking. Michael, if you make it back to read this, I hope you will reconsider. I, in fact, enjoy your work just as much, or more in some cases, as anyone else's. I think that with everyone anxiously awaiting Pixologic's release, they are maybe not responding quite as much to images as they normally would. I only wish now that I had replied to this image earlier, when I first saw it. Now, any comments I might have will seem contrived, and that would not do you justice. For what it's worth, however, here it is: I collect antique maps and globes. When I first saw this image, it reminded me of a handpainted map of the world (in thumbnail). When I opened it, I saw what it actually was. I still like it. In fact, I was going to 121 and suggest that you zoom out some and actually make it look like a map. Sort of like standing back, it looks like one thing, then up close it's something far more political. Seriously, don't go away on account of whatever you may be feeling today. I've seen many positive responses to your work, not just your first post (for instance, the snail and the statue head in the grass, which I really liked, and the pirate), so I know that what you are feeling might be temporary.

PusGhetty,

Sorry you feel that way but:

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Thanks Deevee! (it would mean more to me however if I didn't know that you would give a stick figure more appreciation) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

That was uncalled for. You want feedback but you want it from certain people?

Perhaps Slosh is right and you will feel differently. Not eveyone likes the same types of things and with 1.5 on the horizon everyone is a little distracted at the moment.

First off, Hookflash, I don't feel like I am being picked on here, I feel like I'm being ignored! Persecution Complex! Hah!! You don't know me at all! Your judgement, jury and execution means nothing to me except that you are going fit in well here! The snobs around this place could use a good head shrink! ;~)
Besides, what semantics of mine did you get rid of to lead you to this hypothesis?

Deevee, I'd apologize for what I said, but you really make me feel bad when you are obviously bias with your commenting!

Vicki, You are right, it was uncalled for! For that I apologize, But I don't apologize for telling the truth! It just seemed that his comments were like pouring salt on my wounds! I mean, one could say that Warhols piss paintings were interesting, and different with a unique approach! Does this mean he likes it!?

SC, I know what you mean and it is surely ironic!! Of course, I never claimed to be a master of anything! Only am I inspired to be!Thanks for the guidance I only wish more people were open minded like you! You should have heard some of the hateful private messages I got after my cyclops post! They are what truly inspired this image!

Slosh, Thanks man I enjoy your work too! I really like your description of how you saw this image, wow... now that is what I call a positive response! Valuable to me, because I came here to learn and share in creativity!!

But I digress,
Perhaps I take this all too personally and/or perhaps I am a little hot-headed lately! (my life is in shambles) Being ignored really sucks and I came here to play ball with the "big boys".
I am now walking home with my mit, because my homeruns and my popflys go practically unnoticed! Now, you are telling me that I have no right to complain! Yeah right!!!

Hi Pusghetty.....

I can appreciate some of what you are saying, but I don't believe I'm on this planet because of someone elses favour. **** if I did I would give up posting.
Take a look at my posts for a comparison.....average replies about 5....it doesn't stop me from posting.....and I don't answer everyones posts either....so even if I wanted more replies.....I would have to answer more posts.....what comes around goes around. However in my mind one repy is good...none probably suicidal :). I appreciate the people who reply, but by the same token those that don't reply still entertain, and educate me with their own posts.

I appreciated your help on lighting....in fact it showed me how ignorant I was in that area.

My advice for what it's worth......bite the bullet and carry on here........hell I get sick of the place myself from time to time...but usually all problems I feel are generated by my own mind. If one chooses to be hurt, one will be hurt. Mind you that is advice from the virtually insane :).

I'll plough on here regardless, one because I'm addicted to zbrush, addicted to sharing, and am bloody good at what I do....bugger what anyone else may think.
And On a final note I have made contact and on line friendships with a number of very talented and intelligent people here...they also help keep my feet on the ground and I enjoy their company on this forum.

Take care Pusghetty.....
