Yoda has turned to the dark side!



Took me 10 minutes to do in Photoshop.

You forgot the glow on his cloak. It's still green.

Oh. I can't believe I actually missed the green on his cloak. I though something didn't look right. Darth Reckon, because I was trying to think of a name that Yoda would actually become if he turned to the dark side in the movies. Not that he would, since Yoda is wise, but imagine that he did. Reckon, because he is very calculating, and he is a force to be "reckon"ed with. So, I tried to come up with something realistic. I'll see if I can make something a bit more improved.

See, you still failed, though. That's one of the crappiest photoshop coloring jobs I've ever seen. Hell, I can see all the spots where you used the lasso tool. Plus the fact that you didn't change the skin color under his saber glow.

Also, you missed a spot. The bottom. And Reckon just doesn't sound like a Sithname to me. Get Nick in here to judge that.

Whatever. I just posted it for fun. People like you seem to take the joy out of posting stuff for fun. For being a newbie to Photoshop, I consider that to be okay.

No, I'm telling you to do a better job, and not post things that took you ten minutes to do in Photoshop. Besides, I told you what to fix, that's called criticism. People like me use that to tell people like you to do something different, usually with a better result.

What you don't seem to realize is that I appreciate the criticism, because it will help me make this better. But I already said that I was going to improve on it. Give me the criticism all you want. But you don't have to be a jerk about it. I said, I posted it for fun. I never said it was "perfect". Your attitude behind the criticism is what turns people off. Not the criticism itself.

The fact is, not everyone is going to be peachy friendly about your art. You may notice Tarale gave you some sass as well. I probably would have, but it seemed hopeless.
If you expect everyone to be puppies and rainbows to you, you really shouldn't be posting here. He didn't attack you or anything, and he did tell you what was wrong with it.

Let's analyze your post to see why I reacted so harshly to your appreciation of my criticism.

Let's look at point one. You blow off what I say right there, on the spot, instead of saying something to the effect of "Oh, thanks for the criticism. You make good points," and act like a jerk yourself.

Point two, you posted it for fun. Okay, nothing big, we all do that. You still have to realize that people can and will react harshly to anything that may not be pleasing.

Point three. People like me? Excuse me? My ethnicity does NOT enter into this!

Understood.

You may notice Tarale gave you some sass as well. I probably would have, but it seemed hopeless.

Right. He did. But he didn't mention anything that would help me with improving the art, so I ignored it.

If you expect everyone to be puppies and rainbows to you, you really shouldn't be posting here.

No, I don't expect everyone to be puppies and rainbows to me.

He didn't attack you or anything, and he did tell you what was wrong with it.

He did tell me what was wrong with. Plus. There is a difference in degree for how you can tell people.

Telling people that that is the worst piece of art you have seen is the wrong way; you can expect the other person to be insulted.

Telling people that it is horrible and can definately use improvement is the right way, the other person understands that it wasn't the greatest, isn't very insulted, and it will use the criticism to make it better.

Now, should you choose to reply to this, which is undoubtly going to happen, I'm going to ignore you. Since you people around here like to argue more than anything (FACT). And you can tell me that I have a hard time accepting criticism, but the most important thing is, I don't care what you think about me. Kudos to my friend Gavin!

So you can ignore when some people are offensive but not others? Heh.

Obviously everyone has missed the guide on the exact way everyone should criticize work, but luckily for us you're familar with it. Please fill us in. What I've gathered so far is, you can't be honest or blunt unless it praises you.

I'm going to ignore you.
I bet.

[fancy lightbulb graphic] TIP: Don't post photoshops that took <=30 minutes.

Seriously, if you don't want people to dislike something at least try.

People have already pointed out glaring errors like the fact the glow's still green -- if you don't want people to poke a little fun at your 10m. photoshop, either don't post it or spend some time at least making it look good.

Edit: I mean crap, I can see the outline of the 'glow' completly. It doesn't even blend in at all.

Cynicalism seems to be the theme of this board. I think you did a superb job for a newbie. I probably can't do THAT! Seriously. If you keep at it, you will do some pretty impressive artwork! Keep at it!

See this is a good summary of what just happened.

Shyguy: It's Cynicism, not Cynicalism. Plus, saying "WOW I CANT DO THAT" is possibly the worst thing to say. It's like parents who watch their kids do stupid shit, and congratulate them for it.

Just had to address this.

Darth Reckoning would be better.
