@Ghost; "Pride before a fall..." As the saying goes. ;-)

Some artists on DA are so proud of their work they cannot take criticism of any kind if it hints at negativity. Others are thankful for any they get. Likewise, producers on YouTube or otherwise can be the same.

@CCyclone; Recently I spoke about a artwork for a Vocaloid related piece for Halloween. They basically did a piece wherein they did half one of the image and then copy + pasted-mirror it on. While the result was good, it was so obvious what had been done that I spoke out and suggested that things were done to break the mirrored look a lot more. When things are perfectly symmetrical, they don't look right. Its actually one of "3 rules of the natural order" I was taught at school. The other two rules were "there is no such thing as black" and "There is no such thing as a straight line". Mother nature just doesn't do these 3 things at all. :-?

Knowledge is best when its a shared experience, I don't see any point in hiding things. Maybe because as I have aged (I'm 33 years old) I am halfway through my life and I know everything I did right and wrong. If there is something that can be shared to help others, I say share it. If something must be said, its best spoken then kept to oneself.

The only thing one can't do is force someone to accept that help, knowledge or whatever. You supply them with the tool, its up to them to decide what to do with it. As I said to Ghost just now, some artists can't accept criticism of any kind or/nor will they won't believe you.
