page 1 of 3

uhh wasn't sure if this should go in the spam or everyday life catrgory...oh well
and yes I searched and no thread on this exists..

Well here it goes yesturday (july 4th) I commented on one of my friends artwork (not saying who) and as we all know comments are not suppose to be taking badly their only given to help artists get better right?
well when I was done I simply thought she would use my comment instead of throw it back in my face..but she told me that if I didn't like her work I shouldn't comment on it... in other words she was trying to tell me that if I wasn't going to fave her work I shouldn't comment on it....now although it sounds somewhat fair I still can't get the feeling that it's not right...everyone comments on artworks that they dont fave and it's no big deal...no one comments to make the artist feel bad only to help them right?

So are we wrong to comment and try to help other members out?
should we only comment on a wall that we're going to fave?
would you think this is fair?

that's ridiculous.......if we only should comment on walls we gonna fav......then....don't comment and just fav.......NO >.<~! well...I think your friend has got something wrong.....and.....i think you've wasted your time to comment.....since she/he only want comment when you fave the work... actually a comment is to help people.....that's the best comment. those comment with just goood, beautiful, I like it ........are those useless ones.......it's should br more with some hints tips and some hard truth.........ha......dun waste time on that such people >.>.........oh anda.....I think....people allready know things like this.....a threat like this is also a waste of time =.=".......

that's a really good point... ! *nods*
I comment when I feel like it, but it doesn't depend on if it's a good or bad work...
and I think you made the right thing, than commenting only in the good works is kinda ridiculous... I think! (and if that would be so, I never would receive a comment!!! xD)

Maybe she just interpreted you wrong... you can still clear it up, don't you think?
Good luck with your friend! ^_^

If somebody just writes "its ugly I hate it", then its understandable why a person would be offended.
But if its written as constructive criticism, then it gives feedback and the artist can improve from theuir mistakes.
I dont think its bad to give "bad comments" as long as it given as constructive critism ^_^

To me, I think it's good to comment on other memebers' wallies as you get other people's opinion rather than what you actually think.
Even to me, I think that sometimes, pplz on my friendz list just adds my walliez to fave even if they don't like it...>.<''

Anywayz, I would love to get comments about what needs improvements rather than just adding it to favourties and not bother about it.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-
i think she is not fair. She shouldn't do that just because you didn't add it to your fave. I mean like, everyone's taste on wallpapers is different, everyone is unigue. So there might be many other people who does not like her wallpaper. Then all those other people who didn't add it to fave, what is she going to do about them? Throw it back at them as well?
I mean like, there's more than 10,000 people in Minitokyo, is she just going to throw it back at everyone who doesn't like it?

i think getting other people's comment is more important than what level you are currently on.

i would just said, dun bother about her. If she is going to act that way just because of you not adding it to fave, I don't even think she even deserves to be on your friends list.

Seen this kind of situation lotsa time. I just going to say this once ^_^ gomen for those who doesn't like it! Life is like that, you don't expect things to go through the way you want it to. Same goes to wallies. If you expect people to like your wallies very much you would have expect people to give good and bad comments or suggestions of it. If all you want is fav from everyone then whats the use for comments box here? Right? Faving is not just for fun you know. People consider it as his or her fav, that means its something real good to deserve it. If you wanna uploaded something just for fav there is not the point in doing wallies at all! I am sure everyone would not like bad comments or suggestion to it cuz its your hard work. But try to live with it and make it even better the next time. This is the way a waller should be. I don't think a person should get angry with the comments cause if you uploaded your work, you should expect good and bad replies. Thats what I think. Reasonable and acceptable reply?

lol right ^_^ yeah, true.. but since someone else would have created a thread on this I figured we might as well get it straight for the new members of course >_<

me agree with meteor! >.< yup yup yup! dey shouldnt get mad wen Kitten comment dem -.- nee...ish Kitten sad >.< dont be bcuz Kiiten has Anime! *huggs Kitten*

I think comments are good. I added just 2 wallpapers in my favs. It has a reason. But I try to comment every wallpaper or doujishi, what my frends make. What I like I didn't give to my favs, I download it. It's maybe not the best, but I do this like that.

If you were just trying to help her then I don't understand why she would be offended. She probably just misunderstood you.

lol thanks Anime ^_^ but I agree with Criox as well if you're going to upload
you're wall you have to be ready for good comments and criti comments..why should
she single me out? cause I told her the truth thats why?
I don't see why she got on me when I told her what I truly thought...not to mention
I already apologized for hurting her feelings even tho I don't see how I hurt her..but maybe I should just lie to her like everyone else is doing...?

I think that constructive criticism may be well recieved as long as you (or anyone commenting) do it in a polite manner... if the person recieving the criticism in an objective way feels he/she is being targeted then he/she is just being childish and you shouldn't waste your time reviewing your "friend's" submissons.

i don't think that it's wrong to comment on a person's work. all comments should be accepted whether it's good or bad, if it's good, well, great. but if it's bad, you still have to accept it because it's just another person's opinion. to lie about it would be nasty because you're just giving false hope.

No, it's not bad to give constructive criticism, it's her fault for not being able to take anything but compliments. ~_~

I guess sometimes people can't handle critism... unless your comment was an offensive comment... o_O But if it wasn't then eh.

oh no it wasn't! >_< I wasn't a meanie >.< I just wanted to help her ;_;
she was the meanie who got angry... T_T

It is not bad to critizise as long as it is constructive criticism... But I guess there are people who does not like to be told their work is not that great...

Triple G

unless you were offensive, impolite or wrong in your critique, which i doubt happened, i dont see how commenting on this person's (or any other's) work could have been bad.

From my art school experience in the past, I've noticed that the most competent art students are very open to thoughtful constructive criticism. They are willing to put themselves out there and face potentially harsh criticism so that eventually their own artwork will improve. If the critique was crap, these people knew it and just ignored it.

On the other hand, the less artistic/competent students would think that they've produced great pieces and think too highly of themselves or their artwork. These people don't really have potential for improvement (and have reached their limit) because they are stagnating and stewing in their own illusion of greatness.

Not to be mean or overly harsh, but people who submit artwork on MT should not do so hoping to only receive flattering comments and favorites. Those who can't handle constructive criticism shouldn't be submitting their work for the MT community - save it for the parents, they'll say nice things about it.

wats constructive criticism?

Quote by AnimexXxHolic009wats constructive criticism?


when you give advice to someone on something in a good way
so it's not a compliment it's sorta like a helping comment but it's in a
good way so that they know you're not trying to be mean...well
if anybody else wants to explain be my guest ^_^'

oh or like when you have a problem on something and you want to give
you're opinion on something but you put it in a good way so that instead of
hurting their feelings you make them want to improve on it ^_^'

or when giving you're opinion on something in a constructive way so that
it's not offensive just helpful.

uhh anyone wanna help me out? O.o
I can't explain it that good...

-_- this happened to many MT members. i've heard a lot. and i know many wallers out there give lots of comments, whether or not it's compliments or even critiques..some may be offensive but hey live with it! u_u yea ok maybe those who gave really offensive comments might hurt the waller..but somehow, i think we all comment on wallpapers because we think it deserves some commenting and let's just say we give tips to help him/her do better! and it isn't good when someone just submits wallpapers to get into the highlights or to get favs. people don't just comment on wallpapers coz we want a fav to it. even BAD works need comments. think about it, we WERE once a newbie in walling ne? well kitten, i think your friend needs to learn what submitting a gallery item is all about ^_^.. although yes, it does feel good to receive nice comments and also lots of favs, how are we gonna improve if that keeps going on? x_x unless we're all pro in walling and it's soooo perfect that no one can give critiques to it.
don't worry about it kitten ;) oh just a reminder, when commenting on someone's wall, make sure u don't be too offensive/sarcastic ya ^_^..it's just rather painful, trust me =)

well I don't think so kitty cause ya kinda helpin her or him like me I don't mind it but I stilol think that well if ya think it still needs work just tell that person that it needs work but I don't hate it.So don't wowwy kitty I don't mind comments from you^.^*hugs*

I agree with Meteorcloud! Your friend shouldn't have taken that comment so negatively. It's good that you're trying to help them out! Unless your comment was offensive like Athrun said (which I highly doubt because you're a sweet person) then that person can't take critism well. I personally would be happy to read comments and tips to improve but then again that's just me.
