Why exactly am I obligated to help you? I don't particularly fell like holding your hand, especially when a) you aren't very good, b) you don't seem to want to put the effort into improving unless it involves constant blowjobs from your peers, and c) I don't like you.

Then don't post. Simple as that.

It isn't the critic's job to explain HOW a thing should be done, only WHAT is wrong and WHY. Hunter explained that Eggie's art lacked structure, that's enough. Eggie asked Hunter would tell him what he should do from there (when "study human stucture and modify your art to match" is the obvious answer) and Hunter told him he wouldn't. Sure, he didn't say it all nicely, but come on, that's just not Hunter's schtick.

I really don't see what he did wrong here.

If you can't take some negative criticism without breaking into hysterics, you've got some problems, man. If you really respected your art, you'd ignore the bad comments and not complain, but right now you're just feeding the flames with your whining. As for your art, I think you're trying too hard. Since you've ardently pointed out that you want advice, not criticism, I'll suggest

Forget it.

I tried to fix up structure. I would say I did an okay job for having very little clue on what it is, but hey, I gave him more shoulder.

I now see a huge difference... and I am now taking a liking to your art.

Those cloths really help your art. Nice pose too. Just gotta work on hands a bit (Dont we all?).

Thanks. I AM trying to get better at hands. I'm really disappointed with the right one.

Think skeletal structure. If you notice, people aren't shaped like tubes. And I don't think you quite got it with Giz's comment on the hair. Look at the way Fenrir draws hair on his furries. It looks a lot more natural, like it's really a part of them, as opposed to looking like a wig as it does on yours. Most, if not all, of Fen's characters have hair that's the same color as their fur, if you'll notice.

Jesus, Hunter! If you hate his art THAT much and don't have CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions to help him improve, then just don't post!

Why are you obligated to help him? You're not! If you don't want to help him, then keep your mouth shut.

This forum is for people to post art to receive criticism. Criticism doesn't include "helping". Like I said, you tell a person WHAT is wrong and WHY. HOW is their job.

Since this has pretty much served its point, and the only thing left is random flames going back and forth, I'll lock this and let it gradually "sage" to the bottom of the pile. If anyone can come up with an absolutely valid reason to keep this open, go ahead and PM me, and I'll give it my best consideration. Eggie, if you want this reopened, just give me a yell, mmkay?

Thanks.
