Please, if my ego ever gets that big, KICK ME

What. The. Hell.

OKAY NEWSFLASH TO ALL ARTISTS! One does not have to be a big time professional in order to hand out critique. In this case, the artist giving the critique was RIGHT, and the "professional artist" and his friend were just unable to receive any criticism.

I seriously have no real response to that other than to leave a super lengthy critique comment and see what happens. I cannot stand people who assume that they're better than everyone nd therefore on a higher plane. My honest belief is that once you place yourself above all other artists, you won't ever improve because you can't allow yourself to anymore.

If I ever act like that, kick me or something.

(Now, I want to add that I do NOT advocate leaving any flames for this person. However, I highly advocate leaving intense critique if it's true)

EDIT

Sorry guys, I left him a valuable critique and he hid the comment.

Oh well, Some battles aren't worth fighting. I still state that I wish to never have such over the top ego about people who are "lesser" leaving critique. I respect everyone's critique.

On a side note MY HOUSE IS VIBRATING!

My ability to concentrate no longer exists. After 10 hours of ridiculous customers I just want to REST! In pure quiet.

Don't worry Mera, I doubt you could ever act like that. Sheesh, no kidding too. How does one get a job with an attitude like that. Reminds me of another couple of attitude problems here.

I will take mental note of that for the future =3

Agreeing to your statement, after reading the critique, I just wish artists would take criticism and not be all anal about it. Decide whether or not to take it to heart and then move on, and not make such a big deal about it. -_-
:iconkodriak:
Well, the artist's reply was a little...outrageous.
His comment about ~Fire-n-ash's artwork caught me totally by surprise, and shocked me. Not only was it rude, it was extremely immature. And the whole "oh, I'm blocking you btw" thing actually made me lawl a bit. How childish!
Some people...wouldn't know a good critique if it came up and slapped them in the face.

Wow, what a dick o__O The critic's artwork stunned me far more than theirs. Methinks there's a sign of the green-eyed artist in there.

Damn, what an ass... I've caught snippets of this kind of bitching here and there on DA, and it's never pretty. Always someone who gets a bit of critique who goes "YOU DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY THAT I'M BETTER THAN YOU BAWWW" all over and then has a bunch of suckups defend them. I mean, I may go "ouch" at critique if it was on something I really liked, but I can suck it up.

I love your responses, though. Way to give them some cold hard truth with reference!

:iconmoonsongwolf:
I love that quote because it perfectly illustrates how the "you aren't better at drawing than I am, so you can't critique me" line is complete and utter BS.

And it's very applicable in this instance where the response to a measured and unoffensive critique was completely over-the-top. Most artists above the age of 24, amateur and professional alike, show more grace than that in dealing with out-and-out trolling.

Although, on the bright side, I now watch ~Fire-n-ash. She has some awesome stuff. :)
