Okay, just like the Post-a-comment thread!, this one is for posting a Review on artist's work. I know I've not used this feature much and it's still in Beta. Anybody use it?

Leave a review of the artwork of the person above you. then you can post here to get one yourself.

Game?

Done, Samson,

Well someone has to start it !

I picked this one as I hadn't commented or voted on it up until now !
The Real King by Team member, GFXartist sponsor emarts

Edit ! if you have commented on my work please feel free to add your name below without writing a review... Your not going to get a better deal than that !!

Ok… well I’ve given it a shot.

Was gonna review (rather predictably) - 99% DNA - but I couldn’t think of any ‘cons’ – and as this was supposed to be an exercise in using the review facility I opted for - The Abbey [soft focus Version 11] ;) by  Almost-Human instead.

Ok – I’ve donned my flak jacket… guess I’ll just have to grin and bear it now (paint)

Well Team member, GFXartist sponsor emarts looks like I killed your post off for you (paint)….
Nobody wants to review my stuff ….. C’mon guys I can take it – honest! (huh).
Or review an Team member, GFXartist sponsor emarts or  Almost-Human piece… lets just get the old gal resuscitated! :p

I’ve had a go at doing some ‘real world’ reviews too… Found it a bit cumbersome to use to start with but once you get into the swing of it, it becomes more natural. I find it easiest to work backwards – filling in the comments section first, then pulling out pertinent points for the pros and cons sections.
The only thing I feel uncomfortable about is using the drop-downs for the ‘objective’ analysis. It’s a bit like voting – no-one’s gonna agree what constitutes Strong and Very Strong – everyone’s gonna be insulted by a rating of Average or less. And it really doesn’t say anything that you aren’t going to expand on in the comments section (with a lot more tact and diplomacy if necessary). I tried not selecting anything – but it won’t let you :(

Overall though I found it really useful – I’m aware I have a tendency to write too much in the comments (never one for using 2 words when 20 will do the same job ) and I find it useful to be able to stick it all out of the way so that it doesn’t interrupt the more lively flow of the comments section. I think it’s worth dropping a comment in as well though, just to mention you’ve posted a review – otherwise they probably won’t look at all!

I commented on "Icarus's Flight" since it was the only artwork in your gallery, Aeglos, but i really like it and hope to see more of your work.

*Waits patiently for someone to write a review on one of my pics:)*

Hmmm, looks like everyone's gone to the post-a-comment thread. Personally I find that reviews are much more helpful in improving your work.
Anyways, I posted a review for Traff's latest work "Tunnel Vision", hope to bring this topic back to life.

Ok, I hope my babble is of any use to you. :)

I reviewed Mock Turtle? by  addicted2macs .

Hope this thread keeps going.
I often see people making reviews in the comment section.
I still wonder why.

What's the difference between a review and a comment?

Check any picture you like and there click on the "Reviews" tab next to the "Comments" tab.
It's self-explanatory.

oh god make it stop :lol ;)


Its way WAY too busy for a website design -- generally for websites I'd say pic 1 or 2 colors total, and use different tonal ranges instead of assloads of colors.

someone comes across this on the web and their first reaction would be like mine : Obviously this is the gate to visual hell.

sorry

I'm confused 8o what did Crazyboy's painting have to do w/web design? Just skip me...folks, I have no new works..I was just trying to figure out what Clair was talking about.
