| I was just wondering... I know supposedly people are most critical of their own work but do the rest of you feel like you can look at your vexels and pick out every imperfection? I mean, I really could sit down with photoshop and just circle one after another on my vexels, real imperfections yet I don't see the same problems on other people's vexels and when people are giving me 'pointers' they SO RARELY point out the huge glaring errors that I see in my own stuff and am way too lazy to correct. Am I so all alone? |

| As YOU have been staring at your own vexels for hours and hours, I don't think it's that weird you notice imperfections others, who just look at a vexel for not more than two minutes (ok, unless the vexel is outstanding) don't notice. When I look at my own vexels I always see things that bother me, but people rarely point them out. Maybe they're just lazy though. :P | ||

| I was going to make a thread about this too.. except what really bothers me is when people fish for compliments. For example, when they plug their gallery, 'It sucks', 'My vexels suck',. I like it more when people give reasons other than just 'I don't think you'd like my gallery', but when somebody (*ahem*me*ahem*), gives some critique they jump and don't even bother checking their vexel and make an excuse for it. 'It's supposed to be like that'. Yes, that bothers me. So is there supposed to be no neck? No knees? | ||

Ohh, I hate that, Carina! I hate hate hate when people say that they suck and it's so obvious that they just want people to say 'No, you're good!' or 'It's o.k.!' and grrr yes you're so right ~swings Carina around!

I mean, I've stared at some vexels long enough to find imperfections in stuff submitted by even the most stunning vexellers but mine just look soooo childish to me and it amazes me that people say nice things : ) hahaha and then I'm conceited at the same time : / |

It's even worse because some of my online friends do that. No, not you Echo ;). People who have more favorites than me, people who have more watches than me, people who've had a VOTW when I haven't are saying, 'I suck. Gee, I suck. I suck. NO IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT STFU!' When people do that, I just say 'It's okay, just practice' ;) ;). Oh, the cruelty of me.... |

I don't even say my own comment on it, period. |

| Maybe people don't point out the really obvious mistakes because they think you'll say "it's meant to be like that" because it's so obvious :P I've tried to come up with a reply to this but I'm different from vexel to vexel.. sometimes I know all the mistakes and other times I have spent that much time on it that I delude myself into thinking there are none :P |

| The person/s I'm referring to is constantly fishing compliments. For example, if I said, 'Hey, I need some vexels to feature for my vexhibition article,' this person/s would say, 'All of mine are bad. But if you want, and use them :D'. It's like, 'No, duh. Obviously you know you're good, but you just want people to tell you that'. The person/s I'm referring to has had so much more +favs, watches, comments and 'awards' than me I just ignore him when he/she does that. | ||

| I usually am happy with my vexels when I post them and then after I look back on them and I always am tempted to change or delete 'em. I've noticed too with mine, on higher screen resolutions they look terrible, but then I get back home and think they look fine again. | ||

| I have mild OCD, which makes me extremely critical of everything I do. Even if there isn't something really wrong with something I think there is, and anyone who tells me anything else is just trying to make me feel better. | ||

| I almost always can point out flaws in my work, but I try to think of each piece as a whole and not "an arm, a chin, lips, and hair" which then allows me to submit it! :D A lot of the time people don't point out the flaws (thank god ;) ) but when someone does its like DAMN, they found it lol | ||

| Outside of vexelling, I draw a lot.. and do a lot of graphic design.. and a lot of photography, so I am very used to being super critical of myself. Because that is how you get better - knowing how you need to improve. However, knowing what is GOOD will also help you. When I am finished with a piece.. usually I am just done, Im not going to go back and fix something. The only exception to this is photography when I'll re-shoot something, but usually I will just keep those mistakes in mind and try not to make them the next time. I gurantee you I could list 10 things about each one of my vectors I know I could improve on. |
