I tend to not enjoy the humanizing, but I thought your drawings were bucking excellent.

They looked really, really good in my opinion.

I don't like the furry animals with breasts either....either a full Human or a full Pony I like.

Some people just can't stop pushing their own standards to others, you shouldn't put too much worth on their words

TESTIFY!

You know I back you on this 100%

I myself can enjoy a sexy lady,

and I don't find cartoon ponies attractive. So when you turn Rarity's sass into a beautiful woman.

I approve, I approve a lot.

A pretty understandable rant. Anime-style drawings are the popular thing - bandwagoners, artists, and other fans like to flock around anything that's remotely cute/sexy enough with its stamp and revel in how simple yet appealing its design can be. Not like the complexities of your recent drawing of Rarity, of course.

I appreciate the anime characters, don't get me wrong, I love them... and I like to see some human ponies, but I also like other kind of drawings, of the mane6 in a more realistic scenario.

haha Thanks mama Shank!

but this is me agaisnt the forums, tell me something about that :/

No, it's not the forum against you. It's the fanboys and the baleful critics against you as an artist.

If they can only give you hateful messages on how their preferences is the best, while unable to hand out constructive criticisms, why should you care?

I understand and I'm OK with that, but why bash on other styles, fine if you don't like the style don't comment!

but still, I can say who is fanboy and who's not, but I was all by myself...and you are right, hiding what you really feel with critisism is not good

I don't think these forums are the best place for critiques anyways. Not sure what made this piece make people actually say something, but people normally like to be nice so people will usually either hear nice words, or nothing at all. I guess I tried to change that a bit only to find that it gets rather mixed results as it's pretty hard to tell how much critiquing somebody wants. I could tear art to pieces as I learn more and more about what makes art to be great, but I usually hold back a bit and only focus on what's most important.

I remember when you said that you were a fan of my works. If it means anything, I've been on the receiving end of getting an a ton amount of critical attention which everyone was too nice or just not knowledgeable enough to give earlier. Look at the description in this deviation and you can tell that I definitely also had a bit of critiquing: http://fav.me/d5gmjhg

Heh. Look at me and this thread which doesn't get any critical attention:

http://mlpforums.com/topic/37832-could-use-input-for-a-new-pixelling-style-of-mine/

...Prob because I was looking in the WRONG place to look. I could probably search up for an art site dedicated to giving and receiving critiques for the sake of improvement, but I was mainly interested in opinions the anatomical style used. I guess people were too nice.

We could all have our own reasons for drawing one particular style. We all have our own preferences. I for one like styles that sit between realism I find dull and animu that I find hardly believable. I think we also have to remember that our audience also have their own preference - they have their own sense of aesthetics.

While people do seem to have their own reasons for wanting to draw one particular way, it's probably fair to say that there may also be reasons why people like particular styles over another. Some styles are more serious, others more whimsical, and so on.

Heck, I also stupefied myself when I made a little something cute for my sis as I know that a cute art style will work the best. Here's the exact deviation: http://pix3m.deviantart.com/art/Birthday-Gift-Flutterdash-Icon-326344739

Then, I watched it turn out to be one of my more popular works and amazed myself with the fave spam I get on dA. It basically overshadowed my other individual works that the same amount of effort put into it.

I guess the biggest lesson we can learn from here is just to know what people expect if we wanna make the most out of our audience. We can draw for ourselves ans satisfy ourselves, but it seems that things are different if we're dealing with an audience.

@@Pix3M, but I wasn't seeking for critiques, and I'm aware that this is not the place to seek for REALLY usefull critiques, though in here, we have AMAZING artists.

I don't mind critiques in my art threads, but people took the situation to "critique" just to find a reason to bash on my artworks, because they don't like the style. Which I don't get, because it's supposed to be a HUMAN.

or I don't know, if for being Motion Spark, people ALREADY have high standards for me, I couldn't tell.

Yeah, there's a definite preference for anime-style over realistic style. I personally love the style. Still, your picture (I'm assuming it's Rarity in a bikini) is pretty popular. I'll be perfectly honest and say that it doesn't really appeal to my tastes (mostly because I'm not into racy images), but it is certainly a well-drawn piece that should be commended.
