    your body has this thing called metabolism, it is different for each person, but it is how many calories your body gets rid of before it starts gaining weight, this can be altered slightly when taking into account: your general eating habits and exercise. but mostly it is genetics. 

    weight doesn't mean too much without a height as well.  So if you are very tall, 142 may be underweight. but if you are shorter, you may be slightly overweight for your height.

    hope this helps you with your mysteryi.

    I wasn't quite being literal with this post x3 bit yes, I am tall, thus, very skinny.

    Got me at the expert contortionist. Sincerely made me chuckle that did. The problem with making art is that it requires some form of study, that if you want to make it look half decent and at least technically accurate.

     

    To me for something to qualify as "art" it would have to display technical skill and conceptual investment or overt messages (political or otherwise).

    Example of this would probably be....Banksy...well known Modern English Graffiti artist. His stuff is not only technical in skill but it normally has some overt message, perhaps not the most original or in depth messages but he still communicates ideas via a fun and new way that display true technical talent. Because of that, almost nothing on Deviantart qualifies as art to me. Maybe commercial art if it display technical skill since it made to look nice and grasp an audience. Most of the stuff I see is purely drawn for fun, a hobbyist past time. 

     

     

    Too many people these days are coddled in art class and use it's "their style" to worm out of the sheer inability to master drawing. Drawing requires frankly getting insulted alot if you want it to be taken seriously at all by anyone who knows at least a little about the subject and because of it visual nature this rejection and ridicule can take both a verbal but actual visual decrying of a persons work-red lining for example-

     

    I think that's one of the major factors people don't draw, they don't want to open themselves to critique even if they know they are bad and it merely to help them pen out stuff for their future ideas. Pony generator offers a cheap and dirty visualizer for ideas as well as a bail out for possible criticism. But because my own qualifications for art are specific do not mean others is, they may still treat them harshly like anything that is claiming to be art under their own personal idea of what can fall under it and thus try to claim itself as such by doing so.

    Glad you understand my point and look to the reasons why and why not.  

     

    I know not many people want to be critiqued, but they should.  And as stated, there are so many other artists willing to do the work for them it's not even funny.  We have a huge request section just for that.  

     

    And most certainly there are other styles that may not be considered "art" by one viewer.  But if you look at the overall medium, eventually there is a meaning to it.

     

    But you are most certainly right; nobody wants to get hurt, but without a harsh critique, you will never get any better at what you do.

    Proving anything won't get people on board.  Just look at the CPU (Communist Party USA) Do you ever see them place in the polls? No.  Trust me, no matter what you say is going to take off the negative connotations.

    I honestly never want to live in a country that has a totalitarianism-mindset.  When you realize that even with democracy, this would be horrible for certain groups in the social structure, you can have an argument.
