It actually doesn't. In case you haven't noticed, this section isn't really active any more. So your accusations are pretty much false.

Not an accusation, more of an observation and an opinion, but think what you think.
 
If you want comments, you need to comment on other people's showcases.
And even better, you should ask them up front to comment on your graphics. I know that's the way I work. I'm not going to waste my time commenting on someone's stuff unless they ask, because I don't go around commenting in my free time without some kind of shove for motivation. <_<


If you want votes, then I suggest you improve. Nobody here votes for their friends; That's just stupid. But we're not about to give you pity votes either. o_O We vote for the tags that we like the most, nothing more to it. Even if your tag is good, if there's another one that we think is better, are we going to vote for yours, or the other one? 99% chance we're gonna vote for the other one. That's the way competitions work, nuff said.


As for the clique observation, I'd say yes, there was a clique at one point, but that has long dissolved thanks to this section's general inactivity, so I'd say what you're seeing is just a remnant of the past. There's always going to be a clique somewhere as long as a group of people have similar interests and become friends. If you want the people in the clique to be more open, you have to give them a reason to do so, but seeing as there is no clique anymore, you're just going to have to appeal to the individual persons.


For example, I would never have commented on either Mannequin or Nitrous Oxide's showcases, but since you guys have commented here saying that they want comments.

And Nitrous Oxide? Twenty four hours? D: You are seriously overestimating how fast this forum moves. <_<;;; If you told me a week, then maybe I'd be a little more sympathetic, but showcases here can go months without comments dude. This is a pokemon forum, not a graphics forum. xD; I think maybe you'll want to try Anime Renders if you're looking for fast comments, but that place might eat you alive at this point, just a tip.




And I agree with Conman.
Comments = Graphics Rating Thread.


Now excuse me while I go comment on your guys' threads. <_<; If anyone else wants comments, seriously? Just VM me. I'm not going to eat you. x_o
 
Yes, but I pointed out the reasons because this isn't the first time you've mentioned it. :<

Again, a joke, but apparently hard to convey with just text.

And yeah I complained that I never got comments, but I also said that I stopped posting graphics here because of it. I found another forum with a most active graphics community. I mean PC can't have sections that are as active as OT or OC
 
I think I'll go around and comment on showcases since people feel left out...Of what? IDK...​

Well that's good, and that's exactly what the point of my earlier post was. <_<; It's a pokemon community, not a graphics community.

The G&P heyday passed awhile ago. Who knows when it'll come back; Maybe you've already instigated it, seeing as me and Conman are officially motivated to start commenting on other showcases.
But we don't have a lot of generous people here, so usually you'll have to take the incentive if you want something to happen. ;<

And if they were jokes, then that's good, because I was kind of "<_<" about the fact that you were sore about not getting any votes. xD; But glad to see that you're a good sport, and that I'm obviously not. [/shot!]


I don't know either Conman. xD; I don't think I ever commented on your showcases more than once, even though we were definitely in the same clique.

Eh? I'm used to PE2K where my thread would probably have about 15 replies by now. This forum is bigger than PE2K and has more members, so I assumed it would be similar. :paranoid:
 
Would most of those comments/replies be;

"YOUR STUFF IS GREAT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK."

What kind of comments are you exactly looking for? Comments to flatter your work or comments that might help you improve your work or what you've done well in them.

Most of the time I tend to avoid other people's showcases, because I'm not good with construction criticism. But I won't post in someone's thread just to state their graphics look good.

Mix of both, mostly. Everybody needs people to tell them that their stuff is good as well as constructive criticism, I find. I mean, if no one ever told me the stuff I made at first was kind of cool or good, I certainly wouldn't have continued on. Doesn't hurt to tell people you like their stuff once in a while. :P
 
Hmm, well here at PC, just saying, "WOW I LIKE YOUR WORK" is considered as spam, so. ;<
I'm a little lenient on that rule, but that's mostly why a lot of people who have been around don't post like that. We take quite a bit of time to write out comments most of the time. xD;
 
I used to do a lot of cC but then people just ignored what I said, when I stopped using graphic keywords. I mean another member says the exact same thing with a few graphic keywords and bam they listen to them. Even if that person themselves have no idea what those words properly mean. Oh your signature section looks sweet so I'll pay attention to what you say.

Plus when I post I nitpick a lot.
 
Wow, this section kind of sucks for this joke, since most of us have our names in our showcase titles. D: [/failure]
 
Well I'm really itching to find out who posted in my thread. No one usually would.
 
Oh lordy, if anyone does enter with a photo taken with their phone I might have to top myself. xD
 
But not taken with a phone, my brains are safe. xD

I'd rather have a gallery and request section and a competition section. But that'll never happen.
Feel free to move to lounge if it's better suited there…

I'll keep praying.
 
What idiot would use a phone camera? DSi camera is the way of the future!
