okay, when people post a ship or drawing, etc, etc, it really bugs me to se people say:
"You should change..."

i mean, i may sound like a 2nd grade teacher, but this is rude...*constructive* criticism is when you give *suggestions*, not *orders* or *intructions*.

"In my opinion, it would look a little better if..."

"Maybe you could change that..."

see? it just *sounds* better.

Small pet peeve

Somehow I thought this rant would be about yappy little dogs, gerbils and tarantulas.

I agree with his views above, but I'm slightly disappointed.

Coming from someone who's had a short story workshopped, aka, torn to shreds, and then had to glue it back together again, making it tons better, i know exactly what you mean. we learned good criticism, and bad criticism.
bad criticism: your plot sucks
good criticism: your plot was very hard for me to follow, and didn't flow very well. it seemed there were too many things going on.
or: i wasnt sure who this person was/what his purpose was. try explaining him more so that we get a better picture of him.

pleh. thank goodness i had jack this past semester *L* good teacher.

After I've drawn a ship 8 or 9 times and present a final product, you'd find it hard pressed to get me to make any changes.

And a peeve does sound a bit like a cuddly alien pet. Possibly on that is aggravating.
