Why do YOU post sigs / art?

[Romek1uk]

I've noticed recently how many people post sigs, and get really happy when someone says "nice", but don't give a sh*t about constructive criticism... So I'll post a poll.

Why do you post your sigs/art?

[zangetsuBankai]

this is because every1 wants praise or a pat on the back when they have put forth effort & hard work & its not that ppl dont like constructive criticism its that they dont like put downs or neg comments im sure if u make suggestions in a positive manner theyre 10time more likely 2 listen 2 than if ur comment than if u say the same thing with a neg comment besides no 1 here is truely professional so some ppl rather not take advice from some1 who is still learning themselves but i for 1 like 2 see how they progress so i try 2 promote them posting their wrk on here xD

get criticism.......though this doesn't work so well in the poll...

cos...criticism includes ppl sayin "nice".

i post just to get comments, see how ppl like it, if it was up to standard, etc. as well as for problems, anythin that needs improving, etc.

EDIT: ....zB just summed up everythin u could say in this thread lol ^ ^

[Suki Nami]

so people could know on how to improve..ZB-san said it all..

[Pineappledishwasher]

To show off how good I am- Yeah, ok sure >_>

To get Rep.- Never cared about rep really, but I like it when I get rep because of my sigs, since people rarely give rep for "bad" sigs

To get criticism and learn how to improve- Yes, this is what I want, and from every thread I have made I have gotten especially that, check my third thread I made, thre pages with me discussing with other members about my sigs, love it! <3

Because I love it when people say "Nice"-I hate the word itself, but its always nice to only get something like that only if it makes me a little happy for only a second xD

well i don't really post sigs. hell i don't any know how to make one.

[Vergil the Fallen]

yeah negative criticism is one thing, completely f*cking it up is another. I always love -ve criticism but in a good way. Hell, i get -ve criticism from blackmamba and zB all the time but how do i respond? making my skills better.

[Romek1uk]

Cool!
I just started this because I seemed to be the only [Along with Mamba, Razord and zB] one on the forums actually commenting on sigs. Not murdering them with insults.. telling people how to improve xD
Everyone else just.. said crap xD

besides no 1 here is truely professional so some ppl rather not take advice from some1 who is still learning themselves but i for 1 like 2 see how they progress so i try 2 promote them posting their wrk on here xD

You're a professional... I just like to take advice from anyone. People who are better tend to give better improving tips. But other people stull give good comments.

Aren't you a professional graphics designer or something zB?

[hyourinume]

hmm, probably to get criticisms on how i can improve or probably so i can have an advice from someone here..

(i wasn't really proud of my works so showing off is not an option.. XD)

If I read through the posts I would say about 60% is plain comments with no input. For me I don't want any criticism, I make signatures to make people understand what level they currently stand and indicate so they will improve. o.O I have seen peeps who act like they know everything about gfx, nevertheless they are nothing but hollow shells. o.o"

You don't need any reason to post your signature at all; however, if you always criticize others but don't display any of your work then I think your criticism is equal to a useless comment. ^^"
