I like it here, but I think the forums could be a little more active... I understand that a lot of you are busy doing your own things, but giving a friend a hand would be great too, specially in the WIP section, since there are a couple threads where people need help... not only me, but I see a couple of topics with like 200 views and no comments... if you know what I mean. Thanks all.  I help from time to time, but don't forget I'm not as knowledgable nor experienced as many of you are in terms of giving proper accurate feedback... I've only been doing this for about 6 months so far, so yeah lol. Also, this applies to all sections in generals... your opinion is important, and that's something not many are willing to bother sharing.  Make some time! help your fellow pixel users!  |

| I agree. Hopefully we can emphasize the (wip) forums more in v.3, maybe even get a few helping hands to moderate |

I don't think emphasizing the forums is necessarily the main problem here (though I know alot of people seem afraid to jump in and get wet with the concept of using one). What I've seen go down many times is that alot of posters tend to not follow up on critiques and general helpful advice. It's very discouraging for those genuinely interested in assisting a fellow PJer. On the other hand, with comments like yours saying that you lack the proper feedback is silly in a way. We all learn as we go. Use references (photo if possible... those silly manga references lead the uninitiated down the wrong path so often). I think it would be beneficial to get to know the ones that really are interested in helping each other through constructive comments and try to form a coalition to help another member follow through until completion. Of course, that's a great idea in thought alone... it's another to make action of it. |

Well like I said... I can support in terms of help, but I was just merely pointing out that I am not as experienced, which is true haha, it's not an excuse, I'm just being realistic... I'm pretty sure most of you who have been doing these for years might be able to spot problems I might not be able to notice at my current level. Either way, I'll help when I can... Also well as we all know, this is more of an unique community... pixel art is a rare skill that not many people can really excel at, that's why opinions and help is really important among us, haha I know I sound a little epic here, but it's true, I at least expect people to be more active in overall, since it's more or less a new thing on my side, considering I only have months of practicing this skill. ------------- |
