Eric,

What is going on, man?

People have brought up a lot of legitimate points and you haven’t really given a clear explanation or rebuttal to the points addressed...

As an artist myself, I am learning a lot about publicity and reputation in college, and what you’re doing really isn’t helping to foster a good image - in fact, its contributing to quite the opposite. I hate to sound obvious, but when you’re posting, always keep in mind that potential clients and customers could be reading your posts, and that your reputation (whether online or offline) is priceless.

You may have lost business because of this.

Every action has a real consequence, and you need to realize that if you wish to continue to be successful as a artist, you need to step back and really condsider what your goals are. What do you want to be known for?

Do you want to be known for great models and a friendly demeanor? Hopefully.

Do you want to be known as someone who goes into crazy rants and gives mixed, delusional messages? That kind of stuff is just unproductive. Period.

Hopefully you wish to be known as a talented and reliable, cool person. As an artist, you’ve definitely got talent (believe me, I know talent when I see it) but you need to be more open to others opinions and stop with the “they’re out to get me” and the “evil oppressors are out to destroy my cause” nonsense. Time spent debating is time you could be using to build your next creation or do some research on a new concep t.

Its all about and respect for others and the *rules that govern the community*. That is what others are asking for. Follow those and you’ll be in a far better position.

I’m not the type of guy who likes to lecture people at all...in fact, I get lectured to a lot, but I thought I’d chime in on this because I hate to see someone with potential bring himself down.

(...) A message to the Evil Oppressors: Your disparagment and oppression only serves to strengthen my resolve. I have 5000+ views on the Qwelder-Mech Gallery that says it is a good idea to let folks know about the sale. No one speaks for the "mecha (...)
