Submission criteria

[WeezyGod]

I wouldn’t say a palette that barely covers a small patch of reds is nitpicky, if you look at more accomplished pieces that push the dominant colour theme they will do so with a fair bit more elegance and variety and carefully disguise completely different tones and hues into the contrast and get better depth and readings for it.

I’m glad you’re part of a panel and you’re getting a lot of criticism, you still do seem to resent it though, and I haven’t seen the image pushed to WIP around here, so how can I know whether you take criticism on board and push your work or not?

The fact someone else likes it and I don’t might mean there’s bias (there always is), but might also mean that you’re not to that level where the image, personal bias aside, is at that level where it’s objectively well realised, which is kind of where the bar for the gallery is (since personal bias is not part of the parameters).

You can decide to act on criticism when it’s well offered and constructive, or decide to resent it and criticise the criticism. Only one of the two usually gets you anywhere

I do like critique while I’m making the piece. I received critique from 20-30 artists over the course of the piece…not constantly but some input once or twice from each artist. These are quality artists so the fact that they didn’t pick up on what you did or didn’t see it as much of a concern makes me feel your critique is nitpicking. Sure you could question the quality of those artists as well but they are quality.

-these are a few examples of some of the artists who gave input like yours.

I’ve been done with this piece for a long time now so most critique isn’t really needed. If I’m working on something personal I would be glad to submit it to the WIP section for sure.

The only reason I’m upset about this is because there are pieces that have far, far less technical, conceptual, and aesthetic technique/execution that were accepted into the 2D gallery. I can easily provide examples of these works…although I think for respect of those artists I would do this in private.

so from what I understood just one guy is deciding weather or not a piece of work is accepted in the gallery.

Seriously this system sucks at has nothing to do with a proper jury.

Yea I agree, your work is as good as, if not better than a lot of other stuff I’ve seen in the gallery. seems to me that submissions are accepted almost arbitrarily. It would be a lot better if they had more judges or at least someone higher to confirm the declined submissions.

My work got declined too for the same reason but my older work got accepted and that’s awful in comparison. http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=155715
