Description


Edited the file. My bad English. >___<;

Occasionally seeing incidents where the commenter makes irrelevant comments on work, like comparisons to their own favorite anime/ games character designer or mangaka, disregarding the fact that the artists may not have actually heard of them in the first place. I generally feel that's the biggest pet peeves by artists who took great prides in their creations.

Firstly, it may makes the artist feels inadequate in their ability to come out with their own design and have to rely on existing ideas. Some artists simply chilled and relax receiving comments like these. There are also others who might get little unnerved.

Not saying that borrowing ideas must be avoided at all cost. Personally, I don't believe in achieving 100% originality in artworks. I do think that some of the great design ideas existing now are the creation of cross-referencing, and drawn from nature.

Secondly, when someone makes comment like how the style reminded them of the artwork by famous mangaka of current time, I don't know but personally it feels like that person has only read this many manga in their life. There are so many styles and mangaka in the world before. Why assume that the artist must have being influenced by that one famous mangaka only?

In summary, writing comments that says nothing, only one sentence that's along the line of making comparison to existing manga/ games on original artworks may not turn out to be as helpful to the artist as one may think. If that is the first comment in mind, stop and think clearly before posting.
