What I dislike, if is someone takes aways critique, and say it doesn't apply or is already good enough. I called his standards low. Reading comprehension, don't get emotional, I dislike it and will ignore your thread next time.
Then you can stay at whatever level you feel comfortable, without any improvement. Why, if it's ok for some ? Why be better... ? Who needs to be ? This is why I hate these threads, I am out.
Btw, I do not think of my work very high. I am constantly very unhappy about it. While I often don't care about opinions on forums much (because I don't think high of others much, people here often write the stupidest stuff ever), I judge myself quite harshly,
and I am almost always willing to start over from beginning. I am willing to live with mistakes ( I never work on projects until they're even semi-perfect), but I know and always acknowledge them.
You know I am an architect for 15 years and I love architectural visualizations from the time I got my first pc. I have also a sick fetish about photorealism and a true respect for very few cg artists who deserve to call their works "photorealistic". It happens to follow your work for a long time from other forums (Ronen's etc) and I have to say that you are a talented cg artist but you were also a low profile guy.
Your style to critisize other people's work changed a lot and shows that you consider yourself a master. Semi-perfect work? Hmmm... Let me tell you my point of view about your work. The artistic look you have seems to me overbright-not natural at all. And from your last works I see details not worked very well (bed linen, not natural background etc). I expect this kind of excessed critisism from huge cg masters like Bertnard and Alex Roman and not from an artist who doesnt recognize his own work mistakes.
As I said Lucas made some very descent work and needs to hear positive critisism like other forum members did, so all of us should help him to push the limits and not dissapoint him with negative thoughts.
I am so sorry for the offtopic, but I had to get it out of my chest.

You misquote me quite a much as well. I stated I don't even try to achieve semi-perfect (for lack of better word) because I can't and it's not in my power.
Meaning I do really consider my work to be very average.But my own work, has
nothing to do with my possibility to give critique.
Also, no one is talking about style, just purely technical shortcomings. If the work tries to be realistic, than poor texturing takes it down. It's very easy to correct, and I gave him than critique because I thought he it would really help him a lot,
since that's really the only thing the pictures were missing.
I was never a low-profile guy, I am very
intense guy and if you would have followed me from 2009 when I entered cgarchitect community, you would know I never sugarcoat my words, and I don't care about other people's emotions and feeling.
I don't try to be nice,
I try to be helpful. If someone cannot read through that, because he gets offended, than I am sorry, but that is purely his fault. But I am tired of all the super-over-sensitive people. If all of you have been in bussiness for 15 years.
and some harsh testament on internet raffles your feathers, that's not my fault and neither intention. Internet and professional community is not kindergarten, it's place to exchange opinions in civilized manner, but that's it.
Don't project your insecurities onto my profile. My persona and my work,
has no connection to my opinions. Keep same distance to yourself and talk on topic, not ad hominem.
And btw, if you would properly read my first post, you would actually know I started with compliment on very good lighting and then gave him critique on shortcomings. But yes, please continue with emotions so you can get it "off your chest".
And also feel free to write childish posts where you feel the need to concentrate on me, instead of what I said. I am glad you don't think I am master like Bertrand and A.Roman, neither do I think so I. Pretty obvious but I guess you have issue with me.
I hope you feel better now.
