EDIT

Sorry, everyone. From the looks of things, I'm going to have to spend this weekend and next week doing homework and getting prepared for tests. It's near the end of the school year, so teachers are packing up on the work that we didn't cover yet. I got loads of work to do so I won't be able to return quite yet (even though I want to badly). I may occasionally come on every now and then just to get away from the work and relax somewhat, but I won't be staying on a long time. Thought I should give you all the heads-up.

Hey everyone! I got back last Friday, so now I'm doing catch-up work with homework and tests. From the looks of things, I should be able to get everything done by this Thursday (which is tomorrow!!).

So I've noticed there's a neat little gadget on dA now. The one where you can critique other people's work. ^^ I'm glad they made that. Now because this feature has been added onto dA, I'm wondering whether I should continue critiquing or not. Ever since I've started with so many people, it's been difficult to do all of them (if any, really). What do you guys think? Should I stop my critiquing (unless you post a picture that says you're requesting a critique - and that I have time)?

Here's what my plan looks like starting this summer. I'm going to be working on a lot of fine arts type of projects because of the class I'll be taking next year. Also, I'm going to try and start my own website again. The first time I didn't have enough knowledge of how to run one, but now that a few years have passed, I think I can manage.

I think you having a website would be really cool. You could stick your critiques and redlines on there as well. ^^

I think you should definitely keep critiquing, when you have time. I understand that it's hard to keep up with everyone wanting critiques.

The crit thing is neat XDD You COULD still offer it if you want, though...I think it would be better if you gave more priority to non-subscribers, since everyone with subs can set an alert on their art now to plz crit, which goes out to a lot of people. o_o

Out of curiosity, how is your half of our trade coming? I know you've been busy and all, but...it's been...awhile. XDDDD;;;

Oh - it only works for those who don't have subscriptions? I didn't know that. (hmm... may have to think about it some more then.)

Yeah, I know - about a year now, I think. I'm extremely sorry about that - I actually have the picture upstairs in my bedroom right now. I just haven't had a lot of time to actually post it up. I'm aiming to post everything trade related up on the weekend (I also have a trade going on with Oki).
:iconshanree:
OH! Now that's a cool idea. I didn't think about that - thanks!!

Yeah, it is. Hmm.. I found after doing this for more than a year, though, that it really does help some people improve. I'll have to think about it.
:iconmechanicalkat:
Well... I don't think I phrased it quite right, sorry XDD; Everyone with subs gets the huge official Critique option...and the fact that you want some on a particular piece pops up in the message center of everyone else with subs. It also pops up in this big DA Channel so users beyond your watches can see it and post critiques too, if they wanted.
People without subscriptions don't get any of that; they just have to use the drop down box when submitting to put up that teeny message that 'Advance Critique is encouraged' and hope someone notices instead of just commenting like usual. o_o *hopes that all makes sense* So that's why I think you should offer more critique to people who don't have the subscriptions and can't take advantage of the new feature.

Ahhhhh~ That's good to hear! :D I can't wait to see it. <3333

i have to say i would be disappointed without your critiques =/

if time is the issue though, i completely understand. if you really decide to stop then ill get by fine, but it was nice having you. its really up to you, and i'd hate to try to make you feel obligated, so yeah, what ever you decide on i guess i can live with.

i had not been aware of your site, whats it about? like just you, or some theme, or what?

Ahhh... that makes sense. Hmm, I think I may continue my critiquing, then, if that's the case. People should get critiques when wanted. Thanks, Ghost!

Am very sorry that I didn't get it up yet. An emergency family matter came up (along with school ending - officially ends next Monday) and I have to try to boost my grades as high as possible before the end of the year.
:iconshanree:
Well, since Ghost just informed me that non-subscribers don't get public announcing for wanting critiques, I think I may stick with it. ^^

It's still in work. It's going to be about what I do, where I'm heading (like as tiny chances you may actually see my face), and such. It'll include history about me, etc. I'm really making it for two reasons. One is because a lot of people tend to ask me questions and I figure it's easier if I lay it all out for them, and two so that I can organize my stuff.
