Tuesday, a moron called SpringBirdy at Renderosity.
Today a moron at CG Talk.

I posted the Pina Coladas pic over there. Since most are professionals over there,
it takes guts or lack of brains to post something there.  They are perfectionists
there and many hate Poser artists.
So far I have 437 views and 7 comments.

Check this out from someone called " bigbad" :
-------------------------------------
Is this supposed to be funny?!

I´m sorry but I dont get this kind of humor.
Seen other stuff you did and didnt like it at all.
What inspires you to do things like this?

Not beeing a bad guy here.
-------------------------------------

Perhaps not being a bad guy, but I think that he is being a big pr*ck about it.
Who puts this in a public forum ?
I never bothered to look at how amazing an artist or modeller he is,
because I don't care.

This sort of thing is getting to be more and more ....

These little p*eckerheaded weiners that hide behind their PC's and think
that they're so tough, so big and bad, make me laugh !           

I replied to a comment by someone else prior to this one.  I also answered the
question.

You know what ever happen to be different?Now I know what you are going to say Den but really.I mean looking at charlie brown isn't my idea of pro work, but I liked it.The christmas seen where they look at the scrubby little tree and they say, "It's not such a bad tree."We think we are getting purfect and still people are running into a global break down because we compete all the time.Instead of saying well I never thought of that idea.Den Tracy did it and its forever yours Den.They can't take the idea away,so they hurt and punch and wish instead of that little spark that you do to give them life,personality and make them talk.All they do is nothing or make one pose and say I bought this and the credit goes to bla bla blaa.While the truth of the matter is I (meaning the other guy) can't do squat.I (meaning the other guy) just push a button and BHAM!Instant gratification.So while we (meaning us, the underdogs) are doing the unthinkable.They ( meaning the Unartist) are giving people
like us a hard time.I like this and you among probably others no this line and please feel free to say it out loud with me.Ready! WE THE WILLING, LEAD BY THE UNKNOWING, HAVE BEEN DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE UNGREATFUL FOR SO LONG, THAT WE ARE NOW QUAILIFIED TO DO SOMETHING WITH LITTLE OR NOTHING AT ALL! Screw Em. Have a nice day Den.

Look at it this way. It's his problem that he doesn't have any humour. I understand why ppl can offer construktiv critism if they feel that something can be improved. But to say i saw your image and i didn't get it or like it is pretty pointless. I mean what's the point of that?

Thanks TdaC and Kenny.

I just don't know what it is. I don't look for trouble, but people
seem to be intent on pushing my buttons. I wouldn't be surprised if SpringBirdy
and bigbad are the same person. He apparently does modelling in Maya.
I looked at what he has produced. He can make models, but he can't do what I do...

...and that is make people laugh, remember or remind them of something or say,
"I would never have thought of that"

It boils down to jealousy and insecurity.  I know that I can do some things better than
others and I also know that there are others who can do things better than I.
I think that we here, on this site do a remarkable job with basic things and that bothers
other people more than anything !

To the artists here.....
 

I can't understand why those people need to write a comment, when I don't like a picture simply don't leave a comment...

Well Den! In my country "bigbad" it's a slang for a anatomy part that can be big but not works! The guy perhaps has problems with it!

I opened Posetteforever when the "banner and commercials" time began on another forum because I needed a place to talk in peace without watching those kind of things. Here there isn't smell of money so I don't think that there are so many people jealous of what we do here, but it could be. We are also a little community ( I like to think at it like a smurfs or elfs little town into a forest... ) so I don't really think that there are people who could hate us or our works, but it could be. However I have to admit that I never had that kind of "enemies", so I don't know what would be my reactions... Probably i would reply "if you don't like it don't look at my pictures"

Sorry for the joke Tormie! But I can't control! Love Den's work,  your work and the the other people who post here's works. I neve see a bad quality work in this site.

Don't worry Jan , I replied directly to Den's post , it was not a reply to your post, sorry for the misunderstanding   !!

Don't worry! Be happy!

A day later and I looked in at CG Talk  because there was a comment.
696 views so far. That is hard to believe on a site where professionals
make movie segments, models for movies and other things would even bother
to look at an old song put into illustration, done in Poser, by me !

I have never gotten more that 400 views for anything, anywhere. My P2-(Older Asimo Robot)
has almost 500 over there.
This makes me feels good, but at the same time sad, that these two were practically
rejected on the Poser sites.
That is another reason why I will not be posting to other sites very,very  soon.
Why bother if nobody is looking, elsewhere ?
I was at Renderosity a few minutes ago, and was looking in the Comics section where
I have my story. I have comments and rankings disabled and wanted to see how they were doing.
A pic that is neither a  comic or cartoon got over 70 hits in one minute when I looked aty a few pix and returned to the gallery.
I have no use for people who go in an pretend that everyone is looking at their masterpiece, when
it is themselves looking at their own pic with another identity.
You can't make a pic any better by looking at it yourself and pretending that everyone
is really looking at it.  
How lame is that ?

I agree Den.I to sometimes get this way.I try to do something different and really I get myself.It seems sometimes your the only one and nobody will even give you a pat on the back for even the least bit of the effort.I did get a atta boy by someone today for a post out there.It made me feel good.But others go by hitting on it and just don't get what I'm doing.I guess I'll have to move on to the year 4006 and see what kind of scifi I can do from there. Take care Den and I'm with you bud.

I was thinking about this. The people who called themselves Poser Artists seems to possess a preconception against Den's or TdaC works that other people don't have. I believe that they are frustrated beucase after have spent a lot of money with the last Vicky or Mike model and their cloths and props, you haved make a much better work.    Other people only matters to see good art, they don't care if it maked with the lastest model but only want to see a good work. And yours works are excellent!

Places like Renderosity are nothing more than commercial geeks paradises, they pander thier wares
and feel all members should conform to the status quoe.
There seems to be less room for individuality in the 3D world anymore.
However you can`t please everybody and Renderosity, rotica are no exception.
they started out nice and were over ran by commercailisms, I don`t even bother with the free stuff
from such sites...to make a long story short.
Just keep doing what you`re doing Den, and nevermind, the narrow minded people, of the narrow minded street.
