Artbook Commenting Y/N?

barrington · 25-06-2004, 10:54 AM

Loads of people seem to have jumped into the Artbook thing but nobody's posting in the gallery itself.

Do you want to let people comment in your artbook so you can receive praise or would you prefer just to leave it as a place to store your images uncluttered?

Nah, keep it nice and clean... only if its possible to have a second table below it, so the owner of the artbook is allways above, for updates and stuff.

An artist always appreciates constructive criticism, so yes, I would like to be commented on. As long as they're good

Well Mandy followed the guidelines and posted two artbooks, so that one could be commented on, the only problem/annoyance I see is that it would be a pain to keep them both up to date. If the members wanted a portfolio just for their artwork etc wouldn't it be better for them to put a webpage together and then just have one art thread on here each?

if people really like your work, or want to add something they would PM you...
its not that i dont want critics or comments, but it keeps the portfilio nice and clean...

Yeah, comments. Like someone pointed out, it would be hard to keep both up to date, and it makes one of them completely random because if you look at the member artbook, you're not gonna go look at the same stuff, and vise versa. If that made any sense to begin with.

I thought that this is why Baz told us to post them once in the portfolio and once in the gallery???
