Awesome. The word is Awesome.

And they are, actually. I wish my stuff had looked like that at 14.

I use 'dictionary.com' frequently. It's a wonderful site, that needs to be used by the masses, and isn't.

I do believe, this is a forum for posting
art work. It's for criticism. However, if your going to criticize everything
i post on this website save for my artwork, then just don't.


I do believe you are referring to my comment... which wasn't
even directed at you... unless you have more than one user ID.
But even if it had been, if you are going to post in a public forum,
be prepared for criticism in every area. As for grammar, I married
a copy editor, so grammar is one of my big things. It’s IMPORTANT
to be able to use our language correctly in speech and writing,
and anytime you are typing on a web forum, there are tools
that can help you.


And I’m NEVER unkind about anyone’s art, unless they ask me to be.

What's with the dictionary flaming? lol. A comment is a comment, no matter how you speel iet, lol. Anyway, good stuff, Khan! Your anatomy is pretty good for your age, and it's nice to see someone your age doing their rough work! I teach art classes for kids and teens, and almost all of them drop the rough work and opt to do poor, poor renditions of spongebob, lol. Anyway, I'd love to see more, maybe you could try throwing some really kick back side shadows on your next endeavour. Take care!

And I always thought flaming referred to a mean-spirited act of ad hominem,
and I was just trying to help someone showcase their opinion without
their grammar detracting form their credibility.

Laughing-Out-Loud. That's funny, Grey. I'm going to have to tell my
wife that. I'm picturing guys in SWAT gear using a giant Chicago
Manual of Style
as a riot shield!

Hey,
Any of you guys remember someone named Khantali? I believe he posted some art, looking for feedback? Does grammar really matter so much that we'd rather drown out a young prospect looking for pointers?

No... but I'd be remiss if I did not point out that the grammar discussion had died out until you brought it up.
