That's not pushing anyone away at all. Most authors on WC also have other accounts elsewhere they can use to disseminate their work. I myself have my own gallery on dA, as well as some other sites. It's a great way to expose one's talents to a wider audience.

dA has an extremely large user base and while you're not likely to have *everyone* on there checking out your work, it's mere availability to that user base makes it a worththe time.
WC, on the other hand, has a great close-knit community feel you just won't find on dA that is great to be part of and make your "home-base".

Valuable 2cents.   

A few people have pulled that stunt. Quite a few since I have been coming here. And some were members a lot longer than Phoenix's modest 1.5 months, with more uploads, who knew better. The gentleman's English isn't exactly perfect, so who knows how well he understands it, but in the thread he posted on the 8th announcing what he did and why..unless I am missing it..no one bothered to tell him why he shouldn't do it. It went from walls to objectdock to icons and how multiple versions should be uploaded.

Don't know what's going on. Maybe it's a full moon. Can we cut him some slack?

I come down on the side of 'not liking it'.

There's always a nagging dissatisfaction with things in 'landscapes' that are physically 'wrong', and in a wallpaper that is constantly stared at by people in moments of 'writers' block', etc. these 'errors' will detract to the point that the wall is sent to the recycle bin.

Two issues. You won't see 'stars' quite so low on a horizon, not when trees, etc imply an atmosphere, and shadow reflections [mirroring] on the water should bear some resemblance to the location of the objects being reflected.

Now if my criticism is because I studied Rendering and Sciagraphy in Architecture all those years ago [which requires the accurate [mathematical] generation of realism in perspective, etc., or because I'm an opinionated slob who maybe just hates blue, that's open to interpretation/debate...;)

It's superficially an OK wall.  It's neither too busy nor immediately distracting, however the 'errors' will likely guarantee it will not stay on a person's desktop for very long...;)

We're not in the habit of publicly discussing who disliked what and why with regards to wallpaper moderation and, yes, at times it can be odd and/or hypocritical or confusing, but by and large there is more than sufficient agreement for a submission's fate that it's not a one-man crusade....;)

I schould work hard that i come in mane gallery.... no thk



Thk Po' Smedley



Funny its now on personal page that i dont have and no one can see it. Better you have delete it(same that now)...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Is ppl prefer works like this:

[Links removed - Admin]

In main gallery and not like my then i forget nothing here.

About the stars really you think i dont know it? It was so conceived... About shadow reflections i put to much blur.... It was so conceived too. I wished to load my wall into a category Fantasy but have casually put in Abstract.

PhoeniXLegenda ....it's OK to want to openly discuss what is right and/or wrong with your own work/s but it is inappropriate to link to others' works thus drawing them into your debate....;)

 

Conception is only half of the process....the other being reception.

The moderators have indicated that this specific image was not particularly well received.  Perhaps your next conceptualizing will strike a more receptive note...;)

Create your site
Wincustomize: Personal Sites
Personal Page Elite

Follow this links and you could create your personal page here and then using the link given earlier for the Personal page elite you could show it to everyone here and get some feedback from the community anyway.

Here my wall that i sure 1 star work and come on my invisible page:



So i dont need to upload it....

Btw how help me to creat personal page no one look by me thats why i dont see any reasons...

And btw sry my english bad

Your English is fine. 

I wouldn't use that wall . . but someone might.  And so what if they do not?  You made it for you and then you shared with us.  The sharing is extra.

Do you have a question about the fist link in reply 33?  At a minimum, give it a title and you will have a site.

The recent poll said that everyone wanted tighter moderation. I personally thought that was a mistake. Here is the result. I think it was a decent wall, but that is just one more opinion.

I guess you mean no one will go on your personal page so you don't see any reason to create one and you asked why we would help to create one so...

Well, as i said in a reply before you are not alone many of us even masters when they was only citizen/apprentice or master apprentice had some of their walls put in their Personal Pages.

My only councils would be create your page then linked the wall in the Personal Page Elite Tread.

Then Keep skinning and create things you like, keep share them with us, Take a part in the community with skins, forums post, maybe some articles where you'll explain how to do things for the beginners.

Then wait and enjoy been here.

With time, some work and a good attitude you'll see

When i begun here i was a citizen with an english that Zubish could be pass for academic trust me or better look at my first posts here
With work on my english, on my skills i make a little place for me in this awesome community.
Now almost 1 1/2 year later my personal page (what you need to know) has been visited 329009 times so it make it 57th in the top.
SO you see people visite them.

The edit did not work so Ill add this:

The first stunt was a no no for sure, but merely suggests the need for education more than anything else. His first attempt at submitting deserves the benefit of the doubt it seems to me as it really only shows that he wants to share his work with the community. It takes a bit of time to learn to do that properly.

With these space-related scenes....take a wander over to http://www.artofgregmartin.com 

It'll give you some inspiration...;)

"Typically that is not done. You can be sure that the moderators are fair and balanced. "

Like Fox News!   

I see his works its so cool but what about me it my 1 space wall and i work only 3 month with photoshop with time i know i will be better and i hope it.

I'm sure everyone hopes the same thing for you, too.

With that in mind it's therefore helpful to have critical comment, and to also accept that what may be early days is actually a starting point on the road to better things...and the ratings/comments as applied bear testament to that....;)

After i make personal page nothing changed. Dunno what now...

Your personal Page is available here now:

http://phoenixlegenda.wincustomize.com/

Click on the Gallerie link in the menu above your profile

http://phoenixlegenda.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx

as you can see you wall can be watch from there. So everyone who will visite your Personal Page could see it.

With half of the stuff that gets through to the main gallery..from cut and paste heroes and logos to a 'plethora' of fractals (which seems to be the 'new' Bryce in as far as the gallery's on a lot of sites being bombarded with them) I just don't get why his wall did not make the main gallery.

Artistic license. His interpretation. How do you fault the reality of stars being 'to low' on the horizon and not go after "Those are not Fairy wings. They're too insect like." or "Trolls are bigger and browner. And they have horns."

And then to suggest that the errors a person points out will have people deleting it..I don't know.

I realize we don't 'normally' discuss things like this when it comes to walls. And I won't drag it out any further after this, but there is a lot of Bryce/3D work that could just as easily be picked apart..and there is just a lot of crappy cut and pastes and things that are technically rips that get by as fan art or fair use...I stand by what I said to begin with. I think his wall deserved to make the main gallery. Nothing personal, but it seems kinda trivial to even bring up a few stars in the trees.



Perhaps it was. I was hoping it would be directed more at the cut and paste stuff of other peoples hard work without so much as a reference or credit and the logos on some slapped together background.

It seems to be in the main library.  

i guess if a person whines enough...........

actually, this thread should have been locked and deleted at the outset. where this wall goes should not have been open for public debate.
