My very first wallpaper was done completely in MSPaint. It took me nearly three weeks to complete as I was literally doing it line by line, almost pixel by pixel. Then I upload it and it was a hit. My last four or was it five, anyway ... they got as far as my personal page but the two previous, the one fractal and my first Halloween wall made the gallery. So I guess i average one decent one for every four. What the heck. People can still look at them if they want to. If they dl them fine, if not ... oh well. Ratings don't bother me. What I would like is a comment or two. Some criticism good or bad. Someone to say  ... well you could do this this way or try it that way or it just plain sucks try again. That's why i ask for comments. I'm still learning and looking to tap some brains.

I have been reluctant to join in here but will add my two cents worth. I, too find myself with a lot of time on my hands since losing my job.  I try really hard to only submit one wall a day as I do not think it is fair to bury everyone elses work with my submissions. Perhaps we all need to step back and take a closer look to quality instead of quantity. I do try to "wear" a wall for a day or so before foisting it onto the public and by doing so, find many flaws to correct and quite a few are shown to the recycle bin.  I will not address the ratings issue other than to say that all works here should be rated according to usabilty, quality and freshness, period. Personal issues should not fiqure into the equation.

Well I am one of those people trying to get my works exposed and that is exactly what is happening. Jazzi  ever since you became a Journeyman the quality of your work has taken a nosedive. I believe you have one goal in mind and that is to be the queen of wallpapers here at WC AND to see your name at the top instead of another artist who has commented here.

Your Bryce works are all terrible. If I submitted anything like that you can be sure it would be refused on the public pages. That goes for your fractals also, If I submitted what you are submitting they would not be accepted. I am sure this childish game you are playing IS affecting artists, like me, who are striving to get to the next staus.

Supposedly, as Master Apprentice I am "in line" to become a Journeyman. What A joke. I no longer have that same feeling because a few of the last journeymen over the past months have done the same. Their work has gone down in quality with scenes I can replicate in 15 minutes using the same plug-ins and filters. I am busting my ass here and you and others like you are making it all a joke and that is not right. WebGizmos you are all too right!

Clean your monitor or get some new glasses. I was waiting for this too happen, in fact I knew this was going to backfire in your face, but t heir yu have it. This is what the community thinks of your latest works.

JAZZI I have been suffering from Chronic Lower Back Pain for 6 years now. I have multiple herniated discs and take all kinds of med, on permanent disability due to a work related accident. On top of that I am in remission from Cancer, (3 years) and I presently suffer from PTSD and Major Depression. Don't start with the sympathy card it just doesn't sit right with me. I have never submitted something I do not wear on my screen and if I am in that much discomfort, I leave it and go lie down. 

G-D has given you the gift of being able to produce nice art when you want. Why are you not using it? People here would go out of their way to help, and have, and yo have snubbed them, each and every time. Sometimes one should be weary before asking questions. I am truly sorry you had to go through this but in MHO,  IT WAS HIGH TIME!               

I have tried numerous times with this person. She has told me, in no uncertain ways, to F off. SHe has even reported me foe even making a comment

You know in life you reap what you sew and Renee has sewed a lot of bad seeds. I can understand from your point of view but there is a lot of history between us. Including hateful spiteful e-mails on her part. She even carried it over to Deviant Art where I had to block her from my site. So there is always background you need to check. I would probably have posted something similar to what you did and I do respect your opinion, but I don't seem to be the only one with that opinion. But are you sure you are not just being protective. Contact a mod? For what to be asked if I am not just being jealous? No thank you. I eat my pill and continue my art.

I never leave comments and I very rarely rate her works, but it is affecting me anyways. And that is what I was addressing. I read from the start and thought about all the comments and what you see is spontaneous, Do I wear my heart in my sleeve, maybe.

It seems like any and all threads with 'ratings' in the title should auto-delete.

Perhaps the Coding Pidgeons can set that up.
