I'm sorry you feel this way. I thought people would be happy with the idea that they are competing with the best available competition on the base.
especially because I've seen some other really amazing drawings in that contest and he's still won.
Was there a contest that this happened? Please by all means link me up to this contest.
But I feel like he almost wins out of default
This is not true, as we all know that I lost last August and quite frankly, i did my best on that contest and I still lost which only prove that I had to continue working on my weaknesses and difficulties.
Again sorry if I turn out to be a nuisance here in NB. I just thought I'd contribute to the activity of NB in my own way by sharing my artworks and it's the only way I know how.
You're not really a nuisance. I don't think I made it clear enough how much I actually like your art and have drawn inspiration from it before. It's not as if I dislike you for being good.
Also, art and beauty are entirely based on opinion. I know it's cliche, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So sometimes I'll see drawings that, sure, I like better than yours, but that doesn't mean other people will always agree with me.
I think you're talented and I really like your work, so sorry if I offended. u_u
