Okay, I saw this around. In the Comics forum, but sometimes also in GA. Seriously, is that really necessary? Of course, it is easier to go to a topic and post "it sucks" or "you fail" instead of giving helpful advice and help the person improve. When you view something there, it's never the final stage of improvement. No matter whether the artwork/comic/story is by a famous writer/artist/comic maker or by a starter. There's always room for improvement. People just need time. You can help them by telling them what they should focus on, and give them tips if you have any. Or you can go around and tell them that their work is awful. Of course you can, it's easier and faster than writing a review. But it hurts the other person's feelings. Or it might make him/her give something up entirely, even though they might be talented. Would you really want that? "I can't write reviews" or "I can't draw/write/make comics" That's okay, you don't have to. But I've experienced that every person can say something helpful about art. Take my mum for example. She can not draw herself, but she always spots things that could be improved on. I can't make comics, but I can still tell whether a sprite is oddly placed or not. A one-or-two-semtence post can be helpful as well. Something like "These comics are okay. You could do something about the grammar, though" is not hard to write, and gives the person criticised at least an idea of what could be done. Long reviews are nice, but not necessary. Get 5 two-sentence posts, and you might be able to figure what really should be done. "Reviews take long to write" As said above, you don't have to write long, in-depth reviews. Just don't be too unfriendly. "But what if it REALLY sucks?" Euh. 1) Keep in mind that usually the person posting their work wants to hear opinions. Yes, you don't have to be all happy-cheerful and say "Awesome" to every thing you see, but you don't have to be harsh. If you state that 'you don't like it, but that is your opinion', then it is okay. 2) Check the person's profile for the age. You can't expect an 11-year-old to make comics like an 18-year-old. 3) Remember, you're criticising the work, not the one who did it. Nobody's perfect. Thanks for your attention, Taka Nuvia

... because I have stuff to do for a school project. And prepare a presentation >< Also, I haven't answered some of my pms/comments yet, and I'm sorry 'bout that. ~Taka Nuvia

Okay. I wanna say sorry. Sorry for not telling you where I have been the last days. On the weekend we went to our holiday "residence" (seriously, big old house with big garden in the middle of... nowhere. No internet, no telephone but lots of wood and trees ). Yesterday I got hit by a horrible headache, and therefore could not get on. So. Now you know.

.... it was awesome. I love Italy, you can find so much stuff with skulls and spikes there <3 my mum got me an awesome T-shirt with the Grim Reaper on it, along with a necklace, a spiked bracelet, a belt with a skull... yush. But, I have to say, I really missed you people. What's new with me: ~ I gotz new dark stuff (yay) ~ I finished chapter 7 of my epic (which will be up soon) ~ I finally figured how I'll have my epic end ~ I have drawn a few things ~ Strangely, I've also drawn a mass of stuff which I just can't show on Bzpower or elsewhere o.0 (don't ask what was wrong with me, I really dunno) ~ My skin is slightly tanned (right term?) What I need to find out: ~ How did AC#17 end? ~ How did you people do? ~ What did I miss? ~ Whom did I miss? ~ Is there any topic (art, comic, whatever) you want me to post in? Taka and out

This time for a full week. It's time for Italy vacation again! So, tomorrow we'll get up at 3:00 A.M., and then we'll go. See you Bzpower ^^
-
... from Sunday to Thursday. This is not my week in Italy, this will follow aftrerwards. But on Thursday I'll be here, scanning my entry for AC 17 and posting it. Even though there's a high chance that I won't be here when the voting takes place.... ah well. ^^ EDIT: Just found out that today'S the 22nd No AC17 for me EDIT of the EDIT: There's still hope
-
... I feel so sorry now. I feel sorry for all those who requested drawings from me once. Why? Well, I had them stored in a seperate folder (the pms), and since the Bzpower data crash didn't affect my pm inbox, I didn't care about it much. But today? I looked into it to see what I still have to finish - and it's all cleared! There's nothing left! Therefore: I deeply apologize for not being able to do any of my old requests. I feel so miserable now. ._.

... my mum wants to reduce my Computer time again What means I won't be able to get online much. Looks like the sad times have started approaching again... just waiting in the dark to cover the mind with velvet wings, and to make the body numb and emotionless... oh yay ++NEWS++ I got only my computer GAME time reduced! Which means I won't play The Sims2 as much, but still have time for the forums ^^
-
Ta-Daa! BTW, I had a look at my older comics - oh my god, they looked awful! All squashed faces n'stuff... I'll try to keep the newer ones in a more advanced style.
-
... chapter 3 is up! But sadly no-one seems to have recognised
-
Phew. So I got this shiny new (black) netbook for my birthday. And what do I do? Sit down in the garden and -finally- start writing down Taka Nuvia's life story. In German. Then I think "Why not put it on Bzpower?" So I translate it. 973 words is the 1st chapter long. great, huh? Took me some hours. Wanna see the result? (Bet ya don't ) Go here, have fun.

... start again with a brand new name and I succeed into infinity ...or something like that, if I recall the lyrics right Aaanyways: yes, now it's official: I has a new name!
