I Said Dick, Hurr Hurr.
A bit tired of assholes stomping all over newbie folks over on MTF. Look, just because you don't like something or think it's not done well doesn't give you the right to waltz in to their thread and proclaim it as shit. This is not constructive criticism. This is called being a fecking asshole. Now, stating your dislikes ("Oh that border is too strong", "The perspective is off, should be like this...") is fine and reasonable. Got pointers to improve them? Even better.
Don't assume because you have an account it gives you license to walk in to first timer's threads, dick in hand and start jerking off.
Lastly, I tweaked a few things in the CSS and also neatened up the side part, because I felt it had far too much going on. Also added a little "Hire me" blerb, hint hint, nudge nudge. Comments open for this ranty sort. Whoops, I deleted last five comments by accident!
Update
Because I can't reply to the locked thread, I'll reply here.
Being new here (or first post) doesn't reflect ones Photoshop skills nor doesnt mean you have to lie to someone, just to keep the peace. If someone is brave enough to post an art of some sort here, he should be brave enough to recieve the critic.
Me and everyone else are not asking people like Gloaming to lie. There's a monumental difference between stating what you dislike about a piece of art and flat out saying 'Shit sucks' which is basically what people are doing.
Being an asshole is not being critical, it is in fact being an asshole.

I don't remember exactly what was said, but I know the gist was I was jerking off on circus clowns and getting highly paid for it. Aren't you glad I'm your girlfriend? Either way, I like it when you're ranty.

I cry conspiracy theory!!
I just agreed with you. I've always felt that MTF doesn't do a good job with nurturing upcoming artists. They really are slack with what qualifies as critique and what qualifies as being mean.
I'll standing next to you, although I wish you'd take a shower before battle.

It makes me miss Elitist Jerks, they have the best moderation of any board I know. Lazy grammar and caps? Infraction. Flame? Infraction. Asshole? Infraction. Off-topic? Infraction. Purposely obtuse? Infraction.
It was wonderful and public, meaning it either made offenders embarrassed and improve their posting or sass a mod and get banned.

This Elitist Jerks theory sounds like an idea.
Glad to see you're Sudding again in tandem, RP.

Definitely shower before battle, lovee. Please?
