Ignored boxartist

[frenchboy1]

It likes the underrated boxartist thread. I just noticed some who are ignored in spite of there are good, or great :
-Me ! (frenchboy1)
-thecodemaster
-ElectricDynamite
-Destroyer
-IceFox
-Lovekuja
And some other that I didn't talked about. I know, a lot of people here prefers leave comments on crappy boxes and awesome boxes than good, decent or great boxes but our work isn't respected perfectly. I took 2 or 3 hours or more on some boxes for 6 comments or 3 coments. I'm not alone in this state. I see Twilight's, wickedgamer's, finalfantaseer's and other's boxes got around 30 or 40 comments. I didn't said they done a decent work (they're awesome ) but it should be the same thing with other members...


I feel desesperate...

we already have a thread for this, you were actually one of the last people to comment on it.

[Moogle]

Aye. No matter how many threads are made about this /nothing/ will change. Just make boxes for fun and dont worry on whether you get 1 or 40 comments. I mean really, you should be making these for fun not for comments. If your proud of your work that should be enough eh?

Vengeance : we already have a thread for this, you were actually one of the last people to comment on it.

There is a difference between "under-rated" and "ignored"...

Yes, I agree with you on that point but It make me sick when I see people don't give a shit about my boxes. I make them for fun. Yes, but I tell you what happened when I was yoman44 (when I was a beginer) : I posted a lot of boxes a day (around 4 or 5) I made them for fun and don't care about comments. Everybody hated me. I decided to put more effort on my boxes and now I'm better but I'm feling desesperate to see how my boxes are considerate...

don't worry.
you know what will be great?
if you keep on making boxes, and keep on improving how much you are right now, and then, one day, you will make the epic box[ *epic music* ], which will be over-commented,over-faved,and overly loved.


well, that's how i like to see it at least.

If you want to be more positive. The least comments the better, because everyone is staring in "awe" and think they arent worthy are commenting.
Joking of course. xDD

Recently, I had to ask myself why I make boxarts. I mean, what's the point? At first, I thought I do it for personal enjoyment, but I don't. Then I thought about my satisfaction at making a decent box - that's all fine, but to know if I've actually made a good piece of work through other people's eyes, I need other people to look at the boxes and tell me what they think about them. I was so disappointed by the response for my four-hour work on my latest box, Clive Barker's Jericho, that I posted the design on DeviantArt to try and get some more comments. Also, it's one of the only boxes that I've ever updated to a newer version, purely because I was sure that it was one of my best ever, but I needed more comments to feel more sure about it.

If this site isn't about giving comments, I don't think I'll post any of my work here. At least people should give me a sign that they saw my boxes. Especially my Wii-Love to cook box. I feel great for that 9.5 out of 10, but I feel that that's the only person who looked at the box. Could you guys check it out? I worked really hard on it. (and please show some signs of life in my nfs Carbon movie box art)

Well, before I got my HoF box, my boxes were greatly ignored.

An example: My Assassin's Creed Limited Edition box. There were 10 comments, in which 4 were mine. I was greatly disappointed, as I worked a long time figuring on the layout, and I tried to make it look greatly different than the ones on the site. I appreciated the favs, but most of them who faved did not comment. A fav is my main priority, but the comments are the much-needed extra for critiques and such.

I hope people would take the time to comment on some of my ignored boxes, and not to mention these people:

-Ayron
-Ervo
-thecodemaster
-Vengeance
-alldreamsfalldown
-Ricardo
-Destined Reality

[alldreamsfalldown]

Thanks for the recognition ElCrazy but I feel i'm getting a little more notice these days. *Woot!*

[Ayron]

couldn't have said it better!.

Thanks elcrazy, but with especially you and Ervo having 1 and 0 HoF boxes, makes me feel a bit overrated, which is kinda affecting my work.

[Ervo]

I'm pretty much ignored. I think. Working on my boxes a lot and getting 5-10 comments is pretty annoying :P

Yes, some of your boxes are ignored. But when people decided to comment yours... you got a lot !

[Roboross]

I'm sure everybody on this site feels ignored to some level.

I never said anything about talent.

Frenchboy claimed that IceFox is an ignored boxartist yet he is the 34th highest viewed artist.. to be ignored is defined as other people having a lack of knowledge about you. I don't think that really defines what IceFox is, does it?

i was merely explaining the fact that the most viewed artist page has nothing to do with being a good or a bad artist.
