you ever heard of i put maybe 5 mins top into any of these that Ive posted on here...
So, you started this thread by saying that most people's images look like something you would be ashamed to spend more than 10 minutes on, then you go ahead and spend less than 10 minutes on all of your entries?

yea you seen [sic] to be effected [sic] by it... I make money constantly through my art abilities... I am a mutli award wining [sic] artist... so I guess I have ran [sic] into the bias of unskilled people to [sic] often?
Your argument, then, is that you are a good artist because some individuals enjoy your work? Isn't that what you're bashing on me for? The simple fact that people have complimented me on some of my old battle images?

get in on the game you wanna talk ****, because If you read my whole post you would see I said all that to instigate a battle and nothing else...
The point of my reply was to communicate to you, in a way that would hit home, that your trash talk came off as extremely hostile and insulting. When this part of the forum was active, it was a place where people would come to get constructive criticism and improve their work. There was some friendly trash talk, sure, but nothing like the stuff you started off this thread spouting.

...so in response to your holiness opinion on nothing...

...lets do what a biology nerd would do to make it a unified composition!

...yea thats how I see your battles...

...them blowing smoke up your ass homie does not make you knowledgeable or make me respect your opinion...
You seem to have really fixated on trying to insult me. Why?

It's clear you don't like my images, I'm fine with that. You've brought up this problem that you have with the use of various textured overlays (diagonal lines, grids, etc.), and it seems to me that you're insinuating that all of my old images used them. Did you look at all of my old stuff, or did you look through a page or two of one of my (first) battles? You don't know me or my work, sir, though it appears that you think that you do.

I never claimed to be a great artist, though you assume that I fancy myself one because you read through a few compliments that the arena members gave me on a few images. I don't do this for a living, I (used to) do it as a hobby. If it helps you sleep better at night, know that I don't believe I'm anything special.

please dont get offended for real about anything i have said im really REALLY am just doing it to stir up the bee hive per say...
Once again, you said some pretty gnarly stuff to Zac, then you say don't take it personally?

90% of his posts are in the arena... this is a training website how is that contributing?
I'm sorry that our little corner - or what was our little corner - of FK doesn't fit into your perception of what FK is as a whole. However, if you talk to any of the guys that were active here from 2004-2006 or so, they'll tell you that we each played a big role in improving each other's abilities. If that isn't contributing to the role of FK as a place to develop skills, then I don't know what is.

I realize that you didn't enjoy having someone say that they didn't like your work, no one likes that, so I apologize. I logged in last night for the first time in over a year to find that some guy was bashing what we used to have quite a bit of fun doing here, and I got a little grouchy. You should recognize that the things I said to you were really no different than what you said in your initial post to the entire arena.
