Recent Complaints

Month in Review: March 2010

One of the most important aspects of being an artist is being able to listen to criticism; especially if it’s negative. An artist should be mature enough to respect his critics and to use their complaints to grow as an artist. Tartlets, however, are not real artists; they just play them on the internet. That’s why they (As well as their fans who blindly follow them) – instead of acknowledging the flaws pointed out in our articles – react like children throwing tantrums.

This is what happens when an artist declares war on the truth.

It’s amazing how the artists and the artist’s fans think they could stop us from writing by simply insulting us and passing our reviews off as being mere flaming – unaware that their criticisms of our ability to criticize are no better than they claim ours to be!

jmillart, someone who really, really loves dogs, was so angered by our article on his work that he and his fellow dog-lovers began a spamming operation on the article’s comment section. He’s also taken it upon himself to warn our other “victims” when we “troll” them, despite the fact that we’ve already been doing that ourselves for the past months. After all, our purpose is to help Tartlets improve: Of course we’re going to give them the heads up when we mock their crap. But hey, if he wants to go ahead and do our work for us now, so be it!

brandy212, Tartlet for 2 years, has left the following message on her profile and put all her submissions into “storage”.

LilDevil92, whose fans have proven to be some of the most obnoxious people we have ever encountered, sent the following message after someone (Read also; “Us”) sent her a link to the DCQC article.

Later, she claims she had no intention of leaving, and that she’s here to stay.

Instead of taking our criticisms to heart and fixing their awful art, the aforementioned artists opted to whine and dismiss us as trolls (Or to outsource these whining duties to their fans), deeming our criticisms “invalid” so they can pass their errors off as deliberate “stylistic” choices. And so, they will continue to produce their low-grade content, and we will continue to laugh at their inability to produce aesthetically pleasing art. So, by all means: Feel free to ignore our criticism. We’ll still continue to dish it out, and to let others know to avoid your shameful displays like the plague.

We cut through the crap, so the rest of the Internet doesn’t have to.

    You start this out saying the following:

    “One of the most important aspects of being an artist is being able to listen to criticism; especially if it’s negative. An artist should be mature enough to respect his critics and to use their complaints to grow as an artist…”

    Yes, that’s true. Unfortunately, your criticism is not of the useful/constructive type that does any good; instead you’re just a flaming troll trying to break people down and spew worthless, aggravating, and annoying self-righteous garbage.

  • May I please point out, that there was not critique in there at all. Looking over my comments I feel that I said nothing angry or hateful and what has been said is true. I have notified a few notable places about copyright violations and still ask that you remove that article before this does become war, only I am the one defending the truth.

  • @jmillart: And have these “notable places about copyright violations” informed you yet that The Coalition’s works are protected by the “Fair Use” policy, and that your complaints have no merit [legal or otherwise]?

    ^ that

  • LOL

    hahaha… whoever made this article is contradicting himself. What makes you think that you’re doing constructive criticisms? Obviously all you are doing is just saying whatever you think regardless if it helps or not.

  • critisize my name pl0x desu!

    No seriously, it says: Cutting through the crap, so you don’t have to.
    Then,
    Why the hell are you showing us all the “crap” and “helpful critism”?? Shouldn’t you be showing the best of the best?? And all this bitching about “touchy people” is not interesting.

    Unfortunately, he forgot to mirror the watch on his wrist from http://www.metokur.org/devart/2010/03/19/hungover-like-the-wolf/

    ROFLMAO LOL HEEHEE HAHAAA
    If you can’t read the message behind the picture, don’t go all technical on it hahaa.
    Lemme show you how to read it: The artist wished to depict the person perhaps wishing himself to be a wolf? Maybe illustrating his ability to shapeshift into a wolf (Imagination people!) The mirror is just a tool to show his inner image? Why in the world do you need to care about the watch? o_0 If there was a detailed background, it will lose focus on the main part of the picture, The mirror could also be facing a wall so you can’t see the whole room. Why are you so worried about that?
    If you don’t like anthro its fine, Why are you insulting the artist in making a blank room?


    This almost makes me want to set up a website: Wordpress coalition for quality control, celebrate and insult trolling crap, because they deserve it.

    And I’ll feature you too! How complete nonsense this website is, tarnishing the name of online blogs and personal websites. How they constantly remind us not to be obnoxious, but they themselves believe to be the WORLD’S BEST ART JUDGE without even being artists themselves. What an amazing feat!

    They tell of being art critics, when they themselves do not understand art itself. Style is definitely part of art: Do you not agree?
    Oh no, but to them, art is cold hard math. It must be so uniform. Everyone must draw the same: same size of heads, same size of eyes, YOU MUST DEFINITELY NOT USE YOUR IMAGINATION AND GIVE US SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT, OUT OF THIS WORLD! It’ll suck no matter how much impact it has. You will be considered as shit trash no matter how hard you worked, you will just suck. How despicable their theory is. I must showcase this! Its is too exciting :D
    (yes i like smiley faces.)

    What is cool is that you could give the admin mona lisa and he will most skillfully say in a way that is most respectable, that it is complete utter rubbish and Da Vinci might as well kill himself, if he wasn’t dead already. Awwww.

    Instead of pointing out carefully and giving advice that will hopefully tell the person how to draw/colour/come up with cooler idea, the team goes on and on about how shitty the artist’s life is. Like hello thats not fucking helpful at all. If you think you are critics then you can go hang yourself. You fail at it.

    Maybe the contributors are just a whole bunch of people that fucked their mothers and got caught by their spouse which ended up in a divorce. All their work/school colleagues bully them about it and they have no where else to release their energy because they don’t have enough money to afford a psychiatrist. They can’t join in Deviantart because the people there are fun and creative. So they decide to make a pathetic devianart lookalike site to say: Hey we are cool we can insult people with absolute NO REASON! :B

    I look down in shame a these “critics” with their awful “helpful” comments. Keeping in mind I want to check back here and LOL at their sad pitiful “helpful advice/whatever they are writing” not even being capable of HELPING. Sad life :C

    This is helpful criticism, take it like a man.
    (I hope to see you guys featuring this! *Is excited*)

    @critisize my name pl0x desu!

    lol “how to read it” – stop coming up with excuses!
    if shouldve just left the watch completly out imo
    the guy dint paint anything in the room because he doesnt have the skill!
    if the mirror faced a wall then that would be one small room or just a boring empty room!
    im sorry bt everyone can tell the difference between good and shit and so far evry piece on this site is utter crap it has nothing to do with stlye etc. the artist simply needs to improve
    so far i have yet to see one good quality, well thought out piece of work to be critised on this site so your basically just being a drama queen when talking bout the mona lisa and da vinci

    “tell the person how to draw/colour/COME UP WITH COOLER IDEA”
    hes not their teacher lol.hes giving an opinion not a lesson. its up to the artist to imrpove their abilities to draw/colour etc
    oh and lol wtf is “come up with cooler idea” why should some be told how to do that!?!?
    should they also be told how to breathe a shit ?

    anyways at the end of the day you should just take it on the chin
    whats one persons opinion matter? let them have their voice, just like they let you comment on their critiques

  • critisize my name pl0x desu!

    Critiques are to point out mistakes and tell the person how to improve! Not opinions to say that you hate furries and take out your anger for furries on the artist.

    So what if i’m being a drama queen? Its fun, I like whining to these kinda people who deserve it.

    IF he doesn’t have the skill, then he couldn’t have done it right? Its not easy to draw a room in a mirror reflection along with the perspective. Yeah it would look more complete, but he didn’t do it, skill or no skill. Why do you need to insult him? Maybe he didn’t do it because it would look terrible and spoil the whole image? THINK DEEPER!

    So the work here isn’t completely fantastic, SHOW THEM HOW ITS DONE TO SATISFY YOUR STANDARDS!! If not you are not helping, then there no point of having this site in the first place to critique.

    You keep saying it. They need to improve. Improve is practice. And that what they’re doing! Why then discourage them from practicing if you want them to improve. Every great artist starts from somewhere.

    Drawing is not instinct. Creativity can be nurtured.

  • Nathan F

  • Artcat

    /sarcasm

  • Nathan F

    @Artcat

    You are so right, but don’t worry i am not mean or nasty. I appreciate great art when I see it. These artists pour their heart and soul into their work. Each and every artist has a unique vision and we should all respect them for that.

    I mean we can’t all be the next Matt Groening can we?

  • Artcat

    @Nathan F

    Did you NOT notice the “/sarcasm” at the end of the sentence?
    Or the reference to a post made on this site previously?
    Or the blatantly obnoxious usage of exclamation points and the number 1 at the end of the comment?
    God damn, you’re an idiot.

  • Nathan F

    @Artcat

    Oh you are so right, how stupid of me to not know what sarcasm is, i’m a real dummy…duuhhhhh!

    “/sarcasm”

  • Nathan F

    @Artcat

    Actually my response above yours was sarcasm as well, some I kind of got you first. And second of all if you knew me you’d know better not to refer to me as an idiot. I have an iq of over 1,500,67. You obviously have not tangled with the likes of me before.

    I am a member of both the CIA and FBI as well as the Men In Black, The Plumbers (no not the drain cleaning variety) and a former Kids Next Door operative. I was number 300.

    i am a master of deception, espionage, disguise, and self defense. I can also speak a multitude of different languages including English, French, German, Romanian, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Itallian, Turkish. I also speak various different animal languages including goat, squirell, dog, raccoon, bird, monkey, and cat. I also speak Pokemon language very well, also I speak several alien languages well including Klingon, Romulan, Gungan, Ewokese, Jawa, Huttese, Wookie, Na’vi, and even Martian.

  • Artcat

    @Nathan F (the 6:58 one)

    I know. I was number 301.

  • Nathan F

    Did I mention i also have connections with the mafia?

  • Jazz

    Now this is sad.
    You people really think you are giving constructive critism?
    Tsktsk, that leaves no doubt; you people need help.

  • Nathan F

    You didn’t see anything.
