I don't seem to feel any hostility coming from you before. And getting into fights was not my intention. If it was anything at all, it was an earnest attempt to spark up a dialogue.

I hear you. That's one of the reasons why I don't give out my online handle here. I don't think anybody wants to be embarrassed by exposing their failures out there. There was one time, during my comic artist days, where somebody verbally trashed the art work I made for the book. It was embarrassing just to stand there and take it from a stranger. It was years ago and it still bugs me to this day.
But if that taught me anything at all, it made me realize that I like doing art more than I wanted to quit. I treat it as a good indicator that there's improvement to be done and I have to hop onto it.
I'm not even saying to go spread your artworks now. I don't think anybody wants to be told what to do.. Just saying, I understand it's a tough thing to feel vulnerable. But I hope you do realize that there's no shame in bombing. I think everybody here in this forum subscribes to that philosophy.
I sincerely hope you try to get into Paizo one day. Yeah, your artwork is still a bit rough, but I've got to hand it to you, flip this SB back 20 pages ago, I can honestly say you are a different artist now.
You know the resources to get you where you want to go. Treat this as my halftime speech to you, trying to keep you going.
Don't stop improving!
If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
