Jekyll 'n Hyde inside my mind, who shall I be, I cant decide......
Published on November 5, 2009 By Vampothika In Community

I would like to post my distaste to recent comments on my master skin Saboteur.  Calling my work "not master skin quality" is below the belt. Especially when it is a drive by comment and the skin has not even been downloaded. 

I think if you are going to comment on any skin, it should be at least downloaded and tested before inacurate comments and assumptions are made.

 I personally believe that if you have nothing constructive to say about a skin, then please say nothing at all.

I spend many weeks and hours on every skin I do.  I pour passion, talent, and knowledge into them. They are tested in every possible way that a skin can be tested, and only then is it submitted. The same goes for cursors, icons, and any matching accessory I make.

I can handle criticism, but only if it is constructive, and accurate based on the downloading of the skin itself.

Not really.  At this point in time the dollar is worth about nothing.

What a palaver....

You're not speaking your mind; you're parroting what somebody told you to say.  We all know you and some other fanboys are just delivering a message that somebody wants to deliver because he's been warned, so he's sent his pack of dogs in to bite at Kitty's ankles because she didn't stand up for one of his other fanboys in a different thread.  This is really pathetic. 


Yes...I agree...it's really pathetic....your whole ugly diatribe...

You know Karen...I purchased vStyler's entire collection of masterskins for you...after reading your comment that you couldn't afford to buy skins...and you could 'only read about other people enjoying their toys they had downloaded'....I felt for you...you were showing enthusiasm and some individualism in your skinning....so I purchased them all...except for Odyssey, as I didn't think it would be up your alley...so vStyler threw that in himself,  and I asked him to pm you the links anonymously.  I read your reply to him...and was glad it had given you such a lift.  I thought you were shaping up to be an interesting new skinner...and worthy of encouragement and that pulling apart some top notch skins, that you apparently had no access to purchasing, would help you along.
You have also benefited from his skinning expertise...which is always given out to skinners...generously.  He has helped you in the forums....with advice and critique...made a start menu and texture to help you on your way with one of your skins......so, to spew out that unfounded venomous diatribe....is profoundly disappointing........sounds like you're doing some 'parroting' of your own...      Sadly, your skinning will hold no interest for me in the future...

"It's not master quality" isn't contructive; it's just an opinion, and it shows that you don't have the skills necessary to determine what is a master skin and what isn't.


and you have more expertise in these matters to judge that, than Tom?      that's very funny...
and yes...it is an opinion....and one he, and anyone else, has the right to express.

If I go shopping for an outfit.....I have every right to check it out in the window...decide if I like the style/colour etc....and observe if it is made to my satisfaction before purchasing it.  If I go into the shop and say to the owner, after closer inspection...but before trying it on....I don't particularly like the stitching and the finishing on this article....she doesn't spit back at me....'what would you know...you're not a dressmaker'.......The masterskin is a whole different ball game from a freebie...you have to take criticism...offer answers back to potentional customers...in short...be professional....not treat the place like a schoolyard...and go running to the teachers because you thought the boys weren't fair....which is really...what this whole post amounts to.

There is not one nasty comment in that gallery to have justified all this crap, especially when you look at some of the comments in times gone by....there was detailed critique & personal opinion.....so...best to just take that on board and move on without the drama....  

(and basically i didnt think it had to be done, but now i know it does, ill be doing it)

i do feel like a bit of an ass not even recognizing this sooner and giving credit to brushes

so...you're seriously trying to say that you had no idea that it is wrong to pass other people's work off as your own, especially after all the years at this site..

Actually, I don't find that hard to believe at all. Can't walk around being smart all our lives... We 're all all act like idiots in quite a huge lot of situations during our lifespan.

Some still don't get it, intentionally or not. 

People can criticize skins, it's the coordinated effort "behind the scenes" that is the problem.

It's all Skinhit's fault, I tell ya!  HE'S the one to blame.

I would like to note that all you get in the download is the .wba file.  I can't find any related content.  If there are supposed to be icons and a wall, the people who purchase it are not getting it.

For the record, Vampothika, you will need to up your game if you want to continue to get Master skins approved.  You will need to provide XP support and create works that are as good, if not better, than what are in your gallery.

Also, for Master skins ALL art has to be owned by you.  Create all your own work and then you don't have to worry about "accidentally" infringing somebody else's right.

Yeah right, it's a big conspiracy.  What's the saying?  Put up or shut up?

I didn't accuse you, so don't be so defensive.  It's a general statement, mmmm'kay.  So my advice would be to let it go.

I didn't say you did, but you keep saying that.  I'm the only one that said anything like that in this thread, so if you aren't accusing me, who are you accusing and why?  I see the "end it now" advice, which means that this thread is probably soon to be locked because the mods/admins don't like what's being said or called out.  I guess I should just get back up in my f-ing tree, like the song says right?
