they all look so different as usual? Don't really like the cc ones, don't think I'll get them, I like the Feggle though!

If this isn't directed at Qes, then I don't know what you're dealing with. But if this wan't your month, practice and do some test pets...
kiti • 1 Jul 2013, 2:18 PM
... you'll pick it up. :} Don't stop and make everyone love you.

@pirran sorry about my rude comments! If I may ask, how old are you & how did you get egg cave to let you so the artwork
pirran • 1 Jul 2013, 2:25 PM
@faybaybay I'm not "12" as some people would suggest. My portfolio/bio is on my profile, and I was found through a site for working artists.
quadricat • 1 Jul 2013, 2:29 PM
There is a marked difference among expressing your opinion, abusive criticism, and constructive critique. I'm seeing a lot of cruelty here.
wallie987 • 1 Jul 2013, 2:32 PM
@quadricat Agreed, and I'm beginning to think that if creatures a going to get better, the artists have got to know what all the users want-

You guys are really rude. =.=
sprite • 1 Jul 2013, 2:41 PM
Knowing the cave creatures only had 5 hours vs the usual month i think they are done well for that amount of time.
sprite • 1 Jul 2013, 2:44 PM
Not many here could pull off even 1/2 of what was done in so little time. pirran thank you for explaining and good luck!
glados • 1 Jul 2013, 2:51 PM
I wouldn't be able to draw half as well with a five hour time constraint for two creatures. Coloring alone takes hours. Thanks, Pirran. ❤️
Ian • 1 Jul 2013, 3:04 PM
if it weren't for @pirran, last night's release wouldn't have happened!
dreamer • 1 Jul 2013, 3:07 PM
Guys, get the creatures if you like them, and leave this alone if you don't. Half of you probably couldn't draw nearly as well in 5 hours.
dreamer • 1 Jul 2013, 3:08 PM
Personally, I'm saving my CC, but I did get a Miros. You're lucky these creatures are released anyways. There are plenty more to come.
brookie • 1 Jul 2013, 3:16 PM
The art is very different this month. I really like the Riggert. 😸
brad • 1 Jul 2013, 3:19 PM
Wow, 5 hours? 😱 Okay! I am seeing these in a whole new light. These are absolutely amazing for 5 hours!

Most people here could have been much more tactful with their criticism, but there have also been people who are interested in helping you

you're never going to be able to please everyone, no matter how wonderful a masterpiece you create. People are like that. I learned as a

briseis • 1 Jul 2013, 3:38 PM
Ugh. Who is drawing these creatures? To be honest, they look awful and do not stand up to even the art of the commons in the EC.
quadricat • 1 Jul 2013, 3:39 PM
@metaphor There is no excuse for the playerbase to be rude and hateful. Ever. Just because "it happens" doesn't mean it has to happen here.
quadricat • 1 Jul 2013, 3:40 PM
I'm an artist on another site, and I have never once had to deal with the abuse like what is blatantly posted on this news.
quadricat • 1 Jul 2013, 3:41 PM
Yes, all artists are subject to it at some point, and growing a thick skin is part of the job, but that isn't an invitation to be rude.

@quadricat Hey now, I never said it was acceptable, not ever. It is hurtful and I have so much respect for artists who put up with it,

because I know as a fact I'd struggle with it. But at the same time, it's important to remember that as hurtful as it can be, people aren't

it shouldn't happen. In a perfect world, everyone would offer wholly constructive criticism and keep their personal biases out of it.

@metaphor I'm not saying you're justifying it, but you are suggesting that this 'isnt that bad' (yes I agree subeta is awful though)

metaphor • 1 Jul 2013, 3:46 PM
But unfortunately, people can be cruel and while it'd be nice to change that, all you really can do is shrug it off and strive for better.
quadricat • 1 Jul 2013, 3:47 PM
This character limit is seriously getting in the way of discussion lol.
metaphor • 1 Jul 2013, 3:47 PM
I didn't mean to come across as though it's not bad, so I apologize for that. I kind of worried that I would come across as "Well
other artists have it worse so suck it up" as that wasn't my intention. I was more trying to assure @pirran that she isn't alone. When I was

Its alright, I didn't mean to accuse either lol. I agree with you. I just want it to be clear to others that there is no excuse to be mean.
glados • 1 Jul 2013, 3:48 PM
Bot, that comment is uncalled for. If you don't like the cave monthlies that much, you don't need to voice it so vehemently in public.
understand a word of my story and that it was just flowery gibberish. It really did hurt me, and I kind of wanted to cry. But that story
