er.. its still june.

Orderedchaos • 1 Jul 2013, 7:29 PM

@magicwolf321 Its July 1st. Look at the clock/calender at the top of the page.

steph • 1 Jul 2013, 8:05 PM

I would not have been offended at all if Ian had given @pirran an extra day or two to work on these creatures. You can't rush art!

ilikesmiggle8884 • 1 Jul 2013, 9:16 PM

i like tigers!

clayosaurusrex • 1 Jul 2013, 9:19 PM

Wow... this exploded! I like the Cave Monthlies. I mean, they could've had more detail and stuff, but overall I enjoy them. 😃

No one is telling anyone to sugarcoat anything. It's just that, as stated above, threatening to quit before you don't like the looks of a

few pixels and complaining that a 12-year-old drew them isn't constructive criticism. You can be as blunt as you'd like, but don't be a

Meteoroid • 1 Jul 2013, 9:41 PM

@jrock2013 That's not a critique, however. That's a basic observation that provides little information to the artist behind the image.

metaphor • 1 Jul 2013, 9:41 PM

bleep about it. Most good artists want to know where they went wrong and when their work isn't up par. They do not, however, wish to be

metaphor • 1 Jul 2013, 9:43 PM

bashed mercilessly. And I meant because not before.

Meteoroid • 1 Jul 2013, 9:43 PM

@jrock2013 It's okay to tell an artist that you dislike their image. It's not okay to make baseless assumptions that will only upset others.

Meteoroid • 1 Jul 2013, 10:09 PM

@jrock2013 And that is perfectly fine. But some of the comments seen today were totally inappropriate and extreme over simple drawings.

metaphor • 1 Jul 2013, 11:40 PM

Okay: "I am not fond of this month's creatures and feel that the details are lacking." Not okay: "ewwww so ugly who drew these" yeah

solaris • 2 Jul 2013, 12:03 AM

Man. Nothing from the Cave again!

metaphor • 2 Jul 2013, 12:05 AM

Cool, got a Feggle! Now to find a name for it.

metaphor • 2 Jul 2013, 12:08 AM

Plankton it is!

mrsgiggles • 2 Jul 2013, 12:14 AM

Second day, no new egg. Sigh.

inkpelt • 2 Jul 2013, 1:42 AM

I don't think we can pin this all on the new artist.The colors are dull, but it could be they were told to make them with those colors.

inkpelt • 2 Jul 2013, 1:46 AM

Also, the concept is just lacking (for me). They probably just did the best they could with what they were given.

cat • 2 Jul 2013, 1:57 AM

It has been stated before, but these were made IN 5 HOURS. STOP BASHING THE ARTIST. I love all the art, because I know that effort has been-

cat • 2 Jul 2013, 1:58 AM

-put into the art. Have you seen her other art? I bet you that next month's creatures are gonna be AMAZING. And I dare you to make a better-

cat • 2 Jul 2013, 1:59 AM

-*two better* creatures in five hours.

gabrieltaft • 2 Jul 2013, 2:28 AM

I would be totally for the artest doing an update to the cave images.

twilight_raptor • 2 Jul 2013, 3:00 AM

@pirran *reads comments*The glowing butt is missing the glow it seems 😉 think it needs the radiance to it that shows it as a light source❤️

flashbunny • 2 Jul 2013, 3:56 AM

as an artist myself, to find out that 5 hours for all these 3? (i'm assuming) is not enough.. BUT why couldn't they start sooner?

flashbunny • 2 Jul 2013, 3:56 AM

I am very interested in this, since i once too wanted to become an artist on this site. Did the ideas come in too late? What happened? 😊

sungrave • 2 Jul 2013, 4:10 AM

Hm well,actually I like the cave ones ^^" Just look at the early eggcave creatures,like the caiman or krah or the first rosse..they weren't-

sungrave • 2 Jul 2013, 4:12 AM

-worked out as eg. a kujak or alkub,but still everybody loves them.it's hard to do something that Everybody loves,thats all, in my opinion,,

cat • 2 Jul 2013, 4:57 AM

@flashbunny I believe it was because @pirran had such a short notice. One of the other artists pulled out at the last second and couldn't -

cat • 2 Jul 2013, 4:58 AM

- make the creatures, so @pirran only had five hours.

dionaea • 2 Jul 2013, 6:47 AM

I was kinda disappointed when I saw them too, but knowing the story I wonder if Ian can't give the artist a chance to update the art?

dionaea • 2 Jul 2013, 6:51 AM

I'd love to see what they look like if the artist has had more time to perfect them o_o

wallie987 • 2 Jul 2013, 8:24 AM

@twilight_raptor Well, it's suppossed to be a cricket. xP

wallie987 • 2 Jul 2013, 9:40 AM

@poof True, which is wh we're wondering if pirran can update the critters - so they look better AND are on time.

bubblez • 2 Jul 2013, 9:42 AM

@jrock2013 It's one thing to say you don't like something, or you think it's not up to par. It's another to make a mountain out of a mole--

bubblez • 2 Jul 2013, 9:43 AM

hill. And completely bash someone. What users said yesterday was beyond just stating the truth. I agree with @Poof if they were late there--

bubblez • 2 Jul 2013, 9:44 AM

would have been an uproar with everyone complaining.

wallie987 • 2 Jul 2013, 9:44 AM

@jrock2013 Good for you, but you have to remember that 1, not everyone is like you, and 2, it's one thing to give your opinion...

wallie987 • 2 Jul 2013, 9:44 AM

... and another to just be utterly disrespectful.

bot • 2 Jul 2013, 10:08 AM

@jrock2013 I'm so glad that I have someone agreeing with me. Thanks. 😊

chowchow2012 • 2 Jul 2013, 10:43 AM

Could you guys please check out my suggestion? http://eggcave.com/forums/topic/42187

iulianna1 • 2 Jul 2013, 11:59 AM

After reading the blog, I think we should appreciate @pirran 's work. It was done in only 5 hours and I think they're pretty cute ^^

monchhichi01 • 2 Jul 2013, 12:47 PM

Yes I agree ^ Although some people believe that there aren't many details this is what I think: I am an artist... in my opinion

monchhichi01 • 2 Jul 2013, 12:49 PM

being an artist means making a creation with your own two hands whether other people like it or not very rarely I make something that

monchhichi01 • 2 Jul 2013, 12:50 PM

everyone likes, but you know what? I don't care. I just want one person supporting me through thick and thin in my art no matter what. So

monchhichi01 • 2 Jul 2013, 12:52 PM

even though all you guys are criticizing and giving your opinions about @pirran 's art I will support her because this art is hers and in

monchhichi01 • 2 Jul 2013, 12:52 PM

my eyes it is beautiful and unique and that's all you can ask for with art. ❤️

linpug • 2 Jul 2013, 1:10 PM

I really miss how now the blog isnt posted on as often unless there is an argument. We used to have conversations on here. :/

pirran • 2 Jul 2013, 1:19 PM

I find it a little difficult to hold a conversation in 140 characters or less, haha. Some people just want to publically show their disdain.

chowchow2012 • 2 Jul 2013, 1:26 PM

@linpug Well That was before the forums I guess? 😋
