SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Ben Bridenbaugh

I apologize for my harsh criticism, Ben. It was out of line. I was wrong. I'm sorry. My site prolly hasn't improved since you last saw it and it prolly never will, not that I expect anyone to visit it... it IS krap afterall ~_0

There was a reason why I was so cruel, well two. One, cheesy self-promotions like "I like your work, why not come to my site and look at mine" never works, and if it works it gets no intelligent response.

Two, a criticism always has an effect. Whether being a common, negative comeback, insult, or the tossing of tomatoes, I find out more from reading responses to my criticisms then to compliments. How can I improve upon comments? Though a thorough belittling of my talents and hobbies would have probably helped me more, your response was the most intelligent I've read so far. It's better then the common "Your site blows, you should kill yourself" that I always get.

If you can't forgive me, I understand. I am the bad guy afterall, since several people have rallied against me on your little board ^_^()

But, if you ever want to answer this in any way can you answer me this: What is wrong with my artwork?

How old are You ? 10?

nice gallery,
i had lots of fun with your comics
Great JOb, keep it up.

There are a couple of things I want to say, which I think you are making huge mistakes about.

1). You are WAY too egotistical about your art. I used to be extremely egotistical, and I thought that I drew extremely well. That was like three years ago, and now I'm more pessemistic about my art. Be more pessemistic, that's how you improve!!!!

2). Though your stories are fun, they are still derivative of almost anything in movies and comercials on TV.

3). Practice practice practice. I can't emphasise this enough, as this is the only way people improve their art.

4). Do live figure sketching of people etc, your proportions are off.

5). Though you probally draw better than the average joe, don't get too caught up on that fact. That leads to arrogance, and bloated ego. Increase in skill will increase your confidence, and not your ego.

Have fun

Hello! I like your stuff and your comic are great!
Also liked your tutorial

But; I think you should spend more time on each picture - I guess most of 'em took around one or two hours.
Personally I usually spend 12 to 30 hours at my work.
Well, thats what art is about!

Patience.

Another tip is to NEVER get to happy with your work.
I'm never happy with my results. Thats the thing that makes me keep practicing. I get angry because of things I cant do - then I'm trying again. And again. Don't stop before you can do what you want to do.

Patience

hi! loved your work!!! & good thing don't mind those creepS!!!! that's your kind of art,so that's good,very very good. i should know-'coz I'm also an artist all the way back here in the Philippines. F--- those ----!hehehe! keep up,ok...

I love your comics they are wonderful and very hilarious.. Those who don't like it.. Well thats their problem.. I seen a couple of comments up there.. And I have to say.. Only jerks would be as annoying as them so pay no mind to the morons please..

i think that even though you don’t really want to , that you should still load on the comics from that other link you keep on mentioning. you would probably get a lot more veiwers since the link has quit a long odd name. either that, or you could try to change the name, or you could make a direct link, like i mean that you would just click on it and the name of the link and it would go there, i have no idea of what this is called, and i’m not being lazy, i just think that it might help. if you don’t understand me i have seen it done in other blogs in elfwood so you can search thruogh until you find what i mean. i agree with what tanja said about the pictures looking like they were done really quick, but i think 12 to 30 hours is craziy. i take forever and i don’t even think that i take that long. your pics are really coming along though and you have the humour part(the most important one) down pat. so pleas upload those to elfwood. hurry. please. hurry hurrry hurry

wow bubby hunter, youre harsh

er... i meant bunny hunter
