EXCELLENT travail,cela me fait plaisir de commenter les merveilleuses galeries et creations, je n,ai pas commenté boucoup cette année pour cause de probleme de santé familiale et finalement de santé personelle ,mais ma fidelité demeure la meme envers cette communeautée. merci jean claude pour le partage de ces excellentes images et réalisations

moi aussi j'ai remarqué ça mon ami,et beaucoup de gens ont quitté,c'est décourageant parfois mais moi en tout cas je vais continuer,de poster et de commenter,parfois la vie joue un touir bizarre alors on doit disparaitre pour quelque jours (ce qui était le cas avec ute et moi)mais aprés tout on est toujours la alors courage mon ami!!!

Outstanding work

As always, fine work. There are many who are no longer here.

Yes, I can understand you really well. Indeed, it is very disheartening if one writes many comments, but even no remark agrees. So that does not discourage such a thing me, I have made to myself a rule. If I comment three times on an artist and then no feedback agrees from him, then I also do not comment. But I am only twice per week here in the forum, but if I am there, I comment on the works of the "faithful" Of course it gives artist, them every day, or even two pictures per day upload. I can comment on that of course not everybody because I come, otherwise, the whole day to nothing and my work remains lying... So, now to your picture... A wonderful and very atmospheric work. In it everything is right. The actress, the poses, the light and above all the Environment!

Thanks for your support, my friend!

magnifique image je te comprends pour ça à déserté ici un moment car ça devenais démotivant de faire quelque chose au point d'en perdre l'inspiration mais heureusement que à d'autres loisirs comme la broderie ou les coloriages d'art thérapie

Excellent work and perfect realisation

I've always been a long time Jean_C fan and I thank you for your art and time. I also have seen many of my friends and fine artists leaving Rendo for one reason or another over the years, yet I hold on. I hope you are not another my friend. I would miss your wonderful nature photos and fun story idea's... :(

Thank you, my friend!

I agree with your views! Hello Richard,I have a deal with myself,I comment only the Artist they comment on my Images.Work for me. Klasse image,excellent done,like it a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful scene and atmosphere you have created here, Jean, as always of very high quality, I try every day to comment in galleries, but because of poor eyesight, I can not sit at the computer for very long, so sometimes it can take several days before I comment, but I will return :))))**************

I agree with you, I have noticed the same. For me you're one of the best artists here and I really enjoy it, to look at your pictures. But I think with us it is based on reciprocity. Get on with it!

I forgot, the image is fantastic. Very dark mood and a bit sad, it seems to reflect your current feeling.

Thank you very much for your words, my friend!

Un rendu simplement fantastique et bien fait! Moi et René ont eu le même problème, mais hélàs c'est la vie communautaire de Renderosity, dans les autres sites ce n'est pas mieux (p.ex. chez DeviantArt), alors fait comme nous avec un simple sourire!!!!

Wonderful work!!!

Another fine piece....don't get discouraged. A few quality comments are better than many by people who have merely glanced at your work and haven't even seen it at full-size.I don't have the time to comment on everything I see here at Renderosity. And I imagine others are as busy as I am.

Je suis exactement dans le même état d'esprit. Je vais probablement basculer sur DeviantArt.

fantastic scene and wonderful atmsphere/mood. I agree RR is withering.

Really fantastic image! Wonderful character and superb lighting. I agree totally with your comments. Relationships (of any kind) are a two way street. They need to provide a benefit going both ways. I love seeing your wonderful artwork, and reading your comments about my images. Excellent image and words!

Thanks for your words!

Your creation shows you state of mind and I feel the very same way as you do. The RR system has become very slow and we have lost about a 100 great artists in the past few years. I made a list of missing artists. It is so sad because some of the best are gone or infrequent contributors. I am also going to do as you mentioned about commenting! Thank you for standing tall. Votre création vous montre l'état d'esprit et je me sens la même manière que vous le faites. Le système de RR est devenu très lent et nous avons perdu environ 100 grands artistes au cours des dernières années. Je fis une liste d'artistes disparus. Il est si triste parce que certains des meilleurs sont partis ou contributeurs occasionnels. Je vais aussi faire comme vous l'avez dit à propos des commentaires! Merci pour la tête haute.

Thanks for your support, my friend!

Firstly, haunting scene and atmosphere, maybe also symbolic...if she uses the Fury Sword on those Artists who only think of themselves...? Yeah, I agree Rendo has almost lost that community spirit, but you shouldn't let those Artists influence your decisions, so keep posting, just to give them the shits and your real friends will always be here for you no matter what you decide to do...but, please don't let them win ! ~Cheers~

Lol for the symbolic interpretation, but there will be a following image, and perhaps... lol! Thanks for your support!

Apologies Jean, this image got past me. I too feel your pain. Religiously I comment on all the images of the people I have chosen to put on my favourites list. Because I work away sometimes it's hard to respond on the day of release, but then I will spend hours commenting on each one banked up in my inbox. Sometimes I wonder why I bother posting images on Rosity, very few of the people whom I have followed over the many years bother to look or comment. Even more disturbing is the consistency, I know I still have room for improvement, but when trying to submit products for the marketplace they get rejected almost immediately. Then I look at the new releases to find them flawed with the very reasons my products were rejected. I really enjoy my hobby of 3D art and modelling, and at the end of the day I do this for myself (although a bit of recognition doesn't go astray). Jean, do not let them break you, as a true friend, we have your back. For we are truly friends who speak through images. Cheers, from a friend across the cybernetic void.

Thank ypu very much, my friend, for your words and support!

The atmosphere and mood are remarkable, great character, splenid image! I fully agree, that the practice of returning comments is fair. But, as any practice, it may go wrong too. Some artists just paste the same general comment from the clipboard and this way cover a lot more artists so as to have many comments in return. I do not like that. I prefer the principle "less is more". And there is one serious problem with our commenting. We all are too polite. I hate to see "outstanding work!" under a bad image. I am polite too, so why not find something interesting in the image to note? And, after all, why not just say about evident image problems?

I totally agree with you about the copy/paste of comments, it's sure there is some dysfunction in the practice of comments! I agree too for the idea that we are too polite, but personnaly I don't think I can judge an artwork even it is not really perfect, and with my bad english, I might be unintentionally offensive to artists, that would not be a good thing! And personally, I already had critques on expressive choice I made to create an image ... but it was my own freedom! I think this problem is very complicated !! Anyway, thanks for your answer to this discussion!

Je m'interroge : s'agit-il pour l'héroïne de déterrer l'épée de guerre ou, au contraire de la raccrocher ? Agis en ton âme et conscience. Fais ce qui te semble juste. Et puisse-tu retrouver la sérénité à laquelle tu aspires.

Une superbe scène qui me rappelle celle du film de John Boorman 'Excalibur', quand le jeune page Arthur se place devant l'épée plantée dans le rocher, avant de l'extraire, signe de son accession au pouvoir royal ... Mais cette ' fury sword' a dans ton commentaire , des relents de 'hache de guerre' ;-). J'ai constaté comme toi la désertion de pas mal d'artistes du site, et j'ai pris moi aussi mes distances avec des artistes qui estiment ne pas avoir à jouer le jeu quand on les abreuve de commentaires et qu'ils se contentent de les lire sans rien donner en retour. Il y a beaucoup de choses à revoir dans le système des ratings, et classements. Pour ma part, je trouve que le commercial , les pubs ont envahi ce site au point de rétrécir l'espace visuel des photos mises en ligne, avec cette f...bande de droite qui rogne sur ce qui devrait être un espace d'exposition des oeuvres et non le rappel obsédant des offres, promos, à saisir. Le jour où je trouve un site ( il y en a ) qui met la pub à l'écart de la création artistique, ça sera bye-bye Renderosity, en attendant de trouver le temps de mettre en place mon propre site....En tout cas, j'espère que tu continueras à alimenter Renderosity de tes créations toutes aussi superbes les unes que les autres.

Je pense comme toi qu'il y aurait beaucoup de choses à changer, je ne pense pas non plus que cela se fasse dans le bon sens... Et tous cas, merci pour tes encouragements, et j'espère que toi aussi tu continueras à poster tes superbes photos! ;-)
