not sure why i am writing this although, i guess it is one of those things that i look at and try to give my own insight on for various reasons.

any who, i guess i was thinking about the 2 main reason it seems people tend to view well any sort of work negatively no matter the genre really

1.) the "aesthetic" reasons, in which it is a subjective view towards something that will either draw them to it or have them feeling repulsed by what they are experiencing.

2.) the "technical" reasons, meaning that there is a lacking in fundamental skills shown in the work, that may ruin what may be a very appealing concept (horrible grammar, total lack of understanding of anatomy, etc...)

i suppose the matter of aesthetics is something that can't really be over come, unless the person involved is willing to make a compromise of their own interest or ideas in favor of making something may or appeal to larger base. i would say that is something that can be looked at several ways, some positive or negative (some may think of it as simply 'selling out'

although aesthetics are important to something being consider a success, although given the fickle nature of the masses it may not be worth trying to appeal them unless you feel that you fall in line with them

i suppose the matter of technical lacking is something that can and should be overcome with time and effort (good guidance also helps ) although, i guess this is not the main point of it of this journal, it just frames it i suppose.

well i guess i feel that it seems like the general view towards our niche falls into the fighting against both reasons for why people 'hate' the stuff we produce overall.

i don't see many of us trying to fight the losing war of aesthetics, since the majority here do not want anything to do with what do here as it is not appealing at all to them, but then again the same could be said any niche group here. but i do see the fact that there is an issue when it comes to technical skill. i don't mean that every thing here has to be "perfect" ( i know i would not fall into that category myself) but i do think that each person should take pride in what they do here, i am not going to point fingers since i think the last time i focused on one person the went 'really bad'

i suppose i do see really horrible stuff here on occasion, i tend to wonder what are the standards of those people. it may be just my own experiences that have me wonder. WHY?! how come they don't care about putting there best foot forward with this stuff? maybe they are, it is hard to say really giving the fact that everyone has their own talents and abilities. but it just seems weird to me is all

in the past and i would talk about the cause of it or why people seemed to not be as discerning when it comes approving of this stuff. i really don't have an answer myself.

i am not too sure what exactly had me thinking of this or what to really say about it

i guess i am just rambling, although it would be nice to hear others view towards it from all spectrums of our quirky niche
