As a former teaching assistant and current student, telling someone their work 'is shit' and 'horrid' is not teaching them a thing. Showing them what they can do to improve the work is. As for continuing to be bitched at for being harsh, perhaps tempering your comments to be more constructive and less opinionated will make you far more friends and not subject you to the comments. You have to look no further than your own words.
I took a look at your site-you are very good, but not my 'style', but no matter how much it isn't, I would never be as negative as you have been.
As for the work presented in this thread-it too is not to my tastes-too much of anything on one work is hard on the eyes and kills any focal point, so work on that-your work should represent you, but those who look upon it should be able to see what it is you are trying to convey. The "Dawn" works are very good, if indeed she is your creation-almost Boris Vallejo in their execution. Don't whip things out willy-nilly. Take your time on each piece(note the spelling) and let it speak to you. Good luck.
