These dark elf ladies do look nice, too... I sense a potential amaxon conversion coming up...

Indeed, some of us are high tier. Speaking for other forums, i can say that Carpe Noctem got some true artist.

Somewhat depressing now and then. You look at it and know you will most likely never be that good.

I agree. Some people are just so good that it is actually de-motivational. A sad reminder of my mediocrity.

Why should i let myself be depressed?
By this reasoning i shouldn't enjoy playing football with my friends because of Messi.

It's depressing to know you will never be that good, but if you enjoy it, it shouldn't stop you

Ok fair point!

I am past depression, and into serene acceptance.

I am past depression, and into serene acceptance.

I am not yet long enough in the hobby to achieve that.

1. Denial "No way!!! That has to be photoshopped!"
2. Anger "man he is too good! Why can't I be so good?"
3. Bargaining "maybe if I invest more time in the hobby or use better colors..."
4. Depression "*sigh* I'll never be that good *sob*"
5. Acceptance "well, who cares? I have fun painting"


I am somewhere in stages 3 and 4 most of the time I guess...

My painting does suffer from this. I'm never really satisfied with it, so I go play video games instead!

Look at it this way. To be that good at painting, you must use a lot of time on it, and neglect some other skills. So what if you're a mediocre painter, think about all the other things that you are above average in. Can he carve wood like you? I don't think so.

Basically, don't let other's success discourage you, just enjoy the things you like.

Your frame of mind in regards to painting is definitely superior to mine. I completely agree with you, but it is difficult to overcome one's own innate nature.

For the record, I'd give up my woodworking skills for those high level painting skills!
