Insisting that your work is perfect, and getting actually mad at people who tell you otherwise, will not help you improve as a content creator. This forum is not for perfect work. This forum is for advice and criticism. If you don't listen to their valid suggestions on how to make your work better, your work won't get better. It's not "hate". I'm telling you right now, "hate" does not exist on these forums. "Hate" is always, always an exaggeration from someone who takes things the wrong way. There is never, ever going to be someone hating on you for absolutely no reason. The only reason it seems like people are hating on you is because you think your work is perfect. And when anyone tries telling you about mistakes to fix, it increases your self-defensiveness. You're becoming aggressive for no reason, it's not healthy for you or your future career. Call me what you will, pretend I'm "hating" on you. But I will tell you right now, you're going down the wrong path.

Gonna upload this here just so you know I'm working on something.

Completely vanilla except for the subtle glow, and yes, its an animation.

Okay okay okay I've been making a lot of status updates about amateurs on the forums so I might as well slap this one on.
"Hate" is defined as different things nowadays, which means a lot more can be passed off as such. Criticism is not hate. If someone does not like something you made, don't tell yourself "Nahh they're just hatin'." Well, all hate is based off of something. Just like all exaggeration is based on truth. If someone doesn't like what you made, find out why. Otherwise you'll never improve yourself.
And also be careful of who's giving the criticism. Nowadays on the forums I see a lot of new people telling other new people that what they made was good, when it really wasn't, and neither is the content they make. If people who don't know what they're doing either tell you you're doing just fine, it's not reliable and will not improve you whatsoever. And to the other side of it: don't tell people what's good when you have negative reputation for what you've been making. Of course, be confident in yourself, but also don't ignored people with legitimate criticisms.

video of the day
 

Also one more thing. Sorry for the double status but
To all the newbies out there, "smooth animation" is not something that can be taught. You can't watch a 20 minute YouTube tutorial and call it a day. In fact it's naive to think that you can learn everything you need to know just by watching tutorials. There's not how art works. You put work into art. Animation is art.
Smooth animation is something you achieve by experience. You earn it, not learn it. When making art, you can't just ask some other artist "Hey, could you record yourself painting that picture again so I can do it just like you?" And the problem is that to some of you that sentence might not even sound stupid.
Art is not "Hey what are they doing on theirs?" Art is "Hey, what can I change about what I'm doing to make mine work better?" Of course I'm not saying using others as influence is bad. Inspiration is definitely important. Copying someone else's techniques, however, is never beneficial. You will not grow as an artist. You will not learn for yourself how to further the quality of your work, and you will be sorely unprepared for the real deal.
 
Thanks guys I'm going to bed.

Honestly guys, "no pics no clicks" needs to stop. Especially if they're brand new to the forums. You don't need to be so blunt and vague about it. It makes it sound like it happens all the time you're so used to saying it. But they're new. You don't have to distance them even further than they already feel.

Why did the Florida High school lose the basketball game?
 
Because they lost their best shooter.

Holy mother of saint jesus Christ, The Minebox, a Youtuber with 800,000 subs just commented on my video. Guess I just found the right comment to pin! Also thanks a lot to Nimi for cleaning my topic, thanks buddy! 

@Skerate seriously dude, stop spamming topics and status updates. Slow down. 

Not sure why, but something told me to try and make the front of a Victorian/Gothic-styled house for some reason.
The first image & gif were made in Cinema 4D. The second image was re-created in Mine-imator.

Here's some art 
 

Some small doodles and what-not I've drawn lately I guess
 

The amount of new people I see with more negative rep than positive is ridiculous. Y'all are so toxic because you shut down any new people that come by that don't post some outstanding stuff from the get go. Jesus give some of these newbies a chance, everyone has to start somewhere.
