Who the fuck said I'm holding a grudge?
As you said I barely even know you, so holding a grudge against someone you don't know IS stupid. I just couldn't muster up a polite reply because I was just so infuriated. And the fact you use your "pity" tactics piss me off even more. Trust me, there's a hell of a lot worse bullshit I've had to go through in my life, but thats MY personal life. I keep that to myself or share with people i trust. Using these "private" problems and just giving them away immediatly after feeling provoked just proves that you don't really see them as private problems. So, as harsh as it sounds, your little pity techniques do not work on me.
And yes, you are right. art is about that. But if thats ONLY what you percieve art to be, then you are ignorant. If you just want art to ONLY be fun and just a way to express yourself, then don't post it online UNLESS you are serious. I mean, I know deviantart is well known for its lack of concrit, but trust me. Anything you put on the internet, you have to be ready to also take some heat from it, and if you can't take the heat, stay the fuck away from the kitchen. in otherwords, if you can't handle people saying negative things about your work, then keep your drawings to yourself.
Now, once again, trying this whole self pity technique is just...pathetic. You no longer want to draw JUST because I said that? Its ridiculous. If anything, it should give you a drive to strengthen your weaknesses and improve, make a point to me that you CAN take the heat and can make your art look better than it does.
I agree, I was in a sour mood as I delivered the concrit, and some of the things I said were harsh. But it is how I see it in a trained eye. I've got to have a knack for pointing these things out if I hope to gain a degree while I'm at uni.

Forigve you? You are only asking for forgiveness because you know who I am from someone you're friends with!
The way you spoke to me was out of order!
I mean, what if you didn't know me? You would have still stuck to your guns and spoke to me in such a way, and you would still think it was acceptable!
How dare you insult me like that! Not only am I going to university on my portfolio alone, it is going into an EXHIBITION, which will be shown around areas of SCOTLAND, which means my art must obviously mean SOMETHING of importance to the lecturers.
And don't blame hormones. I was never like that when people gave me C+C.
I honestly don't see why I should change my mind. I don't really know you all that well, and the first things you ever say to me are spiteful and vile.
