Ding ding ding we have a winner!Originally Posted by OchrisO
During the first contest I didn't post a picture of Ticky for the specific reason that I didn't think that my interpretation would be good enough to be placed among the other works. I wasn't the only one who posted saying, "I would've submitted something but..."
The biggest killer of creativity is self doubt. Not believing in yourself or your skills, or even fearing mockery holds too many artists back. I thought that by submitting a downright ridiculous version of Vannay that members would have that excuse of the "but..." taken away.
"Normally I'd have never posted one of my pictures because I'm not a good enough artist but that Vannay picture was strange and it still got people talking and it got votes so I should try."
Unfortunately, the admins here are too nice and they messed it all up.
Regardless I would hope some of our more self doubting artists won't be so afraid because they have nothing to fear and they should submit anyway because the only true judge of art, is time.
