I am sorry if it looks nothing like Posi to you, because it comes across to me as something he could have easily worn at some point. I think I mentioned that my movie was set during the time of Rikti War, which I believe to be some time ago. So think of this version as my impression of Posi, rather than a poor replica of the one he is supposed to be wearing in Steel Canyon.

Well, you have to remember that as an art piece, it's the artist's responsibility to convey the message they want across to their viewer. If someone doesn't see what you see, they're not 'wrong' they just didn't get the message. Perhaps that's due to opinion, perhaps that's because you didn't do a good enough job in trying to show what you want, perhaps it's just differences in people's perception.
As the artist, you're far too close to the piece to be an accurate judge of what it is or isn't. Nobody knows what you're supposed to be rendering, aside from what their eyes and experience tells them. If your artistic choices got in the way of recognizing the subject, it's not other people's fault for not seeing that.
That has no bearing on whether or not you're *happy* with the piece, but that's the brutal nature of art and showing it off.

The Guide to BURN
I don't know why you left out the next two sentences out of the quote, because I basically acknowledged that it is my failure as an artist if my helmet didn't make other people think of Posi, which for Chris it clearly didn't.
I never said I was happy with the piece. Other than the logo, it is not one of the pieces I am proud of. I just felt I should explain that making it look as close to the real thing as possible wasn't the main concern, because Chris's critique focused on the inaccuracies in detail, which is fine. My drawing teacher taught me that once you put your work out there for critique, don't think of it as your work so you can be more objective. I am sorry if it sounded like I was defending my piece. The helmet actually looked pretty boring when I looked at it after my last post.

..I often find that if your not that "into" a piece of artwork you did...
the best way to fix it, is to throw in tons of half naked women with large breasts..
..oh, and a lemur or two helps also

I vote for Juggertha. Love that childlike wonder he brought to the piece.
