He can handle it, but of course when you finish a creative endeavor, you just want everyone to love it. Hearing criticism sucks, no matter how much we think we want it.
Lord knows how much I have hated hearing my shots need to be redone! Ever since I first started on Babylon 5, I'd finish a shot, I'd think it was great, and someone in authority would come along and tell me what needed to be fixed.
They'd walk away, I'd give them the finger behind their back and then, grumbling, make the changes.
And you know what? 9 times out of 10 it turned out better. Even if the change wasn't neccessary, just the act of taking another stab at it gave me new ideas and improved the process. If I had a bunch of people saying "leave Mojo alone, his work is great and if you don't like it, too bad!" I never would have improved and learned.
Ady is a big boy and no one has any authority over him to force him to change anything, but I'd bet the farm that every time he revisited a shot, whether it was because forum members cried out or he just decided to take another swing at it, it turned out better.
He should be commended for taking ANY criticism to heart, because so many artists, if left to be their own boss, simply would let their egos take over, refuse to believe anything is wrong with their work and just "do whatever they want."
Like, for example, George Lucas!
Thank the Maker, Ady has not gone that route.
Feedback and criticism is a good thing for anyone with a healthy ego. There is no point in asking people to stop, partly because this is a public forum, partly because Ady can ignore what he wants but MOSTLY because it's the only way anything gets better.
