First things first, you're absolutely right! XD
I cannot think of a single RP character I've made that's been on the front lines, so either I play way too many out of the way, passive characters, or I have a really bad memory (or both!). I guess it's just reflective of my nature to be more reserved and not lead in the spotlight. Same way you play very emphatic and expressive characters. It may not necessarily represent who you are, but it is a trend that seems to have its roots in your personality.

1. The simplest way I see it, is that digital art looks cleaner, I suppose, and that finds appeal in more people. Perhaps it also has to do with some subconscious bias, that traditional art is worse, because the artist isn't good enough to purchase the equipment to produce art digitally. That's obviously not true, but I totally see where you're coming from. Why your art is underrated and under-appreciated, I do not know. It's somewhat subjective, as well; some people just don't like your art style, and that's okay. In my opinion, I think you've gotten a lot better, and you should be really proud of your art, especially your consistency. Of course, I understand that it's hard to feel good about yourself if you don't receive any praise, and I'm lucky that I have someone to do that for me. You've really developed your own art style and that you keep doing so, constantly, and despite difficulties is admirable. Although you don't see me in your art thread, I have poked my head in to look at some of your art. And you're really good, like, the detail in the drawing in your OP is crazy.

2. One thing I know is that it's a whole ton easier to start something than finish it, haha, and I guess we just get too eager in jumping into RPs, without putting in the effort to actually have the full story planned out ahead of time. Of course, this is never the fault of the GM alone. The players may branch off and make it hard to have a defined plot, without relinquishing freedom. And, as always, life is constantly in the way. Even though RPs have been around for quite some time in the TV, whatever have yet to truly figure out how to create and handle a good RP, but really, that'll take time, if we can even think of any plots to use at all, still. o.O

As to why your characters are generally "deplored", it's a complex issue. As with your art, I feel like it has to do with a certain prejudice. Maybe you get too pushy with your characters, and make it aggravating to other players who don't do the same for the sake of the plot? I really don't know, just throwing a guess out there.

I've tried my best to be fairly passive whenever disputes arise, and I apologize if I've ever personally offended you. As I said, I hope getting this off your chest makes you feel better. You have amazing perseverance, both in art and literature. Keep it up! Look at the positives. I'm not sure what else to say, but hopefully this helps.

I get that you're trying to ask questions, but the way you're going about it is poor, in my opinion.

"And I am sure Thin only made Cherub to rub it in my face with the whole 'I cherish life but in reality is it better just to shoot people in the head mercilessly because that is true Mercy for that is what the bible told me.' motif." I'd have been ok with that quote, but you needlessly threw the Bible in there for no reason. There was no need to mention the Bible, yet you did it anyways.

I'm fine with random people scrutinizing me, but when someone I know does it, it hurts a whole lot more and a lot more is at risk.

This bit I can't reply to, as the only RP I did with any of those characters is with Saboteur during the one RP I can't even remember the name to.

"I am only making a general observation here, I did not deplore anyone's writing style"

"And no offense Hexlash, but if you are reading this, I am sure your character is hiding in the corner somewhere, or in another position where his/her well being is not likely going to be harmed, and your character is making some of observation on other RP character again isn't she/he?"

That doesn't exactly seem like a friendly or constructive observation.

" And I am sure Thin only made Cherub to rub it in my face with the whole 'I cherish life but in reality is it better just to shoot people in the head mercilessly because that is true Mercy for that is what the bible told me.' motif."

Not exactly an observation, more so a poor conclusion that you over analyze Thin's characters. While I myself will admit that sometimes Thin can push his beliefs a bit too much, he doesn't make characters and an entire roleplay to rub something in your face.

"Oh, and is Liminori still struggling to write?"

While true, as Liminori agrees to it, it still hits as a low blow. There would be nicer ways to word that question that doesn't make it look like a gut punch.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Lim. While I can see how this could all be criticism, none of it is showing up as that. Sure, this is an argument. An argument I've had wanted to had for a while.

Little did we know, this is all a massive role play. But where's the OOC? :0

On the first point, my character Ragnir is both a descendant of space vikings and a (relatively) new recruit, gets into spats with his little sister, and all-around definitely fits the "Boisterous Bruiser" archetype, so I can't say for sure. Sadly, Juli the hyperactive partially-insane science geek hasn't really gotten a chance to shine.

I like to mix comedic and serious elements, anyway. Done right, I've seen it work really well.

First off, your art. I know I've complimented your art submissions when they popped up in Machinauts OOC, and you're quite good at what you do. I'm no art critic, but the stuff you draw generally looks cool. I remember the Fallen King fanart in particular looks like a combination between Warhammer 40K and Sp'Knights, which is loads of awesome.

Right, your main complaint is about Forum RPs in general. More specifically, it largely revolves around perceived mistakes of other people (referred to herein as "roleplayers"). Some of these are simply stylistic differences. Take me, I tend toward making more optimistic characters, like Squire Pholy from Machinauts and the aforementioned Ragnir and Juli. But is that really a flaw? In all three of these cases, the RPs already have their share of other personalities, like (in Machinauts) the more stoic Nautilus and the enigmatic... guy who left the Audio Log at the end of Chapter 1, and of course player characters. And if I'm good at the upbeat characters, why should I not have any?

Some others are complaints about complaints- but in a few cases you're not trying to look at it from the recipient's angle. There was no problem with Affraiel (the orc from Yore of Almire); problems in Yore of Almire came from major additions you tried to make to the plot that admittedly would've slowed down the story. Pink-Galaxy would've been an entertaining character to have around, but it sounds like you went on an angry rant in previous RPs and Thinslayer didn't want to deal with any more angry rants. Think about it. If I'd waltzed into something you made and started badmouthing every single decision you made that I didn't like, then went on to insult your most strongly-held beliefs and otherwise make a scene, would you want me to join your RP?

Now, a few of the grievances you raised may have backing. But, honestly, people make mistakes. I make mistakes (just look at the whole "Oopsie, Matikclocker didn't actually get toasted by Polyboros after all" fiasco a while ago for a great example), you make mistakes, everyone makes mistakes. That's where proper criticism comes in; mistakes are naturally corrected through the process of accepting criticism. Angry mudslinging is not criticism, and is, in fact, the antithesis of proper, constructive criticism. (Of course, there are the people that are too arrogant to accept ANY criticism, and they may have to be banned from an RP if they get nasty enough- but you don't need to shout at them to do that, either.) Sometimes, though, you just have to give people a break. Maybe something in real life is giving them crap, maybe they got excited about something and missed a point or two, or maybe they were just tired that day- but they're not TRYING to make mistakes, so cut them some slack.

And now to address the angry antitheist rant. Sono got right to the point: badmouthing the Bible to a Christian (or badmouthing the basis of anyone's beliefs, really) isn't going to make them want to spend any time talking to you. Some of us appreciate a calm, level-headed, reasoned debate on a good day, but that goes out the window when all your posts on the matter sound like shouting.

Take that last parenthetical statement in the first paragraph. What does it add? You've already established that you're looking for answers to questions that likely would have been answered anyway. Putting "No, the Bible won't give me answers" in at that point doesn't help you find answers to your questions, and sounds rude to boot. There's no apparent method to the rudeness. It's just rudeness for rudeness' sake. This is about as effective at making people give you a straight answer as a herring is at chopping down a tree. Removing it would enhance the quality of your post.

To sum up, your art is good and I haven't seen a problem with it. In regards to interacting with people online, you really need to cut down on the rudeness, understand that people have differing opinions and [insert thing here] styles, and cut people some slack.
