This guy...

UPDATE: GAUISE. Now he's trying to instruct me on the proper way to do a sketch... WHAT?! A sketch is just supposed to be a loose interpretation of what you want to do, the extent to which you detail this is completely up to your personal preference! There is no such thing as a "correct" way to sketch. I just...I can't even any more. This doesn't REAL.

EDIT2: here's some links to the arguments he had with some other people -- seriously, you can't fully understand his stupidity until you strike up your own argument with him. PFFT.

I gave him a taste of his own medicine, -- makarovjac.deviantart.com/art/… makarovjac.deviantart.com/art/…

EDIT: WELP! I have actually done it. I am proud to say that I, Shirra, have defeated the mighty MakarovJAC in a battle of words & wits. He gave up and told me he "no longer wanted to argue with me because it is pointless" and he "had better things to do."

So, basically, I handed him his own ass on a silver platter and he's been met with unbeatable logic. At the end there, he resorted to petty insults..saying I only wanted to 'feed my ego' because I was a part of the furry fandom, and that I'm an attention whore. It did nothing to deter him from his "critiques" however. But, for every critique he makes, I will post some more degrading comments just to amuse my friends and show the world how foolish he is.

Now, I'm going to go eat some well deserved victory cake. Feel free to go to his page and piss around, if you stop taking him seriously and just go at him relentlessly, it's pretty damn hilarious!

He's back, and this time he's trying to tell us what constitutes as "photography!" Which, apparently, is this: makarovjac.deviantart.com/gall… Uhmm, yeah, okay. We knew you thought you were some "master" of arts...but now you've just gone too far. I think he might just be a slight bit delusional..

Anywho, it appears I have conquered his ignorant tongue! Here's some comments I made on his profile (anybody who has dealt with this guy before will know that there's no "being nice" to him, or trying to talk in a "calm" way -- his deliberate ignorance shows no bounds! So, don't think I'm being harsh. This is after 3 separate occasions of pointless arguments. I have finally shut him up.)

My theory as to why he's such a hypocritical ass: comments.deviantart.com/4/8272…

I highly suggest you don't even try and get into an argument with this guy. He can't acknowledge anyone's opinions other than his own, and even if you use his own "logic" against him (he strongly believes that every person who submits work to this website wants to be a professional -- so, I turned this around and said that because he likes to write [poorly written] stories, he must want to be a professional! He ain't having none of it.) he still can't grasp the ridiculousness of his thinking.

To those of you that aren't familiar with our obtuse friend, he is a rather obnoxious asshole who insults budding artists' artwork. He tries to pretend these are 'critiques,' but it's harassment, really. Often as simple as: "this sucks, get art lessons." He will not provide any encouragement or explain how to fix the offending thing, either. To him, "encouragement" = "butt kissing." So, he justifies his 'critique' as him trying to get people to improve, as 'butt kissing' doesn't encourage improvement...apparently..

Then, after he has procured a large number of angry friends defending the person in question, he starts silly arguments and "beats them" with his boundless stupidity. I have never seen him give up, he is relentless (except in my case; can't take what he dishes out I guess.) THEN he collects all their 'stupid' reasoning and writes a big, long rant about how "deranged" and "wrong" they are. It used to drive me mad! Now it just reduces me to a fit of giggles.

I just felt I should share this.
