I don't post here very often mainly because it's not IPhone/smartphone friendly. This and sepentors lair are the coolest forums don't get me wrong. I often feel unwelcomed at times because I get the same group of guys commenting on my work ( thanks by the way!!!) So I tend to stay on Facebook more.

Yeah, maybe you can count me as one who is often guilty of this. Maybe we should all ring in more often for the simple fact that customizers are often the only ones moving the hobby in any sort of direction when Hasbro has us in Limbo.
Time for another honest confession: part of my problem is that I consider myself an astute critic and a lot of these customs just don't seem that good. I dont want to hurt feelings. I tend to only ring in on things that are either ambitious, very well executed, or extremely creative. From my perspective it appears customizers just don't seem to have the best idea of what they want to do or how to get there more than it is from any real lack of skill. I myself have only dabbled in customs and my skills are very lacking. I'm critical, but acknowledge that I have shown very little talent so far.

I'm guilty of being a "Look-no-comment" attitude as well, but mainly because of frustration (never disinterest. I absolutely love the customes here, from blood brigade vehicle concepts , phantro transforming bots, monte and nighthawk lbc and the mayhem crew painted customs. As well as the dio shots and iok toy reviews as well). My frustration comes from (you guess it) lack of feedback. I usually post my customs on just two threads mainly to get feedback and tips from the community so I could improve my skills (and negative criticism is more favorable in my opinion cause I could see what I did wrong). Like phantro said, I tried some of my customs in a separate thread and provided the right amount of presentation and pics for others to view it appropriately (to which it generated a positive and front page buzz) so pics and presentation is one key ingredient to generate feedback, but the crucial criticism (be it good or bad) is still missing so I'm torn if what I did is really good or it's just "I'm saying this is good just so I don't offend you". I already finish some of my projects but I'm currently in the fence showing it here because of this so I usually just show it to some close friends here and flicker to get the needed commentary for improvement.

Phantro made some very good points.I would also like to add that I love doing this it's my own personal hobby and sharing it is also fun.I do like to cater to the fans sometimes,like I'm not big on dreadnoks or commando style Snake Eyes.Yet I have made customs and artwork that feature them cause I know how many enjoy it and maybe even more yet..my own personal take on that.It's a step outside my norm and that's also neat to take on.
