Just wondering why does it take along time for some members here to help others?

Blame the internet hate machine.

Because the internet is full of bitter, spiteful people.

>>1 This isn't a help site. Depending on the kind of help you are looking for, some of us may decide to help you out of the kindness of our hearts, but it's not a requirement. If you really need help, look elsewhere.

If you need site related help, ask the mods. Best place to go is the IRC channel.

Beyond that, all bets are off.

OP, crit here is hit or miss. It all depends on what you are asking for. Most people who aren't artists can't or don't give helpful critique, because unless there is something blatantly wrong with an image, they aren't going to be able to point it out. Like, they will know there is something wrong, but not quite just what. And many artists aren't as good at giving critique as they are at drawing. Others it is the opposite.

Also, if your art is not eye catching or of a significant interest of people, it will be passed up plain and simple.

Also, this is mainly a porn site, so mainly people pay attention to the porn and less to the /crit board, unless there is something sexy there.

Finally, if your art is not up to par with the red text on the top of the page, people won't talk to you, or the only help you will get is they will point you in the direction of the text files at the top of the page. People don't like having to explain the same things over and over again, and blatantly bad anatomy and how to fix it is one of those things. I can't tell who you are, so I don't know if this is your problem.

Also, like 7 said, people help because they care, and they can, not because they have to. Others simply don't have time. And of course there are the trolls who just want to cause issues, and the people who consider you as attention whoring and instead of helping, make fun of you for it. Why? Who knows? Some do it for the lols, others because that is just who they are.

If you want help I may suggest Jaxpad. They are a sister site to Artspots, which has forums based solely on critique and helping artists improve, and in time you might be considered good enough for Artspots where you can host your art there as well.

I have, for the most part, stopped using /crit because of this.

Good luck.

Other than that, enjoy the porn... and /c if you like stopping in there every now and then.

>>9 Easy. Somewhere to the left of this box is a menu. Look for the *misc section. You'll see a link for IRC-Chat, which gives you information on how to access the chat with your own IRC client. Then right next to that it says (Web). If you click on that it will open a browser window/tab and the IRC will just load up for you.

General requests for pictures go in /req. Yes it is slow, but that is how it happens. Maybe someone will come along and be able to help you.

MIRC is not going to help you here. Fchan is not going to reformat because you need help finding certain pictures. Your problem is not the format of the site, but the fact you are requesting something that either a: does not exist, or b: no one knows exists or has.

As far as source goes, many people come across art on sites like fchan and not an artists site. Others don't care about the artist and just save the art, as happens on FA. So likely, no one knows, or at least, saved the image so fast they didn't catch the artist's name. Some, may not even be paying attention to the thread anymore once they posted their content and looked over the thread once or twice.

Finally you can't really expect people to be on the internet when you are in order to help you. Some people might have a slow connection or a busy life and thus haven't been back to fchan in some time.

So please don't blame the people here for not being able to help you. Likely they aren't being rude in this case, they probably simply don't know.

In other news you might find Drider stuff on Rule34. Google it. They specialize in raping the media and killing your childhood.

Sometimes when I am bored I like to search for old posts that were never answered and find the answer, but that takes time.  Also, we're busy looking at / drawing pics!  DUH!

>>9 >>12 OK, wait. I misunderstood you when you asked for "help." You're not looking for "help." You're requesting pictures. There's a difference. :)

Here's how it works, James. It's fine to ask if anyone has a certain kind of picture in a thread like that, but if the picture doesn't exist, or if the audience doesn't have that kind of picture, you're not going to get it. Them's the breaks, jake.

You may have better luck requesting them in /req/. The "req" is short for "request." That's what the /req/ board was made for. However, making a request is no guarantee that someone will draw the picture for you. The request has to actually be seen by people who draw that kind of imagery, and they have to be feeling generous enough to draw the picture for you.

Your best bet is to find an artist who draws that kind of image and commission them. Once the artist accepts the job, chances are very high that your picture will pop out of the works sometime in the future.

Other than that, it's nice that you're enthusiastic about your favorite art subjects, but please understand that, while we're generally pretty helpful around here, we can't meet all of your desires. Have a nice day, and happy fchan surfing.

Well If I post pics on 4Chan even those of an furry nature on /b/ Random I'll get banned for that and I don't want that.  So asking there is out the question.  I just finally got back on the site.  So it is better to get the help here then over in 4Chan.  The people here are nicer then those over in 4Chan.

>>15
Well small problem with that is my income I get does not afford me to commission anyone for those pics.  I am asking is from message >>9 is are there more pics like the ones I like to have?
