| If you'd like me to critique one of your pieces then please just send me a note. I think I'm mainly able to offer critique for literature pieces, but I will try for other mediums. If I can't write you a critique that I feel is of a good quality then I'll try my best to write you a good constructive comment. I pay no attention to the popularity of a deviant, or the skill level of their other works when writing a critique. I won't even look at their other works until I've critiqued the piece in question in many cases, as I believe that a piece should be able to speak for itself and nothing else is relevant. |
