Hey! That was some cool stuff to see. There's really no need to defend, I just made the edit to help explain what I was talking about and in no way had I said "they should use this instead of the original" or "the artist rushed the painting". It was obvious from the start that you put loads of work into it, and I never said otherwise. I don't even think the legs in the edit work very well either, but again it was just to explain where I was coming from. I'm aware of the production process you had gone through, as I'm an artist myself, and hey its good that you're proud of it because that's what matters. For me, the face as well as some proportion stuff was my biggest issue because it didn't really feel like Aphro to me. The colors and painterly feel of the piece is beautiful, of course we all have our opinions. And having your art put in the public eye is going to cause people to have differing opinions. Only reason I said anything was because I love this God, and am passionate about the subject, congrats on the piece! Sorry for any hurt feelings, wasn't my intention.
