Awww, did I hurt your feelings? You got offended when I said I didn't see how people can be shocked from the fact that people like myself can draw a character quickly? Maybe next time try not getting involved in conversations that don't concern you if you don't have the backbone to take the criticism when you say something stupid, because the fact that you are the only one who got butthurt enough to write me this nonsense isn't a coincidence. But hey you're the one who admitted you were smooth brained, not me. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Hey! I'm in the christmas spirit! I'm too old to be getting mad about people on the internet, in fact I think that conversation was mostly funny. Here I am trying to make a point about why I'm able to draw quickly, and a poor soul misrepresents my statements and decides to be offended. I'm not clever enough to hurl around good insults, and I am too much of a massive loser to have an ego. But if people wanna get mad for silly reasons, I think it's worth seeing how far their rage goes before they realize the blunder in their logic. Or laugh when they burst a blood vessel.

If it came across as bragging, then I apoligize. I don't recall anybody complaining about my responses, just stating that they didn't belive I could make a quality piece in the time I did and I was simply responding to them, nothing more nothing less. I also wasn't the one that started this conversation with a bunch of accusations and none of my responses were a bunch of completely out of character assertions. Saying I was the one that ruined this thread is disgustingly hypocritical on your part, but I'm perfectly willing to put a pin in this. And no, I'm not sending you a PM. This whole conversation was a massive waste of time purely because I was simply trying to get you to understand why what you were saying was silly and I even told you I was willing to let this go since I could have worded my statements better. But you were adament on pushing this ridiclous narritive that I was some type of art elitist when that very much wasn't true.


If you don't have the courtesy to care about how l feel, I don't know why I should care what you think.


Bye.
