About this image

Ok... lets start...
I got good friends here, and i can say a big thank you for that to the site!
But also there is a sensitive thing, what is called: endorsement.
The idea is basically great, but also i sadly noticed it is not working well...
Some people who are poplular can get many endos with much less work and results than some people who are not popular, work a lot with 1-2 really nice set... and got endos almost just from friends.
But you know, i love my friends here...
If you are upset due the endos, think to your friends!
Have fun, and make good pictures and friendships!
... And hail to nexus!

    That is right...a comment is more valuable than a simply endorsment. I sign that too. But for myself, an endorsement is good to show my respect to the arists around here quickly, because english is not my native language. So it took more time of me to phrase good comments for every great capture, story or idea behind the posting. I wish could show the proper respect with postings......but i can´t....far to little time....and here are so many lost treasures it is a shame...

    And please excuse my english.....

    I'm attending just this part of Nexus and I must say that I really enjoyed. But I also found the same problems reported. But it does not give me too much frustration at the time. For me Skyrim is a kind of amusement park, I am personally far from finishing the game and "screenshootin" is further prolonging the journey, then fine.
    Personally I do not offend photographing faces or bodies, and you know that this attracts endorsements much more than other things but there are various ways to do it more or less artistic to do so.
    if anything, the problems lie in the fact:
    1) there is never a criticism, there is only indifference that is the thing you fear most also because it is not easy to interpret in its contents.
    2) the difference between a good job and a mediocre one is often caused by the power of the hardware available, which in this type of thing seems to me to have an important role. Of ideas then I do not see many.
    3) the user here reflects the mentality of the mainstream. most of the artists did hunger throughout life, but it has not stopped doing what he did because no one filled them with praise or endorsements. We can not expect that everyone can appreciate different artistic values??, when most users are simply players who bring their own character in an attempt to win a beauty contest.
    5) Strange, should have already figured out that the coolest character of all is mine. )
    6) Honestly, I like them more than the comments that endorsements. A comment is an emotional reaction, a possibility of human relationship, push a button is a thing of much less importance.
    7) Do you want to make art? Forget the ego.
    But why every time I go into a comunity people leaving?
    4) (was lost) I'll keep looking at your work and read your story and fill you with endorsements.

    Well, there's always the option to start a group on Deviant Art for the like minded...I'm starting to upload some SS on DA only and some here.
     
    Needless to say that I'm guilty of posting some face/sexy shots myself, but even so I'm not even near the top even more be know, so the doll faces or sexy that's not a rule, it's a exception...hell my most endorsed ss it's a random shot with my character kneeled in the middle of a side road.

    Yup. This is true. Especially for the fellow writers on here who just want to get their stories out there and read. I wish there was a site for skyim fanfic! Hope you don't leave altogether fgem!

    with the popularity is true. if someone is not as well known, or has a name. it is difficult to get attention for your own pictures.
    that's kind of a shame ..

    Thank you very much for the comments! I totally agree with you, though... as you can see i am making female shots, but i try to put so many art to my pics, as its possible.

    This is really how i feel about endorsments as well. I have taken alot of pictures, but alot of them havent been posted on the nexus because i am always a bit afraid of not getting enough endorsments or comments. Thisis why i usually disable endorsing of my pictures, because i've always been afraid of not getting accepted and liked. And as you mentioned, alot of "popular" users get so much more attention than others, and that to me is a bit unfair. I see alot of pictures every single day that i personally think is amazing, and i think alot of those people who aren't as "popular" as others, also need some attention. And i am not saying that "popular" people don't use time with their own pictures, but that there are alot of people who deserves some time in the spotlight as well.

    HAIL to the best community ever!

      One of the reasons I always end up being upset at nexus and delete all my stuff. This combined with nexus' obsession for (female) face shots or sexiness and general disregard for pretty much anything else.

      Yeah, i see alot of beautiful shots that may have 15 views, but when a skimpy model shows up in the next picture, it has 100 views.. Nexus, you have a problem :3

      It's true! ... here are users with amazing images that are lost in a lot of pictures that sometimes only show positions "sexy" and the same faces "dolls" as always. This is not bad ... but sometimes it´s just 3 pags of the same whole. Furthermore, always the same people in the top, every week you see the same people ... there's no denying, shots are wonderful (I've endorsed) but can not be that with so many people, the same names will be always there... =S

    God, how I wish I could speak my mind about this matter freely without getting banned, but hence that is not going to happen.
