[@gracekim1998]

Paper Boat you mean getting actual constructive criticism?

[@palindinX]

The problem with negative criticism is that 9 times out of 10 the person words it as if it's a "demand", like "Don't use this feature/trait for your OC!" or "Your OC's colors are bad! Change them lol!" "Your OC is too OP! (no real explanation to explain exactly how though)". That's not really criticism, even if they're somewhat true, maybe if they said something like "Is there a particular reason you gave your OC this trait? Does it really help them stand out or is it just too much?" "You have a lot of clashing colors on your character, the colors are all trying too hard to gain individual attention. Did you ever try making different colored variations for you character just to see what they look like in different ways?". Criticism that legitimately makes the one receiving it question their own work is, in my opinion, the best way to do it.

[@Tyandaga]

Very well said, and absolutely agree ^.^

Well we should take even the negative criticisms like "demand" but we should take them as general public opinion. And so we should look into other criticisms and by yourself what these previous people mean in particular, and maybe, just maybe adjust to it.

[@easysqweasy]

If they call an oc powerful, they should explain why if its not obvious if they're a mary sue/gary stu then yeah easy explanation (oc is op, they're a mary sue/gary stu and has too much [insert stuff here]) if not, *e x p l a i n*

[@dollgrl]

I really don’t mind negative/constructive criticism, it can actually help you with your art and ocs! What really ticks me off though is when someone says “ew your oc is gross and stupid” without any reason for saying why. Like, that’s not helping, AT ALL. It’s just pure hate that gets annoying after a while.

[@dollgrl]

[@Ejiro__Kirishima]

Constructive criticism is something I will take, plain unhelpful criticism is just annoying, but if someone says explicitly that they don’t want any or they don’t ask for it i wouldn’t give them any, just in case they are young and can’t handle it, Therefore they get discouraged. That isn’t something I’d wanna do.

[@AshePBlack]

Yea like when you make a oc for horror genre and they say its ugly or its looks dont have a function, and you have to remind them you made it in horror genre

[@laurenjones8196]

Negative criticism, but I feel like many people don't understand the difference between constructive negative criticism and just plain cyber bullying.

[@CLOVER71932]

Constructive negative criticism is actually quite fun to argue with, it almost always ends up with both parties learning something they didnt previously know. It also feels really good to whip out your brain muscles, work them hard and come out as a winner. However i get what your saying; bullies and close minded people that refuse to listen to reason, theyre just not worth the effort.

Honestly, it's good to change your OC, but not because somebody says it sucks. But instead, because you get new ideas, wanna change something, basically; Because YOU want to change it!

[@Tyandaga]

Agreed x3

[@dragongirl4892]

As someone who draws, writes, and sings Constructive criticism is a MUST! In order to get better at either is to sometimes get opinions and advice from a third party. On the other hand, saying things like "oh I don't like your Oc" or "your Oc is a Mary Sue" doesn't help. You're not giving me reasons why this character is a mary sue, or advice on character design In conclusion, constructive criticism is very important and people should learn the difference between constructive and deconstructive criticism

[@Dawnshade1]

Agreed. Simply stating something is terrible and then not even saying why is not helpful in the slightest. In fact it can even devolve further into downright bullying behavior. Although I suppose we can also apply this to phrases like "I like this." or "You're OC is cool." while very kind and complementary, sometimes feel empty. Maybe I'm expecting too much but, I feel like balance between explain what's good and bad, as well as why is the best kind of criticism.

[@MrWereWolfGirl]

I always think before I say anything and then I'd go into detail like: "I don't like the eyes they are too big and too bright, try toning them down, it might help" etc. because I know how insanely frustrating it is to see: "your oc sucks" or "haha what a Mary Sue" comments that don't add anything to the conversation and that are not helping me improve because I don't know what I should change for you to like it. I feel like a lot of kids don't quiet understand that as most of that "it sucks" type of criticsm comes from younger people~

[@NightRaiderTea]

when i was younger, i thought it would be a good idea to make two alicorn sisters because i love the designs, but had it be that each one couldn't use the other's part, such as my first one having a broken horn so she couldn't use magic, and have the younger one have problems with flight so prefers using magic. In the end, I made the younger one a unicorn and the other a pegasus, Because I listened to others when they said my alicorns were mary sues, even if it was made so that they couldnt use one of the features. Also not only that but it was before we found out about twilight getting wings or cadence so i had thought they were born into the world, and now here I am, not even using the characters and instead using a hypogriff. - little off topic but eh thought I might as well say it.

[@movedto6118]

Yo you don’t need to change your OC because of what other people say- your original idea for the alicorns and the modified idea are both great! I’d love to hear more about these characters.

[@BlissfulHues13]

[@mysryuza]

I just discussed with someone on DA and criticised the logic of the info lack of info of the person's OC and apparently took offense from me suggesting tutorials or stuff like references to make their characters better. And the person's oc was criticized for being similar to another person's oc (popular for, in an ironically cheap way, paying mainly do commissions more than making her own art) because of the blonde hair and hair style when in face value from the info I read, the two compared characters are nowhere alike at all. And a day later, you posted a video about this situation. This was way too well timed, whether it was a coincidence or fate or neither! While I grew to like my character's old appearance over time, I actually forced myself to make a huge "rebirth" and boy nearly 2 years ago, and boy I'm glad I did. I changed my OC, Varuu/Varuna mainly because she was literally a rip-off character of a canon character by design and to prevent any future comments that criticize the old design. I actually tried to change the clothes over time and it took 2+ years to actually give Varuna the whole re-makeover.

[@latenightcherio1481]

I refuse to change my OCs for others. I love getting advice and hearing opinions on my characters. But when people are 100% negative I get angry

Dealt with negative criticism everyday in college. Even from professors. Leaders in their field. Funny thing is those did not even give any solutions. Most were passive aggressive complaints on why I had issues understanding topics. So that is where i draw the line. My work hit the objective and got the best grade. If i failed that class. I retook it with a better professor.

[@Midnight3Wonder]

I've dealt with criticism all my life. My parents taught me to always give it my all and to do with %110 but there were a lot of things I simply wasn't good at and got teased about it. Even though my mom always pushed me to be active in sports (as everyone else in my family was athletic in some way) I always sucked at them and was constantly made fun of for being not as fast or strong as the other kids. Not even my gym teachers thought I was taking the activities seriously because I was that bad at them even though I really did push myself to my limit to just try and keep up with someone. Even outside of sports, there weren't many things I was able to do and thus was teased for it like socializing and understanding problems. There were a lot of times when I was too afraid to speak because I was so afraid of someone making fun of me for any little thing. The only time when I was never criticized was in art class as I was the star student and the art teacher's favorite. I was free to express myself and really show everyone what I could really do and everyone loved it. There were even several times when the other kids would stop working on the project just to watch me work. My art teacher often asked me to help her demonstrate what we were going to do and people absolutely loved it. When I discovered DeviantArt, I felt confident to share my artwork with others and even made some pretty cool friends on the site. However, I did occasionally run into those who would say some rather horrible things about my artwork and even call me lazy when I started trying out a new digital art style one of my friends on DeviantArt told me about. I wasn't really hurt by his criticisms but I was greatly annoyed by his claims as they made no sense. He'd say things like "this isn't art" or "you're so lazy you can't even draw" to some really cool photoshop images I made to tell some stories. I kinda just did a face palm as it was a form of art and it wasn't something very lazy. It was quicker than my preferred art style, but that didn't make it any less easy. I tried explaining this to him but he just kept being a hater about it. I eventually just had to block him so he'd stop harassing me about it. I've also had some criticisms on KZbin with people saying that my videos were boring or lame, even though I worked really hard on them and so many others loved them. One person kept saying a bunch of rude things to some of my most loved videos and I simply asked them outright if they were a hater because of the things they said. They've stopped commenting on my videos but I doubt that'll be the end. I do my best to handle haters and try to calmly settle things between us peacefully. If things get too intense, I simply report that person if they're language gets far too foul for my kid-friendly channel or they simply will not stop harassing me even when I politely ask them to stop. I know the hate may never stop, but I can still try to ease things over without a fuss. I just wish I could handle myself in real life like I can on the internet. Unfortunately, I still have some terrible social skills and am not as confident in person as I am on the internet.

[@janickchristiansen7108]

(Midnight☪Wonder) your comment is one of the best and most detailed comments i have ever seen on youtube

[@zooli2068]

That's a really touching story, I hope things goes better for you! (sorry, my english isn't the best)

[@Midnight3Wonder]

Oh, thank you.

[@Midnight3Wonder]

Things have. I don't get bullied anymore now that I'm out of school (unless you count my sis who absolutely loves to tease me) and I'm very determined to make my dreams come true no matter whatever whoever says. When my dad found out I wanted to try to be a KZbinr, he wasn't exactly supportive and wouldn't listen to me when I tried to explain things. He's a pretty stubborn guy (a family trait) and is very set in his ways, making it near impossible to talk any sense into him. My mom was worried that he might have crushed my dreams but his words actually encouraged me to try harder and prove him wrong. The arguments he made are true of any job, not just KZbin. There were many times in my life when people didn't think I was capable of doing the things I wanted to do. Too many times I believed them and simply gave up before even trying. However, things changed for the better when I was in middle school. I didn't do too well in elementary school outside of art class as I have stated earlier, but I that was only because I wasn't getting the help I needed. I'm autistic so my brain doesn't exactly function the same as everyone else's and none of my teachers knew how to properly teach me. They taught me the same as they would anyone else and so I was lacking a proper education. One of my teachers even told my parents that I'd never do better than a C, and I was sitting right there with them! Luckily, my family moved to the other side of town right before I started middle school and so I entered a new school system. Incredibly, I finally had teachers who were willing to help me learn and give me the education I needed. I even ended up becoming really good friends with one of my teachers who has helped me throughout all of middle school. My family simply adores her. We even invited her to my high school graduation! Thanks to her and all my other wonderful teachers, I never got a grade below B and even got straight A's from time to time. I even made the honor roll and student of the month! Before, I would have never imagined myself capable of being able to do such things and thought I was doomed to be a failure. However, because of that, I am now able to challenge expectations and prove others wrong when they say I can't do something. So long as there's just one person who supports me, I know I can do whatever I set my mind to and show everyone what I'm really capable of!

[@BoiledGrassTea]

I miss their fun banter *nostalgia pushed to the max* Anyway, thank you for making such a thoughtful and encouraging video. I really enjoyed it ^_^

[@World_Theory]

Neat! It's also interesting to know you value criticism, because I've been thinking about saying something about your character's animation for quite a while… To be blunt, I think it would be good if you had some subtler poses for your OC; like: instead of only having one for tilting the ears back all the way, you could have more for the intermediate stages. The main reason I think it would be good, is that it would let you express feelings, make gestures, or use body language, that requires a smaller change in posture. So instead of signaling that your alarmed, you could signal that your a little surprised, or that you're simply alert and paying attention. And I'm not just referring to ears; that was just an example. I mean to include other limbs, too. (I could see that re-drawing the head for each intermediate angle would be probably the most labor intensive part, because the face is on the head.) If you do, do this: plan it out first. If you draw a bunch of new angles for the head, you might have to make up an entire subset of poses for all the animated features located on the head, to account for the change in angle. I suppose it wouldn't be too bad if you don't make new poses for the head, or you only make one, maybe two. Anyway… Hope this helps.

[@Yinnicattheminisansfangirl]

I felt like this was needed to be talked about a long time ago, I always see new young creators fall into depression because of such negative criticism and it was nice to hear someone explain how to deal with it.

Criticism is a way of life, if we all liked the same thing there wouldn't need to be a point in doing anything because we would all be part of a hive mind. Without Criticism there wouldn't be conversations of belief and confidence building a swell as building up the lack of confidence, nothing would ever get done and we would all fall into a internal status of static karma. A brief summery of what I believe at least but i agree with ya Ty, nice video as usual man~

[@brianaallbright3525]

This not only has to do with criticism in a KZbin setting; Tyandaga's message about dealing with negative criticism can be applied to any aspect of life. I am a person who tends to take criticism from others and use it to fuel my own criticisms for myself. It isn't healthy, and only adds to the negative load I'm carrying. But, because I'm trying out for a big leadership position at school pretty soon, I come to videos like these to remind me to use negative criticism as a positive fuel source towards bettering myself. And I do think I'm getting better at it :) Thank you for uploading, Tyandaga!

[@RaichuWizDom]

+Tyandaga "Have you ever had negative criticism?" People criticised the first few versions of my OC because he had bad colouring. They didn't use the word 'bad,' but rather a reference to excrements, let's say. I changed the colours, learned about colour theory in general, moved on. Some of the more popular stuff I've written came under fire a few times, but with a few of them I could talk it out. One of the stories involved bullying and had a scene where the bully was bullied, essentially, and some people took exception to that. But one of them in particular, after she calmed down, explained that this was a reaction because her younger brother used to get bullied and the story struck a nerve. That was worked out amicably, no problem. And then you have jerks, as in all walks of life. For that, there is a brand new innovation, cutting edge technology for those people who make everything personal. It's a wonderful new thing, it's called the block button. In all seriousness, part of the solution is knowing your audience. If you get a piece of bad criticism from someone who should be liking it, start to wonder. If you get the idea that nothing you do will suffice, ignore it and move on. You'll never please everyone, and the people you want to please and can please should take precedence over those you'll never be good enough for.

[@bashful_vixen2020]

RaichuWizDom thank you for sharing.

[@fairy3731]

Okay, 2 things to say: 1) It has been so long since I watched ur videos, and DANG! Ur oc has upgraded so much. 2) I never dealt with criticism on my ocs which is confusing since my main one was a alicorn, but her talent was drawing (she's based on me~). The only person that seemed to criticize it, was me. No one complained that it was a alicorn for no reason, but I felt wrong that it was. So I changed her into a unicorn however many people that made art of her changed her eye color to purple (her eye color was dark blue, but people mistook it for purple).

[@rory9913]

I got attacked for an oc just because they had differently colored eyes, and they were called a Mary-Sue. At the time I was 12 and I didn't understand what that meant. It hurt so terribly that everyone was hating on me for something I didn't know was 'wrong' But taking it to heart really helped me fix her and tone down her colors, and even though she still has one yellow and one green eye, it's not as harsh and Mary-Sue like as before. Sometimes, getting your feelings hurt really helps ^w^!!

[@MrWereWolfGirl]

I feel like we all learn over time :) I used to throw every random color on the oc I was making at the beginning, bright yellow and bright green? No problem! Full rainbow? Done! But I learned to match colors and tone down the number of colors I am adding over the years, you learn as you go along ^^ But I still make colorful characters, but only when I feel like it fits like when I was doing rainbow pride wolf pack when I drew a wolf with colors from each pride flag and pan came out really colorful and so did rainbow one, and autism awareness one was the same :)

[@Moocow2003]

Heterochromia isn't necessarily a trait of a bad design! I like having odd eyes on plain OCs (like a white animal with one blue & one yellow eye is my absolute weakness haha). There definitely is such thing as too much, and I get that with MLP the line is a loooot thinner than with other fandoms (the canon characters are multicoloured anyway in MLP) but finding that balance, whilst not all-important, is nice. If you're happy with your 'bad' OC then that's fantastic!

[@helenmccallum143]

Yeah heterocromia

[@rea2733]

Mary Sue is often used in the wrong way. A Mary Sue is used to describe a way a character's personality, but people think that it's also based on colors and looks. If a character has bright colors and different colored eyes that does not make it a Mary Sue. A Mary Sue is a character that's pretty much perfect

[@descendantgaming5410]

Your oc having two different colored eyse doesn always mean "Mary-sue". Your oc sounds nice

[@irrelevantperson785]

I like how your style and the way you draw your OC has evolved over time. It looks less like a pony now and more like a deer. Good job!

[@kaciekk]

I think the only criticism I've ever got was completely hate, like they had nothing for me to learn from. Stuff like "this is cancer " and similar. Well, there was one I found recently that was worse than anything I have ever seen in my entire life, but not just that, it was completely inaccurate.

[@Volron265]

To be honest, when I found your channel, I kind of binge watched all of the OC videos and held my character up to them. I wanted to see how my hours of writing and development caused my character to stack against what was said in the videos.Thankfully, she stood up to the test. Keep up the good work on the videos, mate!

[@spicyulsa9464]

My friend gets hate pretty often, and i tell her not to fight back to the hate. She doesn't listen. She ends up arguing and causing a lot of drama with them. I don't want her to be involved in such negativity. I try giving her tips on handling it, but she doesn't even reply to my message.

[@dinodare1605]

You are an inspiration! A lot of extremely popular content creators managed to get that way shrugging off anything negative as hate. And they're the ones that are getting caught up in all of the internet drama. Because if there are a couple dozen KZbin comments pointing out an issue when your channel has 100 subscribers, how many do you think will point it out if you now have 3 million and haven't fixed it?

[@FireArtcomments]

I had to deal with negativ critisism some times already. Whether it was on my oc or on my videos on KZbin. I most times reply with explaining it to them. Like often they don't like that I have a pony alicorn oc, which has a broken horn. I then tell them why I use a pony oc/alicorn. Most times they kinda understand or don't reply anymore.

[@ambermoon2326]

I think it's super important to be open to bettering yourself. Hopefully the criticism you receive is nice and clear cut to help you better yourself, but there will be times you need to listen to those negative comments as well. There was a fic I was reading that I just couldn't stand, and I tried to make it clear to the author what they might want to change and tried to do it in the nicest way possible, and they flat out ignored me and threw my criticism away. That is not a good mindset to have, it's good to take constructive criticism into account! A lot of people need to learn this!

Heya Tyandaga!!! I really wanted to say that I really enjoyed this video. It had really good points and to contrast, I actually watched your first video!!!

But I have to say, what drew me to your channel was your more fast paced way of talking, though it's slowed down A LOT since your first video.

[@Tyandaga]

N'awww, thank you! I appreciate you saying this x333

[@EmRose.r]

Tyandaga you're welcome!! And I really meant it too!!! We Canadians need to stick up for one another!!

[@ashy_artists9585]

At least you improved since then. I think you have good information about how to make your OC good for you and not for anyone else. I understand that you shouldn't let someone tell you what you want your OC to look like. I really like your OC!

[@freakco1388]

I hate negative criticism, if i believe someones work needed work I would say something like "That is great and I have a few suggestions on how to make it a bit better" then I would go into detail on things someone could do to fix there work, the only thing that I tend to fear is that the person might take things the wrong way and become upset with me, I feel awful when something like that happens I wrote this up on the last deleted video, but I saved it to leave it here.

[@DrummerrDuckie]

This helped open my mind a bit about negativity. Thank you for teaching me this, I think it will prove to be quite useful.

[@InsertSona]

Tbh I don't care about hate and negativity XD Although I do like criticism sometimes lol. Anyway great as usual!

[@Tyandaga]

Thank you! x3

[@joeashker141]

Great video! I’m not in the MLP fandom however I often find myself on your channel. Please keep up the great work! As an artist and animator, I know that it is necessary to have constructive criticism to improve your work. Though some people aren’t very good at phrasing they can still have some actually helpful content within their comments! I am also very surprised you can read all of your comments! I have had multiple accounts of you replying (which warms my heart). This comment is pretty scattered so I going to stop typing before I get carried away! I basically am saying keep up the good work and props to anybody that makes things ;)

[@Lunamoon-eo5nv]

Most of my negative comments I've had were that I cant draw horses....I still cant but I been trying

Exactly! And thanks!

Dear Tyganda, thank you for uploading this. I am somewhat new here on KZbin, so I occasionally face negative critisism. I face memers calling me a normie, being told that I ruin everything by shipping certain characters or being told to put ten bullets in my head. Yes, these were REAL hate comments I received. But after hearing some advice from my mom and from this video, it has helped me A LOT! I really appreciate this advice and also all the support I have gotten from everyone. So, again, thank you so much for posting this and thanks for making me feel better about my OC's and fursonas, as well as my other content (Drawings and videos). Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Big Donuts and Pink Cupcakes.

ofcourse ;) for me its more than just fine

[@marytina4125]

wishes and luck XD

[@inactivechannel7499]

wishes and luck he doesn't complain and he doesn't make rules. He just says what he thinks will be better for you to improve your OC. He's not saying his opinion is the only right one. He's not forcing you to listen to him and believe him, but saying "whatever you do never listen to him" is not very... Right. Well, at least this is my opinion.

[@tyvan5696]

I know how you feel I have been bullied my whole life and I still come out on top every time we just need to push through it because things can only get better. In my personal experience as a young adult with Asperger’s syndrome I deal with criticism and stress through marshal arts and cycling, so thus I have risen above my fears and self doubts knowing that They don’t have a leg to stand on if it comes to confrontation. And it has come to that before. Don’t worry about him we’re actually friends now. That’s the magic of friendship

[@Lumiixi]

Will carry little bit away.. I think your speed of talking is fine :D English isn't my main language, I am learning it only at school and can perfectly understand you in every of your videos :D And OC criticism.. Is totally fine :D I got much experience with my oc.. Many people like her, but also many people hate her because they think she's a perfect example of a cringe :0 (If is someone interested how does she look like, you can find her here ^^: Neolumini.deviantart.com, her name is Plasma ^^) I am using her as my main oc actually more than one year and.. Had many problems because of her design ^^' But it has little bit deeper sence ^^ Her image is kinda complicated and dark, like my mind irl :D And her inner character is simple.. Like my look irl ^^ (I really hope it's understandable XD) I tried to get rid of criticism by explaining why does she look like that way she looks like and many people got it and stopped hating me :D And others.. Well.. I just ignored them :D (I guess it isn't the best way how to get rid of criticism, but it's their turn to understand me ^^ I totally got them, now they should get me :D) That's my opinion ^^ Btw: Really love your videos, I am always happy when someone likes explaining and talking about pony stuff publicaly :D there are many bronies and speedpainters and stuff, but you are really unique ^^

[@citybirds7408]

LumiPøny Stunning oc! It’s beautiful!

[@Ben-lc1nc]

Honestly, I’ve had a lot of criticism with my own art, and I’m really happy for it. In fact, one of the things we do in my art class despite many not liking to is to have art critiques at the end of projects in order for us to understand that in order to improve, others looks on a piece will point out areas that need work. The last 3 years for me I’ve improved drastically from listening to my classmates, and to those online. Not only has my artwork overall improved, but my character designs, and being able to handle when others take the criticism too far, or use it to be destructive. I know many may not like to hear it, and sometimes I don’t either but I also take it as a challenge of sorts to continue improving, and so I know how to maybe someday give the same advice to other artists in a way that they’d benefit, and maybe not have to get past the crude way the tips are given.

[@CatBandit_]

Love your videos

[@Tyandaga]

N'aww, thank you! x3

[@Camish_and_the_oc_gang]

I often create OC’s that change the course of the story completely, and a lot of people say that that’s not what you should do. I think that might be because I always start writing my OC’s as myself, and then change it as much as I think fit, but the way of acting of the character is still what I would do if put in that scenario. And I’ve tried to keep my OC’s as close to a background charachter as I can, but that’s not really what I’m used to and it’s hard, so I never post my OC’s online because I know people will still say that it’s way to much and it interferes with the canon and so sharing it feels like sharing a Mary Sue, because it’s too close to the main characters and takes too much importance, no matter how many flaws it has

[@tess3446]

Nice video! Good Job!

[@Tyandaga]

Thank you! x33

[@tess3446]

Tyandaga No problem :3

[@govermet]

A very interesting take on an episode. I really like the little "animations" on you character throughout the video. Yes criticism will follow you through your life. Even though I should know better I take some critics personally, mostly when I know I am right or someone is arguing with me about the fastest or easiest way to get things done, if I am doing it like this for years. A great Example is my "bad" handwriting, even though in the end everyone can read it. When I was young I tried to improve it, but to no avail for a month. Talking about OCs, since sadly only 1 of my friends knows about MLP I dont have people to talk about my OC, not mentioning improving it in the aspects of backstory etc.

Hm, Well, I Haven’t Dealt With Criticism (Yet) On My Channel. But Here’s How I Would Have/Had Dealt With It: 1: “Your Quality Video Sucks Badly!” Respond(RS): “I Am Sorry Then If My Videos Aren’t As Good As The Others, But This Is The Best I Can Do To Record My Videos. But There Are Other Channels And Videos That Are Better Than This If You Are Disgusted For What I Do” 2: “Why Do You Draw On Paper? I’ve Seen Nine Year Olds Use Programs And At Least Their Videos Are Good” RS: “Then Please Do Not Bother Me On Telling Me This Information. I Know There Are People Who Are Better Than Me On Some Things” So Far, Those Two Of What I THINK People Will Say To Me IF I Had/Have To Dealt With These Kind Of Criticism. But I Hope You Have A Happy Goodie Day :3

[@purrpletiger2159]

RandomGirlGamer (RGG) I That's not criticism, it's destructive criticism. Criticism is supposed to point out specific flaws you can work on and specific strengths you can keep.

You're free to type however you want, but this particular quirk comes off as obnoxious. And attention-seeking. Also really hard to read. So don't be surprised if people get ticked off or outright ignore you because they can't be bothered.

[@thedreamchasers7252]

Great video Tyandaga, love watching your videos. Most people need to learn how to use constructive criticism. Make your stances, do you like the work, don’t like the work, or are indifferent Next explain why you do or don’t like it. Even if you do like the work, let the artist know what they can do to improve upon it. The key is to elaborate. Here you go everyone, please take and learn from this comment, for the benefit of you and others. Made with love

I've been making pony content for literally YEARS on my DeviantArt. From doll makers to base edits (which I still do for fun, it's so relaxing) to eventually having my own style. I've also gone from design hoarding to actually using my OCs for stories via Next Gen! I've received a lot of praise over the years, but also a lot of criticism. "Those colors don't look right together, the saturation's off, their special talent is too niche, their cutie mark is too complex" ect ect. Not all of those critiques were so nice but it really did help me as a designer and an artist not only in the pony community but in overall art in general! Something else about criticism that is super important to remember is to listen to repeats. If every time you post your OC and you keep getting the same similar critiques, like stated, something may actually be wrong and you should work to fix that. It's never fun to hear someone doesn't like what you've made but it's not always to be a bully. (PS your sona is super cute)

[@char.n3rd]

[@foxu7380]

I'm very new to your channel but you've spoken everything I always keep in mind. I even had the same kind of conversation earlier this morning! its always good to have an outside eye, be it negative or positive, to see what you don't see so you can fix it. Sure it hurts, but our emotions and bodies tend to become immune to these things day by day just like everything else in our daily lives. its just a part of life. it sucks, and sometimes we don't deserve it but there's always something to learn from it, because we change all the time.

I’m honestly glad for some of the negative criticism I’ve received, because if it wasn’t for that, my main OC wouldn’t be as she is today. She used to be so cringe and OP, but because of the criticism, I’ve pretty much changed here entire story and created something that I like, and everyone else does too. Without that criticism, I wouldn’t have started a whole fanfic for my main OC.

Your oc is acually my favorite in the whole famdom. Its super creative and it looks different from the deer in mlp.

[@Wrathgir]

I really can relate and yes I have myself gotten many negative criticism and bad comments about some of my stuff over the years. I At first when I was younger took it to heart and it hurt me in many ways. Then I think about it after a day and I then realize and try to improve on what the criticism was. Yes I look back from time to time at my artwork in general and see how much of an improvement I have gotten, but I look back at the comments also and I don't ignore it. Some that weren't well thought out comments I do ignore that they just say it sucks, but don't give reasons why. I just strive to improve whether it be videos or art. Also this was the first time seeing your videos I believe and I really love your OC Deer. Just the overall design of him is simple, yet it looks unique. Keep up the amazing videos and will watch more of them.

[@WinterBlissy]

I've seen a few youtube videos on hate for alicorns, and since my first oc was an alicorn, I would always pretend she was just a pegasus whenever I talked about her to other people.... (I can't help that I feel like all three fit me so perfectly!! D:) Finally, I just decided that she had enough backstory to counter the alicorn super powers and fame. ^-^ Yes she's an alicorn and grew up in Canterlot with the royal sisters as her guardians, but she went through traumatic experiences in losing her parents and tried to give up the royal image. She refuses to wear her crown and shies away from guards saluting her. To me, that felt like justification for adding an alicorn oc to the fandom.

[@poppytsuki3625]

Honestly negative critism for me has really been helpful, I was given great advice on how to make some of my poses look better, make the body types look less awkward, or how to make my OC look just a bit more original to keep her colors blending well. Though....once I did meet a person who was extreme about getting critism on their characters. They used very hurtful to the eye colors, and if we so much as suggested that they maybe should turn down the neon on their next OC they'd start to threaten to hurt themselves or say that everyone hated them. Even though we hadn't insulted them. That way of handing critism is wrong, but not because they choose to ignore it, because they choose to villianize it and make a huge deal out of something very small and politely pointed out.

[@psychomeow6164]

Owo ur oc is adorable UvU edit: me and my sister when they watch u get happy every time we see a deer oc because like deers are adorable!

[@Zombie_Fever]

I get negative criticism on some of my work sometimes and I see like how you said if it has any truth in it and I do fix it usually I come to my parents if I need help with something and if they say something like hey you didn’t animate/draw this correctly maybe you should do this or that to fix it so I take their advice and I do it, it has made me much better at so many different things and I am very grateful for it.

[@FluffDragonArt]

In my very first KZbin videos, I got a criticism that I had, and I quote, "an ugly face". That hurt. A LOT. But, while I do acknowledge that all have a natural beauty (including myself), I did find out that my hair color and makeup were doing no favors for me on camera. I can laugh about it now that I've learned how to fix that issue. Thank you for your words of wisdom on this subject. It's so very true that even the worst comments can hold advice when it comes to bettering yourself. As long as you don't take it personally and with a grain of salt.

[@paigesonzogni652]

[@Lucky_Ace]

This vid helped me feel so much better about my art work I always wondered what to do with that kind of stuff so thank u so so so much Tyandaga

[@Ravethecat12]

I think it's also important to know the line between criticism and being an ass to someone. Some people take actual criticism as being rude or hurting the artists feelings but if you get hurt by criticism you'll never improve. It's always good to tell a creator what you think (keeping in mind that the criticism is constructive not just saying something is bad and not giving an actual reason to WHY it's bad.)

[@IonicNebula]

One reason I ran into for all the negative criticism was that I was a teenager when I first started watching MLP. And as much as I tried not to be, I was still... how you say... edgy. A lot of them had dark backstories or major flaws, some couldn't talk, others were literally insane. I made at least 30 of them on whims! As I got older the critcisim helped me honestly narrow them down to a good 8 that I have today, and only 1 of them is even remotely dark! And plus, your OC upon creation is the same as a first draft of an essay; it's raw, it could probably be refined and it's not by any means perfect. That isn't to say they can't be good! Just that you have to work at them. The longer you write and work, and the more criticism you take in, the better you will get, as long as you don't shut down altogether and ignore it all. Great Video!

[@ChimkenPies]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! I was told that I copied someone's art work with my channel mascot when I truly didn't. I ignored that comment and continued life. I'm just starting to watch your vids and they're really good, funny, and just amazing. I like how colorful your oc is and the idea of having a deer. I have a hard time being creative and choosing colors and this has been happening for a long time now. I'm still learning with ocs that I see. You've also earned a subscriber!!!!!
