Oh I am really sorry I didn't realize what really happened until I read the other critique. I am terribly sorry for judging too lightly. I will never do it again and I hope I could critique your artwork better.

Vision: This was definitely a perfect introduction to your exhibition. I've looked at your gallery on dA and the beauty of it is representative of your signature style. There is consistency. A theme.
Originality: Even though I've given you five stars for all criterions, I believe 'originality' is the biggest strength of this. You have broken away from the typical conventions of graffiti. I'll explain further.
Technique: Your choice of medium is what makes 'about a new place' original. You opted for acrylic instead of aerosol paint which is commonly used to create graffiti. And your execution is amazing. I admit that I wondered how come after being in contact with rain the paint still remained. I did a little research and found on wikipedia that acrylic "become[s] water-resistant when dry."
Impact: Another element that makes this original is, as I mentioned in 'vision', it's characteristic of you. And your style is different from graffiti, in particular that found in hip hop culture. Of course it's not a matter of your style is better than typical graffiti or vice versa. I have a large respect for all artists who express themselves as individuals, regardless of whether I like their style or not. But I do like the soft femininity of this in the way you painted the butterflies, the colours, and the woman. I particularly love the paint drip effect, a trait inherent in your style.
You have brought your art to a new canvas, a wall. Brilliantly done.

This piece is amazing. And even more so that its is on a garden wall! I've watched your videos on YouTube for years now and I think that all your work is inspiring but this has to be by far my favourite. Everything about it makes me feel like I could stare at it all day. I've seen some people leave criticism on your work before saying you over do it but I can't see any mistakes with this or any of the pieces. It really does inspire me and makes me want to go and paint over the outside of my house! The work doesn't even look like its actually on the wall! It looks as though its been superimposed there which makes me love it more knowing that its acrylic. I would love to attempt to paint something like this!

First off, let me start by saying I have absolutely no artistic knowledge at all, nor do I believe I have anywhere near this type of talent. So, that being said, I'm a dad and a husband, and we all, as a family, found this and were immediately drawn to it. I think it's beautiful, we thought the video was fun, and that the end result is stunning. You have talent, an obvious love for what you do, and simply put we were happy you did it. Plus, my little girl loves the butterflies. Please keep it up and we look forward to more of your work. Thanks!!

Honey. Oh, honey.
Do tell, does it make you feel better about yourself to down-grade this person's amazing work? Well, does it?
I'm sorry, but if you're trying to feel good about yourself, you really do need a new method. I'm not saying you're horrible and I hate you and go to hell. Because I don't want any such things to come about.
All I ask, is that you really take the time to think about someone else. It's not difficult. And it doesn't hurt. Just try not to seek so much attention. I'm only telling you this because of all the hate people are firing mercilessly in your direction. What you need to do is not hate back at them, but take a good hard look at yourself and maybe you'll understand why people say these things.
The only way you'll be liked, and gain any respect, is to give that same thing back first. This is a two-way street. Positive attention is NOT something you can just ask for and expect someone to give to you. You have to actually give them a reason to want to talk to you, or to be your friend, or who knows, maybe even give you a 'llama'.
Please, please, please, don't be this way just for the attention. All this is doing to you is making you come across as a terrible person, and I don't want to think that's what you are. You might feel better about yourself if you start drawing pictures with happier themes. Even if what's in them might not be how you actually feel, you may find it helps you to feel good about yourself without completely disrespecting another person. Take the matter into your own hands, and stop asking everyone else to take pity on you. I mean it. I don't hate you. This isn't a mean or disrespectful comment. I'm saying all this, because you're probably a nice person. Deep down.

There's paint everywhere because she used paint. You damned ignorant troll. Yes, you do have a right to express you opinion, everyone does, but this is a critique. You're meant to critique it fairly with proper grammar and a proper attitude, not this crap of a critique that butchers the english language.
agnes-cecile is a wonderful artist and for her to receive such a pathetic and worthless critique from a troll is insulting. You better fix your attitude, you brat, because we deviants are going to get you off of deviantART any way we can.

Are you, like, the new Tara? (For those of you who read fanfiction) because your grammar is horrid. I agree that you have the right to express your feelings, but before you do I'd like you to look up the definition of 'critique'. Also, the butterflies may be unoriginal (in your opinion), it's been done before, yeah, but then again, what hasn't? That whole emo act and crappy grammar while writing a story also with crappy grammar has been done before. And in case you didn't know, this is the artist style, and I'd very much like it if you would at least show a little respect, even if you never get any. Ta-ta, and good day, you fail, nice job living up to your user name!

You could NEVER in your whole entire life paint something good as this.
And I don't like telling people this, but your art an literature is like crap compared to the art you've "critiqued" on.

Hopeless.
Shut up. Seriously.
NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.
Seriously. We hate you.
A lot of us wish you would die.
As do I.
So go cut yourself correctly.

Just the thoughts most people should have towards her. Shame on those who don't.

My other dA friend wrote an amazing paragraph to her a while back (all of us thought it was really amazing and heartfelt, coming from her). All she got back as a response was "to long dint red".
And all the other comments she has, the critiques, they make me so mad.
I even made my first critique for an artist she insulted, but on a different picture.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course she did. She does that to anyone who gives a thought out response to her. Because she can't read. Too much reading hurts her miniscule brain. For people like her, the only comments that should be made are short, straight to the point attacks.

Seeing as you didn't read my comment at the last "critique", here is what I have to say. Again. I think everyone turned stupid reading your dribble.
