I know what you mean, if I really hate something, I stay quiet. If it's something that just needs a little tweak to make it better, I will say so.
It's really difficult though as you may crush someone who's just starting out and they'll lose confidence.
I really did want constructive criticism though, as if I make loads of them and then they're not popular, it's a waste of time and materials.
I suppose I have enough confidence in my work as I've been going for quite a while not to be absolutely gutted if someone says they don't like something.
It would be unrealistic though to expect everyone to like my style of work.
It's just as well that we all have different tastes as our work would get so boring.
'Nail on the head' moment there.It would be unrealistic though to expect everyone to like my style of work.
I personally like it in the original length and the stumpy length.

I am loving that and i love the texture that the wings have.
I really love it, my business is called 'dragonfly' because I think they are beautiful. I like what you've done with the enamel. I've just bought a book on the process so it's great to see what is possible.
As to the body length - mmmm I think you may get away with both versions. The shorter version will have slightly better balance but the longer version comes across as a stylised impression and as you haven't gone for the obvious irredescent colouring I think it works.

All things are possible - if you look at them the right way!
I love it too. The wings are gorgeous, and I can imagine a whole lovely line of insects and flowers in that style. I think the stumpy version will probably sell better, but personally, I think the longer one is so stylish.

I love that too, and my only comment would have been about the length of the body being a bit too long as well.
