Guys
I'm going to be as nice as I possibly can when I say this
Hours of work doesn't always equal skill
Look, I used to spend hours on stuff that, honestly, looked like complete shit
This, for example: http://mellow-match.deviantart.com/art/Gorillaz-OC-Red-217434495
I'm not saying that you're terrible if you don't make it into a group based on your skill level
And, again, I'm trying to be nice, but you should be mature enough to accept what is said and just work on improving so you can prove to whomever that you've got not only the skill, but also the will to be in groups like pixel gift groups
Groups like those are always going to be
