Don't worry. I'm okay with that.

Even my twitter profile says i'm a nerd. I stand up for it.

what?
I don't care that you are a nerd, I'm one to.

now I don't know if you meant that comment to be as rude as it sounded and I give props to Raven for being nice, but wow dude.
"Wow, this was cool! ... kind of." ...I would of stopped reading your comment there.
I'm not being bias because I consider Raven a friend, but as an artist myself.
my issue is (and I really don't want to come off as rude) that someone who doesn't even have art of their own posted critiqued someone else's hard work. Raven works hard on these comics.
another unspoken rule is that you don't critique a piece unless they ask for it. If she wanted a critique she would of asked. even if you had good intentions it came off as rude.

Oh, it did?

Then I'm really sorry! I didn't mean it that way!

I thought about the situation as a whole, with Ravenfrost fighting her fathers murderer after he teased her in public. Furthermore it was at a gathering!
I mean like, would the Erin's have done this?
I thought it was cool, to have a fight scene, but at the same time it was weird, concerning it's paricipants and it's outcome.
And that was what I meant while writing the comment.

The comment wasn't about the art or the work she had with it at all! I admire Raven's skills and the time she and others spend with working on things to publish in the internet, knowing I could never do that. (I even wrote it: "I know drawing these is very difficult!")
It was only about the situation in the comic! It was kind of a misunderstanding, because my intention wasn't that clear my writing.

(Just like with you, before. I thought your ".." would be about me nerding about the scratches, since some people are annoyed by questions like that. So I responded as if. :\ )

But generally, to me critique is only bad if it comes along with ranting or offences. Like: "I hate you and this sh** because the main char is black! Desubscribe!"
My "critique" was only a question about something I didn't understand. And I accepted her answer directly after she explained it to me!
If you don't accept any critique at all you won't ever hear something you could do any better the next time, won't you?

So, to Raven, if you ever read this:
Sorry, I didn't mean it like it might have sounded, I love your work and if it ever happens again, don't behave like you would feel fine with it, tell me!
I'm still learning english (I'm from Germany ;P) so I may write things without being aware of it's possible meanings!

I get protective of other peoples art, so I might of read it the wrong way.
its just there are asses out there who love to put down others art. I have had experiences where those people have hurt my friends deeply.
I'm glad you aren't an ass and just a genuine commenter : )

hehe... xD

Thank you for understanding my point.

(How's your point of view about my point of critic as a way to become better?)
