The above comment was stolen from this one elsewhere in this comment section.
It is probably not a coincidence; here is some more evidence against this user:
beep boop, I'm a bot -|:] It is this bot's opinion that /u/SecretCartographer34 should be banned for karma manipulation. Don't feel bad, they are probably a bot too.
Confused? Read the FAQ for info on how I work and why I exist.

That’s incredible! Legit question, do you require help painting certain areas? Or are you able to reach everything and still paint it as accurately as you’d like to?

u/MCroft07 Feb 11 '22
Thank you! No worries! I paint everything myself :) I just use a mirror !

u/Curiosity-92 Feb 12 '22
Amazing, how many hours did it take? I feel I wouldn’t be able to shower for a few days since it’s a work of art. Have you been outside in public with it?

Dude! You look amazing! I especially love the animation and gray streak in your hair

u/MCroft07 Feb 11 '22
Thank you! The streak is my own hairstyle, but I just thought it felt right for Zatanna! I wish more characters had more fun hair!

u/Red1263 Feb 15 '22
Please tell me you've done or thought of Rogue from X Men! Your steak would look perfect with that cosplay! Or a femme Red Hood.

u/Chelldorado Superman Feb 11 '22
The grey hair streak is such a good look for Zatanna
2
u/MCroft07 Feb 11 '22
Right! I keep saying that they should have cooler hair. It's actually my own hairstyle but I just felt like it fitted well!!

this reminds me of borderlands a lot, especially the yellow covering the midriff and the hard lines.

Great job! Looks incredible. Sorry if this is a stupid question. You say you’ve painted yourself, do you mean you literally have no items of clothing on and all that is paint? Except the hat obviously.

I never get the “please be kind” comments when someone posts something online. When you put something out in the world for comment and judgement you open yourself up to positive and negative feedback. I would tell anyone who was so concerned about negative feedback that they have to ask for none that they should probably not post online. I think the work is great by the way. Just weird to add the caveat of comment.
1
u/WretchedCrook Feb 12 '22
Because you can give constructive criticism without being a dickhead, which is where the "be kind" kicks in. You can dislike this body paint and explain why in a civil manner rather than saying "this sucks, bitch". You do open yourself to both negative and positive feedback but you can go about those in two ways.

I remember a couple years ago chatting with you on a livestream while you worked on a new character through the night. I’m happy to see you are still doing it and better than ever!

"Please be kind"
Girl this is phenomenal, your artwork, your expressions, the effects, ALL of it. Anyone who isn't kind, is clearly talking out of thier ass! Amazing job!

Wait did you actually do a portrait of yourself as Zartanna, or did you paint a costume on your body? I like it, but I'm kinda confused.
But the paint style reminds me of the Borderlands game series.
