Description
I recently posted an image here on Renderosity, and based on the comments I received, I realized I might have offended the person who wrote them.
Since this involves a friend here on Renderosity whose feedback I highly value—and considering that, here in Brazil, anything one says can be deemed politically incorrect, potentially leading to lawsuits or even imprisonment—I actually considered stopping the publication of my creations on Renderosity to avoid offending other members.
However, creating and sharing my work is one of the few hobbies left to this old man amidst the hectic life we lead here in Brazil.
For that reason, I decided I needed to find a way to continue.
I must make it clear that I value all the critiques and tips I receive. However, the specific critique I am referring to left me uninspired to create more work in the style I had been pursuing.
I am grateful for the feedback; even though that friend didn't like my creation, it steered me toward a new style of work: creating environmental images without any people. That way, it is unlikely that my environmental images will offend anyone.
Naturally, the initial images are terrible, but I hope to improve gradually, and I thank everyone for their patience.

This is a beautiful render!
And I feel sorry to read your message. I don't know the render, I don't know the friend, but having "friends" like that, feeling offended by a render, you for sure don't need an enemy.
In these days too many people acting like snowflakes, offended by the tiniest little things. Don't let them stop you please.
In the end they won't thank, that you did or didn't do, just to please them. It's YOUR life, it's YOUR art and as long any of the render don't go against the rosity rules, go for it!
Thank you very much for viewing my images. And above all, thank you for your words. You are the first person on Renderosity to speak up in this way. After everything I went through, I felt a bit lost regarding my creations—lacking inspiration and unsure of what to do to avoid offending anyone—because here in Brazil, anything we do or say can land us in court and, certainly, in prison. We are censored even within our own homes.
Indeed, a very harmonious picture.
Lovely.
