I wish people wouldn't vote down comments critical of an artist's work.
Being voted down is nothing. You should see the hostility that comes out when the artist ASKS people to be critical. That sort of stuff gets you banned for "flaming" real fast.

Not gonna lie, that post looked less 'critical of an artist's work' and more 'openly disparaging an artist's work' (what with the language and the tone and all that), the difference being that one of these things can be constructive and help someone improve, and the other is more likely to be viewed as not being so.
As to why you got voted down, methinks this drum's been beaten a bit too much, a bit too loudly; you've got the right to get your opinions out there, yeah, freedom of speech and all that, but when people come here to enjoy an artist's work the fun-sucking negativity isn't exactly the kind of content they're looking to glance over, y'know?
