    Now that I'm started on the sale queue, I thought this might be a good place to post wips. Here's the first:

  4. LOL. Be aware of what? You're admonishing people to be respectful based on some vague incident that you refuse to discuss and believe to be unintentional anyway.

    Have some respect for Protector. It was a great server a long time ago. Let it go out with a bang. Or a whimper. But not a whine.
  5. I'm running a farewell sale for coh art. There are still some slots left:

    Farewell Sale

    Hello Protectorites,

    In light of this sad turn of events I'm offering a sale on coh commissions:

    The general quality I'm aiming for is something like this:


    If you're interested, please post in that thread or send me a note via DA.

    Sorry to be crass, but I've decided to offer a going away sale on commissions if anyone is interested in getting character art:

    Hola,
    I'm back and will probably be doing some more coh art soon. In the meantime I thought I'd post this Catwoman:

    Thanks for looking
  11. Some suggestions:
    1. Establish from what direction your lightsource is coming. The shadows and highlights should be consistent.

    2. Stay away from the airbrush tool. Learn to use brushes in combination with the smudge tool to create gradients and textures. It will make your objects look solid and less puffy.

    3. Use color to relay more information about the subject and enhance the linework. For example, the thing is covered with craggy, jutting rocks. There would be lots of shadows and highlights and gradiations in value based on their angle in space. You have his whole body covered in one flat application of orange. The burning edge of the cigar is almost the same shade of orange with no glow. Fenian's rock has all kinds of layers and cracks indicated by the linework, but again you've got a flat color over the whole thing with two puffy, oddly place shadows on the sides.
  12. I would prefer a costume code.
  13. Lol that was sarcasm dad. Were you at Art Basel the other day? We could've enjoyed a glass of merlot and snobbed on each other.
  14. Pure hubris. If you cracked open that article on Helvetica, you could learn a thing or two.

    If/when a friend tells you a "racist" joke, does he usually follow it up with a laugh, followed by "Stupid *******"? Get Real
    Holy crap, you child. Step away from the computer and go out in the real world. The country has tons of people that do just that. Not comedians, normal people. You have no common sense in this. You can't see the forest for the trees. If you think being a hip-hop comedian that doesn't put the slur together with the ethnic joke makes you more enlightened in the pursuit of insults, fine. Whatever. Just don't hyprocrite so hard when somebody else trolls in a similar fashion (the claim itself is doubtful).

    I don't know Felonious, so your comparison is lost on me. In general I think you rehash a lot of old disputes and rely on comparisons to people that are no longer around.

    Quote:
    I quoted you in full once and responded, then broke off a part of your quote towards the end. Stop making it seem like I was quoting you out of context.
    Partially quoting someone is a well known tactic to mislead. Used frequently by people like Ann Coulter. Your cut changes the tone of my quote, which is obviously why you did it. I don't have to make it seem like anything, it's right there on the page. The lines you pulled in the recap were also not representative of the discussion as a whole.

    If you're tired of this argument just stop. If you want to keep throwing up strawmen, I'll keep knocking them down.
  16. Vinnie--

    You can nitpick and lawyer over phrases like "in a nutshell" all day long. The comparison is apt. Racial slurs and generic insults based on ethnicity are not only in the same vein, they are generally used hand in hand. I can't believe you are so naive as to not understand that.

    I bring up what I mentioned in a discussion over a month ago once since that time and I'm being a crybaby. I think you're reaching.
    Your mission statement tells most of the remaining cox pvp community to suck your ****. Your match writeups describe your team ******** on people. Then when I make a comment on a logo, you get get all sensitive and take issue with my tone, lol. I comment on a couple of your posts and suddenly you're the poor victim of a haunting.
    Crybaby works for me. As does delusional and whiner.

    Nice abbreviated recap of the logo debate, including this edited quote at the end:

    That's good advice, particularly when you feel the urge to lie in order to make a point that's not convincing anyway.

    Please don't follow around WARE and criticize all of their actions. You have far more pressing matters of your own - like why anyone in their right mind would run 5 poisons in a playoff match. Seriously, stick to the MM nonsense. Oh wait, you're done. You lose. GG.
    Sounds like hypertension. You should lay off the twinkies.

    Everyone DOES hate you though. Even your own team. lol
    Oh yeah? They're really nice for people that hate me.
    Now roll over.

    I have a master's in graphic design you ******* idiot.
    Quote:
    Nobody is ever justified in telling someone that their art is good or bad.
    I don't know what to tell you. Ask for your money back. Obviously there is such a thing as good or bad design. If there weren't, you wouldn't be able to pursue a degree in it. Doing commercial work, you have to follow the dictates of a client or art director. Often they will tell you that something sucks or they don't like it--and they are absolutely justified in doing so. Even a fine artist won't go very far if they aren't open to people's reactions to their work. Pointing out that your friends and family enjoy receiving your work as gifts--sorry that doesn't do much to support your argument here.

    This whole discussion about art is beside the point anyways. You and some others have a serious lack of reading comprehension. I didn't mention the rap battle to disparage Vinnie as an artist. I'm pointing to his hypocrisy. He calls someone out for resorting to a racial slur--when anyone can watch him doing basically the same thing on a grander scale in a video. It's a small point that is apparently easily lost in the sackriding and hysteria that followed.

    The qq over this is from you guys is amazing. You got the disparaging mission statement and the condescending match writeups. The chat channel fiasco. Hot posting Gunrock's butt and Dex casting him as a pedo while discussing legal issues in ac daily. HP making forum PSA's about every other team sucking. Etc. Defamation over anything ranging from someone's performance in an official to the outcome of an obscure match that transpired years ago in a previous league.

    I make a comment about a logo or cast Vinnie's rap battles in a negative light and there is RAGE and life lessons from that guy DaveMebs. You have your lapdog hopping around and barking that everybody hates me. How do you lose perspective to such a hilarious extent? I'm in awe.
