Ewwww beer. I hates beer. HATESSSSS IT! Ew...did I just invoke LOTR? I should be shot.

There is nothing wrong with loving horrible movies. Just like horrible TV shows.

EXAMPLE? True Blood. I watch that god awful HORRIBLE television like it were handing out blow. Why? I really dunno. I'm not really into vamps....but I suppose it's like a trainwreck...UGH it is awful.

However...the character of Eric? Hot. Mmmmm

In the 80s, bad TV/Movies meant this:



In 2009, bad TV/Movies mean equates to THIS:

Boys, I suggest you avert your eyes!











*cackle* *runs*

Oh my Robert Downey....*swoon* I love that man....*wanders off*

ROFL Heroid are you okay? <_< if you've been drinking, that's no fair, you should've told me. I woulda joined ya :P

*falls out of her chair laughing*

Screw it. Message went unanswered months ago. Lame.

Since my account is temp active till the 14th...

Here's some new art that relates to CoX:

Gray Huntress

First of my -sale- commissions. It's weird, I've been inking and coloring all of Bayani's stuff, but I haven't done anything else CoH-related in forever *stretches* feels like a comfy pair of shoes!

That's what I was saying earlier, Heroid. :P

Not only that, but a lot of regular money comes from convention. I've seen single artists go to a convention and make BANK. But it's also how they pay their taxes, they pay their mortgage, etc. As said, artists kinda get paid **** and unless you're contracted,there is no health insurance, dental, nada. :P

Lollerskates XD Are you talking about the whole "Claws" thing? XD

*Dies laughing*

"Creations" to an extent. Basically there are some individuals who have creator rights on some properties (David Michelinie for Venom, for example), but those contracts didn't come into play until much later. David Michelinie nor Bob Layton have any actual "rights" to their multitude of creations on Iron Man (Jim Rhodes aka War Machine, Bethany Cabe, Justin Hammer, etc). So that just depends on the individual and when things were created...

The Image exodus, as far as I know, was about those rights, but they wanted much more than even what Michelinie has for Venom. You have to understand, we artists are not paid a lot. Rates are better these days, but uhhh...not great. TRUST ME. And it was also in anticipation of say..."Hollywood" involvement. So yes, in Image and Co.'s case, you can broker a deal where you still "own" your property, but even then, it's not as all Camelot-y as they had originally wanted. GRANTED, you have a lot of ownership with Image and Co. than with any sweetheart deal with Marvel or DC.

As for the hording of the art itself, no. It has been since FOREVER that Marvel and DC return the pages to the artists for them to sell on the collector's market. In fact, most of the time, unless manual inking is taking place, original art stays with the penciller (split up among the involved artists). Everything is scanned in now, so you never even have to give Marvel tangible pages.

What I was saying is that Disney does NOT hold that same policy. They are a bit draconian in that they horde every single scrap paper.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA Win. I tip my hat to you

Some tushie?

I predict a serious exodus of artists away from Marvel to DC and other companies. On the flipside, this might be a good thing for other companies LOL! Kinda like...Image 2.0 Exodus.

Well...from the ARTIST perspective...this is potentially a very, very, very bad thing. Disney policy is to "keep all artwork." This is bad for us artsy peeps. Selling of original pages and artwork is half of our ability to make money. The collector's market is up in arms about this already.

And this isn't a partnering.

Now, there is a slim chance that they will "keep management as is." But my experience and observations have been that when this kind of buy out happens, they like to change things even when the company is doing well.

Case and point: Acclaim buying Valiant comics. Even though they said they had the intention of keeping things as is (and the company was THRIVING, succeeding, beat out "the big 2" in multiple awards, was making millions, etc), they came in and changed EVERYTHING. Acclaim went bust and took Valiant with it. NOT that Disney is going to go bust, but I'm simply saying that Marvel publications isn't exactly doing "well." Financially. NO comic publishers have post-90s boom and comic books themselves have been re-regulated as loss-leaders.

I predict bad things. Just sayin'...

Licensing is not the same thing as owning.

Nausicaa is and will always be awesome. Saw the Japanese version when I was a kid. Awesome.

Red is Karnal's color. :P Plus, her red is blood red, not that bright firetruck red which screams Superman or whatever. :P

If by real interesting you mean real retarded, then yes. :P I think only in a Haetron thread that has been properly molested by Sorah could a thread run this long on absolutely nothing. I mean really...

But hey you can make fun of me, how is that for interesting? What you REALLY missed was my in-game personal rant. Sorah + 2 cocktails + empty stomach + staying up too late = insanity leaps from her mouth in an over enthusiastic fashion XD

So, maybe I should use this opportunity as a catch all...umm...to all those I spoke to (especiallyChimera and Xanatos :X)....ahem....my bad. Probably wasn't my proudest moment.

That's kinda sad and true *pats Kai on head* At least my "fluff" was isolated

WIN! +rep!

Nah, "SH-I-NNNEEEE" would be SHINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
