I love this image of Flash. <3 you, Flash.



Arms. -swoon-

I like artists that draw clean lines and tend to look more sleek. And who know how to do their proportions. No big limbed, small headed guys for me *coughRobLeifieldcough* My faves are John Cassaday, John Romita Jr., and the Kubert brothers. I'd post some links, but I'm lazy.

P.S.-That Flash is awesome. Who did that? It says Ethan in the corner, Ethan Van Sciver?

I've run into this before. Some people want FULL control over how their character is portrayed.

/shrug

I don't that it's possible, but I understand the reasons behind it.

Well, TBH, I didn't read Foo's request for screenshots as an offer of free artz. Had it been something I'd considered an offer, I'd have responded privately to decline. It wasn't until Viv's comment that it even crossed my mind that it "might" have been an offer, but I still rejected that thought as it didn't read that way to me. Especially since this was one of my first posts in this section. Had I been a regular here, with a rapport already established with the other regulars, I "might" have seen it as an offer.

Why would I decline an offer of free artz? It's not, as Juggertha suggested a desire for FULL control over how he's portrayed. Anyone can run my arc and see all of my characters (well, all but one, but he's irrelevant). Anyone that runs it will immediately see it's purely an ego stroking arc, and nothing more. And they are free to do whatever they want in drawing any of those characters. I can't stop them. They could even use those characters in their own arcs, and again, I can't stop them. If I'd not wanted them used in other arcs or been the inspiration for an artist I wouldn't have put them in my arc.

It has more to do with the fact that some are just not comfortable with offers of free stuffz from people when it is something that involves talents that we lack.

As an example, I know a gentleman that plays this game that is a very talented artist. He's also someone that I like and respect both as a player and as a person. I had made a joking comment in a thread on the Justice forums about no one wanting to draw TJ but being willing to draws Eyes instead. This gentleman told me to send him pics and he'd see what he could do, but I declined in a PM since (a) it was a joking comment in the first place and (b) I'd have felt very uncomfortable with a free drawing knowing how talented he is.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Apparently I fail at trying to make my point, so at this stage, I think I'll just vacate the Screenshots & Fan creations subsection of the forums. I'll probably wander back in following links from the Dev Digest or Community Digest, or possibly following a link from a post in the Justice forums, but I'll try to remember to refrain from commenting.

Toodles.
