The August Fan Art Battle - VOTE!!

Er...what? Caemgen, this isn't your contest. Wassy already endorsed Bayani's idea, Shia is on board, CR looks to be on board (awaiting an official confirmation from him, but he sounded interested in one of his earlier posts, provided Shia was in)

The only one who seems to think there's any controversy here is YOU. Read the freaking thread.

I'm frankly shocked you thought my opinion worthy of complaining about in the first place. Glad that is settled.

Sorry, but that is indeed a huge U-Turn from earlier quips of "But the final say goes to the FArt Mistress".

You can stick your fingers in your ears and pretend it didn't happen, but I said Shia vs. CR and I said ribbons.

In the post giving the theme she clearly states she think you should advance AND that Shia should. So since the consensus seems to have always been that the FArt Mistress' ruling were what we went by, I think we must allow this change of direction since nothing 100% declaritive had been done by oneone before that. That is, assuming Shia wants to bother continuing.

Look, I don't need a forum ban today so I'm going to probably stay out of this after this post because there's about 20 things I've typed out and since deleted that I'd just love to say to you.

But it's quite obvious to anybody with a shred common sense that you (Caemgen) don't like Bayani or Wassy. And therefore, you've decided to ignore everything they've said and roll on in here with your proclamation (which as Wassy pointed out runs totally counter to your attitude earlier) on what has to be done.

It's already been decided, and all but agreed upon by everybody involved. A group of people which does not include you (or to be fair, me. But I don't have any aversion to actually reading what's going on in the thread) despite your delusions of self importance.

So yes. My mileage does vary. Because I chose not to ignore what's going on. And keep your blessing. What the heck does that have to do with anything anyway?

I call Winona Ryder. Fire is good. And Frost is more than aware that I'd blow him up in a second if I thought there would be comedic effect.

Well you chose the hot, cool one so no matter what we may disagree on, you can't be all bad

Well, Caemgen, I've largely ignored your gestures because quite frankly, I don't believe in your sincerity. You claim repeatedly that your expressed opinions of me or Wassy or anyone else you don't think highly of aren't at play but your behavior and actions indicate otherwise. For instance, at one point, you vehemently disagreed with me regarding the usefulness of model sheets. A few weeks later, you're looking to get model sheets of your own, and even funded a contest with the prize being model sheets. And what about the time you said that Nei Ruffino did a fantastic job coloring your Nema artwork? When Wassy expressed that she didn't believe you got fair value for those colors...you disagreed strongly, but then went around a few weeks later and hired Swanzy to re-color it for you. I also recall expressing my opinion that presentation is important and that a well organized gallery works towards those ends. You also disagreed with me there, saying that it doesn't quite matter because you're not going to be a hardcore collector, but then a few months or so later...your gallery's organized into folders by character. I don't think I need to point out either your rather long argument with Suichiro and Wassy regarding the suitability of my credentials for writing a guide on collecting original comic art before I actually finished it.

By sharing your opinions in a forum, you're inviting discussion about it. There are enough people around who care enough about art to discuss, comment, and debate. I personally don't care if people agree or disagree with my perspective. My only contention is that if you're going to express/argue a counterpoint and want anyone to take it seriously, at least have a little courtesy to do so in logical manner. From what I've observed, Caemgen, you determine what you want to believe before looking at any of the facts/evidence, then look for anything to back up your opinion while largely ignoring the other party's line of argument. Which is fine, I suppose, if you don't want to contribute positively to anything resembling a good discussion. However, it's fair to point out that "Your mileage may vary, God bless you" doesn't grant you a reprieve from people expressing their views as to why your arguments may or may not be valid.

Well, everybody got all opiniony in here right quickety.

I blame that effing unibrow.

I would also like to give my comments about this issue. Now while I agree with the first group of people, i think its the other group of people that has a bigger say in what that person over there said about what he did after he did it.

I would also like to add words like "monkey pooh" and "regurgitated donkey vomit" as a valid stepping point too helping to grasp the greater meaning of whats not so much said, but implied by the few people that are part of the said group that dont actually see whats going on or simply find nude women with strategically placed ribbons on to be a very good idea.

In fact, I belive nude women with ribbons should be the main focus proper, and nude women themselfs as a major focus mainly when there not wearing the ribbons.

and may the blessing of lord Xenu at the temple of Zuul guide your pathway twards the light of the donut cheese, thank you
