I'm so proud of me for neglecting homework. This is Rengar from League of Legends, by the way. Isn't he the sweetest?

Why is it that the bigger the watermark or the more demanding the OMG DON'T TAKE, the more likely the artwork is to be uninspired, disproportionate and/or mediocre?* Nobody wants to steal it, I promise! I think the funniest was when I looked through a sample of people who fancied themselves "icon artists" (forum avatars, that sort of thing). They usually had a list of super whiny rules against "stealers" even though everything they had was a square taken from other people's artwork.

I've only had my artwork stolen once to my knowledge, and it was great. Then the person got banned.

I suppose I would be somewhat peeved if someone took my work without accrediting me. Then again, in your scenario the "icon artists" should have given credit to the original artist from which they took from.

[Dopple]

The person who took my artwork pretended it was his, and put his name on the corner in an ugly white cursive font. But you know, I was really happy he liked it enough to take it in the first place.

And that's the interesting thing: people generally have no problem taking (or borrowing, if you want to put it that way) for themselves, but when it comes to other people taking from them? It's time to pitch a fit and impose rules.

Reminds me of that video game company simulator, where the developer made it so pirated copies have the players' games pirated causing them to lose, and people were going on the support forum missing the point and complaining about pirates in the game.

I wasn't actually going to colour this but I'm taking a pretty crude trip into colourful-land, just to do it.



Apparently this sort of thing is really popular.

doodle

THAT is a doodle?!

[Dopple]

it is a fluffy blob I don't have to worry about anatomy shenanigans over and I would just like to put my face into it

[Dopple]

I just search up character for reference on google I get yaoi and hentai and crap it doesn't filter

the worse is when it's badly drawn but you can tell they actually tried

well even that aside I concede if you get into art you can't afford to be a prude or you will limit yourself, and that is how it is.
 

[竜王聖帝]

Can't you use the

-

operator to filter out those results?

[Dopple]

What would you suggest I put there? All I searched was game name, character name and I ran into that stuff. It doesn't happen often at all, so I wasn't expecting it.

I almost hate to do this to a Trails in the Sky fan but this is perfect:

The added watermark really tops it off

He looks like the stereotypical sassy gay hairdresser.

You might recognise him as the guy on the far right in my most recent drawing.

Then again, maybe not.

Oh dear.

"The Sultan of Ba'Gel." Once again, a joke that nobody understands.

My mom wishes I wouldn't come up with such ugly concepts.

 

 

 

Fine mom, whatever, I'm just looking through my old sketchbook and redrawing things ok. I found some anime too if it suits someone's sensibilities better.

 

one of oldest OCs :| shoot me dead before I talk about it
 

 

Unrelated: My brother saw that I subscribe to a number of orc clubs. I told him it was because I like orcs, and also the ratio of people who like to draw orcs and can draw is higher than the ratio of people who like to draw anime and can draw.

 

To exemplify this I said all you have to do is search up "Tales of the Abyss" in DeviantArt under category New. So I went ahead, did that, and pulled up this masterpiece titled "yaoi boys loVE XD" (SFW besides language). Little word of warning, you may want to pick up a prescription for some eyebleach afterward:

"What the love," he said. I laughed until I cried.

[Fayeaura]

Is part of the joke of "The Sultan of Ba'Gel" that the sultan is eating something in the shape of their nation's symbol, and the big guy is annoyed about it?

 

I like when people draw "monsters" like that, because it takes creativity to create them. :] They don't all have to be pretty.
