Hey ComicVine?

Sat Jul 11, 2009, 7:44 PM
I KNOW there's someone over at ComicVine who's stalking my DA gallery (or has really good Google-Fu or Photobucket Sense), but I just have to ask:

I can understand putting this picture of Jean ( [link] ) in her Image Gallery, but why on Earth would you put two pictures of Beta Ray Bill from a (currently unfinished for almost 4 years now) purely alternate universe fan fic idea in his gallery?

I don't want to get into any pissing matches, since ultimately Bill ain't my character (no matter what I do to him in any AU/What If story) and I don't loose sleep over people uploading my fan art to random comic image galleries. I'm kinda flattered that someone uploaded the Jean picture at least, amongst all the better pictures.

But what really disturbs me about the two Bill/Beta Ray Phoenix drawings is this:

... They're not even drawn by me. =/

They have my colors, but they're not my drawings.

Y'see, I really, honestly don't mind if people share my '100% drawn-by-me' fan art around and upload it to places like ComicVine and all. Heck, go ahead and make LiveJournal icons with them for all I care, I'd be flattered.

But when it's someone elses' artwork with my colors... I kinda draw the line there out of respect for the original artist who graciously let me defile their work in the first place. Makes me wonder if the Psylocke by WindRider I colored or the Phoenix by Rantz is up there somewhere...

Like I said, I'm not gonna lose sleep over it or pitch a fit, but I do feel a little disappointed, since like I said... not my art/lines. Just feels kinda wrong to me.

Hm. Oh well.

Not-so-FAQ

Will you watch me?
I only really watch my friends (who I've known for a long time) on DA and a very small handful of non-friends (professionals I like, people who generally interest me), just because I'm really bad at commenting and keeping up with everyone's work. Please don't take it personal.

Do you do requests/art trades?
Sadly, no. On occasion I will open them up, but I largely do them based upon suggestion. Otherwise, I have way too many things I need to finish.

Trades I will do, but sadly I have prior obligations I need to do before I can accept them again in good conscience.

Where are your original characters, you hack?
I actually draw my OCs more than anything. However, because they are my brain children, I only like to post pictures that I feel are worthy to post of them.

Why do you hate Ahsoka/Thane/Starkiller/Rick Wheeler/Cyclops/ect. so much?
Because they're annoying and I like to banish them to the Cornfield.

But I don't like chicken. I like eggs! And why are you so mean?
BECAUSE AH'M DEAD!
