o77. oh good god, the stupidity never ends.

I freakin' lol'd.

Seriously, though, why the heck would he want to come back to MO, considering plenty of people on there hate him or find him rather irritating? Okay? Furthermore, if he is capable of drawing the picture that he uploaded/drew on that other oekaki board, why did he not show us that skill? Because his lineless skills were certainly not at this level a few days ago.

Whatever.

But ahahaha, man. Just. GAWD.

o76. well, here's something.

Fun fact:
You just can't win on this oekaki board.

I give up on this fight; it's a lost cause. Some people just won't change. And some people don't know when to shut up, me included.

To Iskola:
I didn't really handle it well—I don't really think things through. I'm a human with faults. But at least I know I can accept that and I can try and change myself. And I'm not going to pass the blame on to anyone else. The way I behave is my own responsibility. I have responsibility for my own words and my own accounts. If my sister made a mess of my account, I'd try and act rationally, delete all offending posts right away and apologize to the original artist. If I insulted someone using a word that should not be used as a derogatory word, I would not blame it on something I may have been watching on YouTube.

Don't bother asking for an apology because I have none for you and I don't think you're deserving of one. I am of the opinion that you need a permaban because you haven't shown yourself to be capable of change—you've been given plenty of second chances. February 6th, I thought there was still some hope that you could gain some maturity or something. I don't know about everyone else's opinions, but over a month later and those hopes I had have pretty much been decimated. You may have grown in terms of art skills—just a little bit—but everything else? You're lacking, and I wish I still had the optimism to believe you when you say that'll you'll try and work on what you're doing wrong. But I don't.

So that's it. I'm done fighting with you, and maybe even with fighting on this board because once we kick out someone else for scrapping with us, there's always someone new to replace that void. I'm sick of the drama, but it's human nature to want to rip each other to shreds, I guess.

o75. BAAAW WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

Because it's apparently NOT OBVIOUS as to why people dislike you, Iskola, I thought I'd clear it up for you using some old stuff and screencaps.

On Marriland Oekaki, we got to yell and mock an idiot art theif who stole two of Imura's amazing artworks and took one of mine, erased the lineart and wrote something like "you guys suck or something". He also said that we look like 'nasty things' (namely 'penis' and 'fuck fingher' [sic]). Now, sad thing about trying to steal art on this site is that, when pictures are set to public and are edited by another person, it automatically credits the original artist. So, duh, of course everyone's going to know when you're stealing someone's work. He blamed his thieving on someone he called 'Brandon' and said Brandon was his little brother. We continued calling him a liar and said all sorts of stuff to get him to delete his posts. Pokedive (the idiot I've been talking about) continued to cry for help and called us all rude and came up with all sorts of lies and excuses. Then, Marriland actually showed up and deleted the stolen art (plus some related BAWWWWing). Wow, he exists. He also sent the person an o-mail, but it looks like he still has his draw access intact and all that when I checked out the person's profile on the memberlist. (WTF? Where's the BANHAMMER?)

The idiot, of course, came back later on under the name of 'Pom' for spamming and stole another piece of Imura's art from the main board (under the alias 'Iskola75'). He said that he was the same person from before (though, I could tell just by the e-mail address), but then later said something like 'you've never seen me before'. He also denied ever blaming a 'Brandon' or knowing one, something like that.

There are 6 accounts signed up with '_lguitarplayer@hotmail.com' at MO. Someone needs to start monitoring who the heck they're letting into the oekaki—there's a 'no more than one account per person' rule on MO, but obviously, someone's not paying attention to who they're accepting.

So yeah, it was rather fun, picking on an idiot who just wouldn't learn his lesson—yes, I am that mean. I'm normally forgiving, but somethings are just plain old unforgivable in my book, and if you're just going to repeat your mistakes over and over, never changing your method of doing things, never trying to gain respect the right way, I will be mean, and I will pick on you. Some people are really hardheaded and need it to be drilled into their heads that they're doing it wrong.

And here's today's little... weirdness. After that, though, Iskola75 said:

"....well as i said before...im not that good at drawing since im new...so...

well anyway thanx for telling me teh canvas resizing thing.. i hope we can all be ffriends

ill just delete this and resize the canvas"

I was actually willing to forgive you and hope for the best yet because, y'know, I can be optimistic sometimes and hope that you'd learn your lesson. And while you had learned this lesson, you still need to learn a whole bunch more before I even think of not wanting to think of you as completely stupid.

When you comment to make yourself look better, you actually make yourself look stupid. I don't care what you are in real life, because I don't know you in real life, and online, you act like an idiot. You say that you're one of the smartest kids according to your school board? Then act like it. Show me that you're capable of being mature and that you can actually type and spell like someone your supposed age should be able to.

I swear you don't even think about what you're saying before you comment. You keep saying things like not to bring up Topic A or Topic B or your BAWWing about Starly moving pretty much all your work, and yet, it's YOU who's always bringing it up. "Let it drop" you say? Why don't you, since it's you who's always bringing stuff back from the dead?

And you come up with way too many excuses, even more than I do.

I'm not surprised that Muse even went and made a hate picture after that post, because this was more than ignorance—this was flat-out stupid and completely uncalled for. You called her a lesbo as if being a lesbian is something wrong! If that's what you believe, fine, but don't you dare use a term like that as though it were an insult.

Your critiques are so unhelpful, it's laughable. It's like a list rehashing whatever other critics say minus the helpfulness. Don't you get that you're too inexperienced to really offer an effective critique? If you're incapable of helping, don't even try it, because all you'll end up doing is confusing the poor artist. Your advice is about as helpful as me trying to teach a classmate Calculus (and if you must know, I'm FAILING, which is why this analogy works).

And I'm sure I'm forgetting some reasons and I'm missing a lot of screencaps, but there. That's why I don't like you, and that's what you're doing wrong. If you're banned, it's for a reason, kiddo. When you're banned, either don't come back ever or change your ways before you come back and try to start fresh.

o74. ... and gay, possibly?

o73. ファル子

Just a little quickie done in Photoshop to show Yunyun how I envision Falco. T-too pretty...! But birds are like that anyway, right? So there.

Yeah, no shading 'cause I'm too lazy. xD; I just wanted some colors slapped on lines.

I'm such a dork, though, 'cause now the headset is, like, crooked. I somehow forgot to draw the lines in for part of it before starting coloring. <<;;; How awesome am I? I do that a lot. =__=;;

He looks too feminine now, doesn't he? xD;; This doesn't really match up with that whole "once a member of a gang" hinting thing... Again, oops? I don't care, though. xD; N-not that much. Not like how I care about Wolf retaining masculinity. xD;;

o72. on redlining.

Originally, I was going to put this in with the "how to critique" article, but I opted for putting them in separate posts since it was getting kind of long and the figures would've been totally screwy and all over the place. Still, they kind of go hand-in-hand with each other because redlining is like a form of critiquing. But anyway, here we go! This isn't really going to be like an article, but more of a sloppy do's and don't's guide... but mostly concentrated on don't's.

Here's one that bugs me: asking for a redline over basic shapes. It's kind of like "what the heck is that?" When it's just a bunch of shapes, it's harder to tell exactly what needs fixing.

o71. 「スタフォクス」

I think I've been playing too much Brawl. ;;

Anyway, here's, uh... gijinka Fox McCloud lineart, done with some pen I bought from Wal-Mart and a Sharpie marker for the thicker outline on the outsides. I haven't actually done lineart traditionally for maybe a year and a half, so... It's really quite terrible, worse than I was back then. Uwaa.

I just realized his ears are freaking off. xD;; Great. I should probably clean this up more in PS but I want to color it in Prismacolors... which I haven't done in ages as well, even longer ago than my last hand-drawn lineart. o__o;;;

Auuugh, the anatomy is awful even for a headshot, how lame is that?
