"My Style"

Tue Jul 7, 2009, 12:56 PM
  • Listening to: Bill Wyman's Metal Detector - Swede Mason
  • Playing: Gotcha Force
So here's a question.

What do you think about "My Style"? By which I mean the practice of artists who draw existing, often copyrighted characters in "their own style" which involves deviating grossly from the original design?

Chances are most of you have an opinion of this and if so, where do you draw the line? Does humanising animal characters class as "My Style"? What about drawing western characters in an eastern style? Are either of these far removed enough from, say, giving a bald character hair to make it acceptable to you? Does is depend on if an artist is drawing a one-off "What If" version as opposed to using an altered design on a regular basis and perhaps even claiming it as their own to some degree?

TO DO LIST

CONSTANTLY IN PROGRESS! CHECK BACK IF YOU GIVE A DAMN!

Currently Working On: WITL? ????

Intelligence reports that no more than two people might be interested in my upcoming work, and I am notorious for forgetting things I intend to do so this is a useful checklist for me too.

Gift Art for *ThisIsMetal You're a menace and I hate you.

Loose Screws! Short comic strips featuring 2nd, B.O.W.L. and Fandango!
Comic Story! THAT'S RIGHT. A REAL comic which will consist of around 50 pages, nearly all of which are already storyboarded so YOU KNOW I'm going to do it. The subject? [link]
Tiny Cartoons! I have some new, short cartoons in the mix which will start production once enough of them are written and music has been built. The subject? [link]
2nd! Other important art! The subject? [link]
Who's In The Lab?! FANDANGO ROBOTS ASSEMBLE. Plenty of them. Lots of yakking. Learn the ropes!
2009 Remake! Or 2010 depending on my schedule. A certain Fandango related picture is being renovated for the new millennium. Whatever could it be?
RMA! Monsters and madmen! Who the hell are these guys?
How To Draw...? I've had three more of these on the brain for a while and hopefully when I get time I can get around to them.
Christmas Project! Already in development! Hoping to get to work on it in a couple of months so it will be done in time. Whatever could be be?
Assorted Goodies! Specifics Edition!:
Sonic the Hedgehog fanart? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't...
REPLAY: OMEGA FACTOR! I'm ripping off Astro Boy!
Pirate STC! Years in the making! Will it ever get finished?
Rappaport! Who?
Card Related Project! Collaboration time!
Remastered ID Image! Possibly!
Smash Brothers! Really?
Marios! Powerups! What could be finer?
