thoughts on art and commission
14 years ago
General
i hope to be uploading some things this weekend...time willing
but I also wanted to just make a comment on something that recently occurred to a friend of mine
mylordslover had recently made cute little running pixel icons for and and some friends and I and others suggested perhaps she should offer them as commissions. they were so cute and such fun for her.
She did go and get permissions from the base animation creator to use the base with her uniquely created art to make character animated icons to offer for a small fee..which basically is to pay for her time doing the artwork.
There are several other artists on FA who also do this and clearly credit the animation creator as such..just as she has. I am trying to understand why anyone thinks they have any right to tell her she is unethical.
By that logic..all the MLP are unethical, pokemon, you name it...
It just seems rather petty to be this way to someone doing original character artwork for a simple 2 or 3 dollar fee...makes me kinda wonder a bit
Anyways..i and my mate love our little running kitties and if you like them please check her out. BTW ..she draws cute ponies and chibis too
I hope to upload our little ponies she drew us all later
Peace all...

What bugs me is people making a mint off of copyrighted characters. There is a specific reason the raffle pony I made was OC randomness and was not meaning to resemble any actual ponies on the show, and the few stickers I made did not sell at Furstivus and never again will be offered for sale... I don't see how Hasbro not saying anything makes it "legal"... the only people that have any 'evidence' have it from a friend of a friend who got an alleged verbal okay, nothing more... very iffy in my opinion... and if it's okay, why are they not making more than one to sell, hmm?
frankly..the fact there is uniquely designed art make s it whats so nice..like your pony plushie and like the pony drawings mylordslover gave us..they dont look anything like MLP name characters
so i agree that those making more copyrighted characters like Lion King and MLP are more questionable than someone making up a new character, Oh well..come people are gonna whine no matter what
The artist says it is free-- the arguement is INVALID.
