I was going to ETA this, but it got too big xD
I was browsing popular on DA, as I do every day and came across
this stamp. OMG YOU'RE NOT A REAL ARTIST IF YOU DON'T HAVE OC'S PLEASE GIVE ME AN MY ANIMOO BULLCRAP ATTENTION.
Plus, the peddling of backs is ridiculous. IF YOU DIDN'T THINK DRAWING FAN ART WAS WRONG, WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU MAKE A STAMP SAYING SO?
Responses from me:
"not original,
you suck.
a lot."
Wow, that's really saying fan art isn't a bad thing, huh? LOL backpeddling
People have been drawing other people's characters for years, way before DA. A large gross of J.W. Waterhouse's work is Shakespearean characters or figures from mythology. Art is art.
Open your mind.
And I made a response stamp too:
Fan Art Stamp by =
dr-runcible on
deviantART Cause, I'd really rather look at
awesome fan art than I would
stupid animoo CRAP. I mean, I tried to think of someone famous for just their OCs and I thought, Artgerm! But he's drawn Death Note before. SO UM, STFU?
