Nice work! He’s a real gem. A shining example of a Gamergate hero. I’m sure they’ll erect a statue in recognition of his service.

“What is that supposed to mean? That you are a corrupt and sexist person who skirts the issues and feigns disinterest?”

“It’s a real shame that Kotaku and the rest of games media has been so hostile to #Gamergate”

I have no issues with line drawing artists using photos for references, especially for anatomical approximation. None. Sometimes that’s how you learn (like a rank amateur such as me) or how you refine your craft (like an expert such as Tim Bradstreet). That being said, swiping compositional elements (like the…

It’s not about ‘liking the metaphor.’ It’s the difference between a criticism and an insult. Giving someone credit while insulting them doesn’t negate the insult made.

“It’s a given the cops have weapons and the criminals have weapons.”

Given the circumstances, don’t you think it’d have to be a pretty terrible movie for him to not like it?

I’m going to fall in love with this world, aren’t I?

“Art never NEEDS to be anything - that’s why Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh et al are revered. But just because you CAN make something unrealistic doesn’t mean it can’t benefit from realistic.
