Wasn't about winning. I took the character design seriously, as it's what I do for a living. A pic of Gaston is just that, a pic of Gaston. However this has a description to it that doesn't fit the visual representation. That's taking my craft seriously. The first comment was a throw away "relax dude," type of…

Actually did. As I've been a member of Deviant Art for 9 years lol. So I sent him a message. Dunno if I'll get a reply though. The rant was more or less in response to the comments here.

Yea, sorry lol, I tend to be overly articulate when I get into describing things. Just who I am.

That's a rather specific view. Wow lol. What side were you on? The one being cheated on, or the one being, what I'm ascribing to your description, duped?

Uh...can't see the GIF? lol

Okay, I'll agree that I fired off a little on the hot-headed side. So I'll apologize before saying anything else. Let me ask this, in all seriousness, if you agreed why not say so? It comes across as dismissive when you clearly can understand why it doesn't work without the contextual paragraph.

Haha the tech guy. That cracked me up, especially knowing the character. +1

I am calm. But how about I actually explain where I'm coming from instead of just responding with a "dude" comment? You chose to comment on how I saw the artist's rendering of this character. You also made an association to a piece of work that was not provided by the artist but the author of this article. Saying it's…

lol My apologies for not auto-correcting myself. I do know it's Whoopi without the e. And also fair enough. I can understand being absolute with a statement regarding what she would/wouldn't do, so no disagreements there.

Oh no. Be honest. Valid criticism is needed here. As an artist and character designer, I have a HUGE issue with a lot of these. Especially the Gaston one. If someone is doing something incorrectly, or isn't accomplishing their goal, call them out on it. Not be mean mind you, but in the art world being blunt has it's…

Who was his voice actor in Hercules.

Question, and not fuel to fire, just genuine. If the trailer explicitly points out a plot point, in the attempt to entice people to see a particular film. Why is that not valid? While I dislike spoilers in any capacity, if it's general knowledge due to marketing and promotion, why do you dislike that stance?

Actually it still does. Even the voices you mentioned, the women that voiced them, altered their voice to portray a young male, or adolescent. That is why they're chosen for such roles as male voices haven't developed, pre-puberty, to the point of being that distinguishable from females. Bart Simpson is the best…

If you have to have text to help your mind associate a character with their environment, the artist has failed. Art is about communicating visually. This artist completely failed to do that. Take that character, and place him on a track and field with students. Does he look like a coach? No. He looks like a threat…

Yea really dude. It is the initial view of the work. If that description wasn't there you would not even think starting pistol. As an artist your first job is to communicate visually. This artist did not communicate in the slightest that Gaston was a PE Teacher. Most modern starting pistols are very prominently…

I thought the same. Why is he a PE Teacher if he's carrying around a gun and looks like your stereotypical thug-bro?

Uh yeah lol Shenzi was voiced by Whoopie Goldberg lol.

He begins classes at the very end of the film.

Exactly a point I made in a response to another poster. I really hate that these "Pending approvals" are around. I basically called the US Government out on being hypocritical in their "non-negotiating" practices. Here was the quote -

I feel you here. There are times where I've been with someone romantically and I've had to gauge my actions and responses to make sure that I'm not conjuring up the "that's what they used to do" mentality. Same with friends in certain situations. Not that I'm not guilty of it myself at times. I'd be lying otherwise.
