Sorry for dropping off the face of RpN for a brief amount of time. Yesterday I got a new type of chemotherapy and it hit me hard. Then we went home and I couldn't take meds cause barf and... It's a 6 hour long story
"Stay, you're not gonna leave me
This place is right where you need to be
And why your words gotta mean so much to them,
When they mean nothing to me?
So stay, you're not what you're hearing
Cause I've been watching you changing
And who said you're one in a million?
I hate that there's so much negativity in the art community around copying directly from other pictures.
Sure, it's bad to copy another artist's picture and claim that you're the original creator, but copying pictures on your own time can be very useful in learning the different aspects and techniques other artists use.
Rest in peace, Stan Lee. I've not read your comics, but the way your work has transformed has certainly changed the world and made history - history that I hope will continue on and keep the bar raised for the rest of our creators.
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say...
