((I think for now let’s start with an intro scene between the two of them? :) So that way we can chances to extend to other scenarios. But I do want to start planning something for the drawing project soon too!))

((That’s true. Start things off slowly and get them to know each other better before we go hog wild with the drawing project.

That being said, do you have an idea for a starter?))

juudo-matisu

((Hmm... that's the thing. I tend to not do too well when it comes to deciding a setting when it's characters from different games or worlds. What do you think we should do? Sorta like the radiant mythology style? Or should we treat each world more like... distant countries just discovered than different worlds?))

*raises hand!!*

((Are we going to do that ‘draw a reaction image for every post we write’ thing? Or do you want to do something a little less art heavy for a while first?))

((What happens when Lilith tries to dress like her older brother? You get Lymle.

This character doesn’t have any official art, so I had to look at several different fanarts to figure out what Lymle is supposed to be wearing. And they’re all different. So here’s my take on Kyle’s older cousin, as well. Simple pose because I’ve never drawn her before.))

This is just my personal opinion and I'm not sure if it would matter to you, but when you use your own work for your blogs, it adds a lot more personality and uniqueness to your stuff. I applaud you for it and I think others should. and... sorry. I'm terrible socially but I hope we can rp together someday. /random

((Haha, I don’t even use my own icons that often though. I think these are literally the only ones I’ve made from my own art:

Yeah. That’s literally it. And with the exception of #3 and possibly #5, they’re pretty situational. I should attempt to draw more of my own icons that aren’t as situational. ^^;

But thanks, I hope to have the chance to roleplay with you as well. ^^))

((are you interested in starting a project maybe? Like, Start a thread or scenario but we can’t respond to each other unless we use an icon we drew ourselves? Even if the scenario is extremely silly or casual. If it manages to draw out, the people involved might end up with a ridiculous amount of unique original icons. Group motivation!))

aspiringhero-archive

((Actually, that sounds like a great idea. Kill two birds with one stone kind of thing. ^^ I don’t mind casual and silly - that’s how the most universal icons would come out of the project. Yay for a group effort!))

juudo-matisu

((!! :D S-So if we arrange this (ie, brainstorm a scenario or some and decide which we should tack - and I think if people want to join in, that would be great!) you're in to try it out? I'm actually really really excited about this. X3 ))

((But… your art is really really cute and charming. O_o` You definitely should draw more!))

aspiringhero-archive

((Yeah, I suppose it is, but the problem I have is that it takes me forever to draw anything. I’m a really slow artist, lol. XD))

uses-both-hands

((Can I join in and say I second little Jude’s opinion on how cute your icons are? Also, can I commiserate about the slow artist thing? ;__; *can’t produce good art quickly enough for making personalized icon sets*))

aspiringhero-archive

((Aaahhhh, everybody’s being so kind. My face is starting to turn red. XD;

It’ll take me a million years, but I guess I could make my own icons. Maybe I’ll start working on some new stuff tomorrow. Redraw some of the icons I commonly use in my own style kind of thing? I don’t know. XD;))

ATTN Fandoms and Roleplayers

This is really getting out of hand that there are now people making Icon repository blogs that involve mass cropping, slicing, and editing fanart for the sake of making icons for everyone to use. While yes the intentions seem kind and you shrug and say it’s for fun and games and that it’s okay, you are making an ethical mistake here.

What’s worse is these blogs would announce that they dare not credit the people who these art belongs to because it takes “too much time and effort” and that’s ALL that’s REQUIRED, belittling the fact that the original artists took MORE TIME AND EFFORT TO MAKE THAT ART THAT THEY JUST VANDALIZED.

Stating that you do not own the fanart you cropped or used for your blog is not GOOD ENOUGH AS A MAKE-SHIFT CREDIT.

IF YOU DO NOT CREDIT THE ARTIST PROPERLY, AND YOU ARE SHAMELESSLY TAKING FAME OUT OF THEIR WORK, YOU ARE STILL STEALING THEIR WORK.

If you are going to touch their work, you are OBLIGATED TO NOT ONLY PROPERLY SOURCE BUT ASK FOR THEIR PERMISSION.

WHY in the WORLD is this CONCEPT so HARD for people to UNDERSTAND?

Please, I beg of you. if you have any ounce of REAL respect for all the artists/fanartists out there. Don’t support, condone, or encourage such reckless, CARELESS, and SHAMELESS actions done against artists who aren’t even aware their work are being bastardized.

People also tend to blame the language barrier as to why they don’t bother to seek out the artist or contact them. It’s high time you realize that this is the same for them.

There have been a number of cases when artists who find out or encounter their work has been plagiarized, vandalized, cropped, sliced, or used without their permission who TAKE DOWN THEIR ENTIRE SITE BECAUSE THEY FEEL POWERLESS BECAUSE OF THE LANGUAGE BARRIER.

They would remove their art from sight because they don’t think they can DO anything to stop you.

YOU as the fandom are making a very big mistake for shrugging this off as something minor when you claim you RESPECT THEM.

DON’T YOU DARE HALF ASS THIS IF YOU LOVE THEIR WORK. If you want to keep enjoying it and respecting them as you claim,

ASK BEFORE YOU ACT.

uses-both-hands

Just to add my two cents here, saying that the artist can come and talk to you if they have an issue with it instead of your asking for permission to modify (and essentially bastardize) their artwork is an excuse of the worst kind.

Yes, I agree that there likely is a language barrier between you and the artists (especially if the art comes from Pixiv), but this does not give you the permission to say that they should come and talk to you when they also face the same problem.

I say that as someone who, when I first started RPing, did the effort to contact artists, even if my sentences in Japanese were very basic and went along the lines of “I don’t speak Japanese, but I like your art. Can I please use it?”. I used Babelfish (for those of you who know about it) to help translate those sentences and sent it off to the artists.

The end result? They either

accepted to let me do so (sometimes going as far as doing the modifications themselves so they could ensure the quality of the icons)

refused and politely thanked me for contacting them about it.

Although, sometimes, I couldn’t get a reply from them because they realized individuals overseas essentially stole their art and, before I knew it, banned any overseas IP from accessing their websites/art accounts. Worse was when they realized they couldn’t do anything and chose to simply delete all of their artwork, penalizing all fans.

TL;DR - Please respect the artists who put effort into making such wonderful artwork and don’t do this behind their backs. You’re going to anger the artists and then make everyone who loves their art either sad or furious or a terrifying combination of both.

Reason #1 why I don’t actively RP on tumblr.

juudo-matisu

I actually found out from someone that members of the RP fandom hate me and have actively ignored me for sharing these thoughts to peers. I think it's fine if you do. It doesn't change the fact that supporting or condoning such actions is ethically wrong.
