I'm not dead!

I just have a job. It eats up an awful lot of my time right now.
On the other hand it pays money so it's hard to complain.

Art Theft Everywhere
1 min read
Lately I've been running a group for Shingeki no Kyojin fanart ( I love that manga! ) and it's totally opened my eyes to how much art theft actually goes on on Deviantart.
Like, seriously people. Seriously. If you see someone's fanart up on pixiv or tumblr, you can't just download it, put a photoshop filter and your signature on it, and then post it like it's yours!
Then there are the people who make accounts just to post art they copy off of some other popular artist's website. I just don't understand what the reward is? Like it's not like you get paid for having a DA account, and most of these people aren't trying to sell prints.
I know it also seems like a victimless crime but remember that we artists do get emotionally invested in our work, so we get upset when people use it without at least giving us some credit.

Mostly because I've been reading more Korean webtoons lately than manga. You can't color a page of Tower of God or Noblesse.
Anyway. I would be happy to have some suggestions. Keep in mind that I have zero interest in coloring a page that isn't like some kind of badass action.

Stop drawing my little ponies with deformed human bodies instead of horse bodies. It's really creeping me out.
If you want people to think that your obsession with that show is not some creepy bestiality thing, drawing Nightmare Moon with a human torso and thighs is not helping your case.
This is what a horse looks like: spotonlists.com/wp-content/upl…
Notice a lack of human-shaped thighs. Notice the lack of a thin waist and wide hips, since horses are quadrupeds. Now I know you can say "but it's a cartoon I can do what I want!" or even "They aren't real ponies they're imaginary so they can be humanoid if I want!" and it's not like you'd be wrong. But when you make them into creatures with horse heads and sexy lady bodies, every person who sees that picture is going to think one of two things, depending on if they are into weird MLP art or not:
1. I'm into this stuff and so I love it. I will post a creepy comment that tries really hard to let the artist know that I find the drawing sexy without just coming out and saying that this is what turns me on.
2. I'm either not into this stuff or just don't know about it. I will find the art interesting but also unsettling on many levels, even if I can't understand completely that I'm looking at a horse with a human torso. I will then notice all those comments trying to imply that they think it's sexy without coming right out and saying so. I will not necessarily say anything, but I will be creeped out. I will be VERY creeped out.
