GAH. So Preston linked me to this. Which lead to this

And that artist in question, who dealing to have all these tables? Ramy of the "I have 800 picture with ALL the same face.

No really. it's mesmerizing.

I'm really regretting not going up to him at Anime Expo and telling him he is everything wrong with anime fanart. Because now not only is he stylistically screwing over the fanart community, he's literally doing it.*

The worst is apperantly he's a REALLY good artist and just doesn't use it.

Woah, a Terra shout-out. I feel special.

It's what's wrong with art and people in general. He's too lazy to do real work, and apparently he's a conniving bastard.

And the people who buy his crap are at fault too, because they need exposure to REAL art to understand why his is shit.

Excatly. I actually blame them more then him, because if they ignored him he'd stop, but...he's an easier pin point.

Wow. I'm probably most definitely mistaken but at AnimeNEXT last year ... there was a table that looked similar to this Ramy's in the artist's alley ... and when I was looking at a booth near it, they kept shouting for me and my friend to come over and look at their things instead. I looked and then rolled my eyes and walked off because I don't want to get pushed into buying fanart, geeze. I actually am not much of a print person anyway. I have enough posters and crap as it is. I buy bookmarks and pins and stickers.

LOL @ gif. That's hilarious. xDDDDDD

This is stupid man, I really enjoy the artist's alley, and all these people are gonna kill it if goes on like this. Oh well. *facepalm*

Yeah he was probably there.

I'm like you, I like LOOKING at fanart, but I'm gonna BUY something that's pretty and somehow useful.

This is another situation in which my philosophy of "It's cheaper and less stressful to just kill those who upset you" adds another notch on the truth meter.

I hope for his sake, he never comes to one of our cons. I might just follow him to his room, pull him into a side stairway, and beat the wholly hell out of him. And the best part about a con beatdown...you could literally be dressed as a ninja when you do it!

Plus, at a con if he was like "I was beaty up by Naruto!" It'd be very "...wut."

Unfun.

Has this guy had his portfolio critiqued? Because he needs a big dose of it.

Probably not.

The sad thing is HE, himself is really good. I dunno what that crap is.
