Ronnie Omake...
This is merely someting I decided to do at random.. a series of comics revolving around things that get on my nerves... I'm really gonna only draw these when I feel like it, so it's not a serious thing... this one may be an exception though...

Now, I consider the position of artist to be kinna sacred, y'know? you're blessed with the ability to draw, or photograph, or write, or sculpt! Whatever your talent is, you outta be happy you have it and happy for those arond you who have it as well..... Lately, I've been seeing a lot of disgrace to the honor of artists by other artists... and it really, it bugs me. This is what mainly inspired this comic. Now, while the comic specifically mentions expansion artists, it also refers to other fetish artists as well.

The Troll/Oni thing (whom I'll Call Troni McBigNose O_o; ) you see there represents the douchebag in people.... I plan to make him appear alot in comics like these playing the role of those who irritate me. In this role, he demonstrates my observations of several of the rude masses on DA...... I've managed to make a little group of those represented, actually.

Trolls: people who seem to flame for the sake of flaming, seem incapable of going without saying "faggot" in every sentance. Sometimes they're artists, sometimes they're just genuine assholes.

Hypocrites: Willing to bash other fandoms to no end, but are part of an odd fandom themselves (I.E. I've noticed that a chunk of the expansion art bashers seem to be into Yaoi)

Elitists: Artists I consider a huge disgrace to the art community. People whose art is exceptionally good, however they're not above saying the cruelest things about another's work. They seem to act like the only good art is normal (or their) art. They seem to have a burning hatred for expansion artists (or fetish artists in general) with high page views, as if the artists themselves have the magical abilitiy to control the page view flow. Often, their comments about expansion art seem to involve the words "gross" and "disgusting" as if comparing expansion art to vomit or shit.

They also seem to think that expansion art isn't art because the person is inflated. To me, that's the same as saying colored artwork isn't artwork because there's color in it. In addition, they think expansion art takes little or no effort. What they don't seem to realize is that it actually can be considerably hard to draw. Especially when coming up with a dynamic or generally decent pose and angle. Not every expansion artist just draws a circle with hands, feet and a head. I believe before acting like an ass and bashing someone else's artwork, they, themselves should attempt to draw said work, THEN say how "little effort" goes into it (although you do risk getting a huge chunk of expansion or other fetish lovers faving it just because of the expansion aspect... probably the only part of the expansion community I don't like, honestly)

There's also a group of people who appear to believe that expansion work is degrating to women (odd how you never hear that about male expansion art), and while that may be true in their eyes, it's certainly not the artist's intent to be degrading, it's just them drawing what they want and enjoy. (unless they're only doing it for hits '_'; )

oh uh.... by he way...I know this ain't my best work, but I wasn't really thinking about that... Troni's design was kinda on the fly '_';
