Blather.

I've been browsing through the gallery for dA's Okami contest and some of the fanart is good, some of it is isn't all that great honestly, some have obviously copied/traced the official artwork for their piece (which, surprisingly, hasn't bothered as much as I thought it would), and some...have actually uploaded the original artwork as their own. WTF.

Okay, so it really isn't all that surprising that official artwork is being uploading (since the internet is full of suck), but. Damn. How irritating.

Also, I'm pretty sure I have a kidney infection (or, at the very least, a bladder infection)! Thus, my mood isn't at its best. Hopefully I can schedule an appointment with the horrible Dr. M before I start peeing blood or something.

...you're so right. :( Taking those materials given for the contest and applying some filters in Photoshop doesn't count as art!!!

The pieces are so samey, I'm trying to think of something different to do.

Yeah, my main issue was with the ones who relied heavily on the resources given, and especially with those who uploaded original images from the Okami art (http://www.okamiart.com/gallery.php) site as their own. Luckily the latter have been banned.

So I take it you're going to enter the contest? Then I look forward to seeing you entry since I always enjoy what you post on golden_omelette and on your lj. :) ...which you would probably know if I didn't stop myself from capslocking and throwing hearts all over your posts. XD I kinda weird like that.

:/ Who would do that?! Seriously!?!?!?

And aww, you can capslock away! ♥ I'm planning to enter but I'm having trouble thinking about colouring. Hmm.
