Hello my lovely Droogs and Droogets...

Apparently I havent been giving credit where credit is due (as so pointed out by RougeBat here [link] )

THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING ARTISTS FOR BEING SO GOOD THAT I DECIDED TO BORROW POSES OR POSSIBLY SHADING, MAYBE A FEW OTHER THINGS FROM MAYBE EVEN COPY FREE HAND, WHICH I HAVE NEVER POSTED ON ANY SITE, SIMPLY TO EMULATE AND PRACTICE BECAUSE OF THEIR ARTISTIC GREATNESS.

TheBob74
King_Cheetah
Vashperado
Fred Gallagher
Hawk & Anath
Jin Wicked
, ETC

the artists of a number of web comics i read
(VG cats, Megatokyo, Applegeeks, Mac Hall, Peter is the wolf, Shifters, anything on Snafu, etc)

The artists of many comics and manga
(transformers, battle gods, battle vixens, Hellsing, etc)

and let us not forget those who many artist have probably emulated without citing for the last ...well since before they died,
Leonardo davinci
van goh
Salvador dali
, etc.

regardless to say, i live by an important artistic creed taught to me by my high school art teacher, Mr. Michelson.

"your good when people want to buy your work, You're GREAT when someone wants to steal it."

along with this important saying that dates back ages.

"copying is the greatest form of flattery."

so in conclusion to this journal brought on by the words of someone, that if i may say, has yet to post any actual work themself (miss rougebat) i have this to say to anyone that i may have borrowed from

I only borrow or copy to learn and to show my love of another piece of artwork.

sorry if i have pissed off any of the artists that i have done this to, and for those that are, I have moved all those works to my scraps simply out of respect and to show that they are only sketches i have done out of respect and love.
