My scanner is really crappy, plus I was scanning from a spiral-bound book so much of the detail is lost...

I am really proud of Huey1.jpg as it looks like the thing it's meant to be. It's a character from the Boondocks (www.boondocks.net).


My first two vectors:

www.swankstudios.com/dump/shirt_war.jpg

This was my first time using Illustrator and it's really hard to get used to. Not that that's an excuse for my sh*tty graphics.

I like the shirt war one - kinda

haha telemakhos man - Just read the FAQ on that boondocks site - did you get permission to use their stuff as avatar?

Q: Can I use your images for stuff?
A: Everything is copyrighted, just so you know. But we do have some guidelines because we know how much you all love the l'il kids. If you want to use an image on a WEBSITE, you must include our copyright info and a link to Boondocks.net. Running the banner is even better. DO NOT ALTER OUR IMAGES! Even if your boys told you you're nice with Photoshop. Another thing, DO NOT HYPERLINK OUR IMAGES!!! This costs us money in bandwidth charges! Do not put our images on your page by putting our server's URL's into your HTML code. Save them and upload them to your own directory. Last thing, all this permission is voided if you use our pictures for questionable purposes. Only clean, decent stuff please, and you can't be MAKING MONEY on your site if you use our images. If you can't comply, we will send the rabid lawyers after you to do nasty things. If any of you eagle-eyed fans see someone using the 'Docks images in a way that isn't cool, please email us right away. As for any other non-internet usage? Email us for specifics. (...back)

Pfft.

...I am not using it in a website...but you do have a point. Perhaps I will email them on the matter. I don't really see how using it hurts them...

Anyways, thanks for the feedback.

http://www.boondocks.net

eh? me? I already know the link man - That's where I took the quote from... No need to shout

I SUFFER FROM VOICE IMMODULATION, DO NOT MAKE FUN OF ME. ONE IN EVER BILLION PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BY THIS CRIPPLING DISEASE. DO YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY?

You have to watch SNL to get that....

:D

Oh I wouldn't dare make fun of you sahib, I am but poor hungry designer living in banana republic - trying to steal honest american jobs ... no TV here sahib - we no catchy capitalist shows. All we ever get is re-runs of Bonanza here.

However I do think that we kinda stretched the rambling in a section dedicated to digital art....not crappy remarks:D (mine included of course). So I'll stop. If you want to continue with the immodualtions of your no doubt beautiful soprano - open up another thread in Misc there are plenty of sensless ones already...

hey i lov old Bonanza ......
he he

hell, it's boondocks. It's widely known enough for people to know you didnt make that avatar.

I doubt anyone would bitch if someone made a homer simpson avatar or something.. it's pretty widely known, anyway.


sure, technically, you might be infringing, but honestly i dont think you're doing any harm here.
