As much as I would love to have some art for Beryl, don't feel like you need to swamp yourself just to please us.

Hey their guys, April and May are important months for me so I'm not going to be available for the next two months. Just a heads up.

Okeedokee.

So I was supposed to take over the next contest after Kaithas disappeared last month, but the buildup to exams barely leaves me enough time to RP as it is. If anyone's had a contest idea burning 'em up lately, go for it.

Something I need to bring up, because I just had a major discussion with an artist friend of mine:
Should I credit images I use on RPG? Like Character Sheets and so on? Or is that protected by fair use or so on? I really have no idea and it would rest my mind if I got cleared up on it, since my friend and I are at the "breaking up" point...

I figured as long as you don't say that it's your image or something, I don't see how it matters. Maybe link The source or artist if you really feel like crediting them.

Now granted, I can't say I'm "part" of that community or whatever, but I do know many artists don't like people "using" their work without permission. Understandable enough, but unless you're using a dedicated image hosting site like Deviant Art or Danbooru, finding the artist just from a pic is pretty hard. Then you get the types who demand for you to link or whatever to a certain site, which has its own can of worms.

So long as your using the image in a nonprofit way like RPing, I don't see any legal reason you can't face claim or use other people's art. At worse you might be accused of piracy if the image normally has to be brought from the artist. But even that isn't punishable unless you're trying to turn a profit.

I've managed to track down original artists from extensive Google Image Search, SauceNao and IQDB use.

Hence why Gratia's image is sourced to a guy who tends to draw lolis.

Yeah I don't ever bother because the chances of the artist even finding out you're using their image is next to zero unless they're like your friend or something.

And even if some random artist did find out and was mad I honestly wouldn't really care cause I'm an ass like that. Though I'd probably credit the image at that point just so they'd stop pestering me if it really came to that.

So what I'm saying is it only matters if you get caught. =P

It don't matter

None of this matters

I don't usually credit the artist but that's half because I tend to not even know who said artist is.

It's certainly more polite to put those four extra words in there though.

I typically do credit the original artist. Not because I fear legal action of any sort, but as a quick throwaway phrase and to bring attention to an artist that I found and liked. The 'added protection' is simply a bonus. Like, I don't stress too much if I can't find out who the original source was. -Shrugs-

So... Anyone else looking forward to episode two of Boku no Hero Acadamia?

Never heard of it.

Apologies for my continued negligence. This is a very busy time of the year for me.

Just watched it today with my bro. I dunno, I've been spoiled by One Punch Man, not enough punchy action. And to be frank? I think I'm getting to that age where I'm tired of all these highschoolers...

You mean that moment right after they hand you your diploma?

I've got this friend who's a year out of highschool while I'm still finishing my Grade 12. Sometimes when we hang out after school when he's picking me up if he's walled in by some guys car or has to stop for j walkers he'll say "damn highschoolers". Except he skipped a grade when he was younger so most of the kids in my year at highschool are a year older than he is.

High school feels like ages ago for me now. I mean I did graduate seven years ago so it kind of was.

Japanese life ends after high school. It's stale, but I understand why they romanticize it so.

I only graduated last year and I'm doing the same as your friend. Whenever my younger sister throws a party I just lock myself in my room and mumble to myself how stupid high school parties are compared to college parties despite having never even attended a single college party once.

A few years after. I dunno, looking at it from within I realize the stupid things I've done and how I'm still doing them now, but how things could have changed if I could do the things I do now. For example I actually make money now so I can get cool shit. I can get into people's faces and argue with them without some teacher putting me in detention for causing a disturbance. I don't have to tolerate kids acting shitty with me when I can really threaten to hurt them, and it's not just an empty threat . But I digress.

But more related to My Hero Academy, I guess what I meant to say is that in getting to that point where in starting to see patterns and growing bored of it. I like the side characters more because they have more interesting quirks then the main character, who embodied the usual tropes of Shonen protagonists. Inspirring, sure, but the kid feels like liscencless rider without a Saitama as a foil. There's nothing wrong with being a hero even if you're weaker, but we all know that won't stay same for long. The kid gets stronger, he gets the respect he's he's never had, probs gets the girl, etc. It's nothing new and I guess I can't fault it for using what works. Maybe I just want something more relatable and within my age range.

Speaking of of other animes, anyone going to try to keep up with that zombie steam punk one? Made by the peeps who did Attack on titan, but I'm also getting a Tokyo Ghoul vibe from them. Might be dank.
