Are you shitting me?  I’ll draw whatever I please, asshat.  Because it pleases me, not because it pleases you.

This goes to everyone.  If you really have super opinions about what an artist should or should not draw, think about what THEY want to draw.  Because that’s all that actually matters.

Furthermore I think you’ve got a bad eye if you really think this isn’t my style.  Seriously?

Fuck off.

I really cannot stand people who try to be the art police, it’s as fucking stupid as body policing in that there’s no reason people do it except to feel like they have some level of control over the world & other people. It’s nothing more than people with big egos trying to make themselves seem important.

Artists draw what they want to draw, and unless you’re paying them, you have no say. Full stop. If it’s not harmful material, why is it a problem if an artist wants to draw lots of fanart?

I’ve been seeing shit like this more and more lately and it pisses me right the fuck off. Art policing is not critique. Critique is helpful. Telling people not to draw something because you don’t want them to is not.

I agree with the above statement.  Artists do what they do because they enjoy it.  They will draw what they want to draw WHEN THEY WANT TO DRAW IT.

Purplekecleon is one of my favorite artists on DeviantArt.  One of the reasons is because she puts her own spin on fandoms.  I’m a HUGE fan of her Pokemon work especially, and that was actually how I stumbled onto her gallery.  Her color work is amazing and I love the painterly style.

Purplekecleon, you keep doing what you do!
