Description
Linkara is the pseudonym for Lewis Lovhaug, a Minnesotan comic book reviewer and author. The name comes from a series of self-published books that he wrote at ages 14-19 (and subsequently plans to revisit since he wants to revise them to fix plot problems, characterizations, and various other mistakes he made because he was young and inexperienced).Usually appearing seated on a sofa, he wears a distinctive trilby hat and brown coat, usually over a charcoal t-shirt. He will also sometimes brandish a flintlock pistol (which is fake) and the Green Ranger Dragon Dagger as seen in the TV series Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
I used the pose for the painting. It took me a few hours to paint, and I made it my self. I used Watercolors

Wow, that is an amazing painting. I'm impressed at your ability. I especially like how everything is kinda blurry, almost like a bad photoshop filter. Doesn't it just make for a wonderful style? And wow, that only took you a few hours? You are most certainly deserving of the name which you have given yourself, for you are quite 'cool'. Just like spy. Ja, er du definitivt spy, du late jรฆvel.

Lol, you didn't even try to translate that Norwegian part, did you? Of course you didn't. Moron.

Well, as you are obviously lazy and/or stupid enough that, were I to lead you directly to a translator you would still do nothing, I shan't bother, and shall instead convey to you the intent and basic meaning behind my words.
I dropped the sarcasm entirely and called you both bile and a lazy bastard. How you were unable to see through the VERY thinly veiled lies in the first part of my post is beyond me. In fact, I'm sure that you understood none of the comments on this that weren't blatant criticism.
Trust me, my comment on your profile was much harsher.

Two things:
One - I can see the pixels, DevintheDumb.
Two - This type of artstyle is, in a fact, impossibly to do with watercolors. You see that glass fray edging on everything? *nods* Impossible with water colors. There isn't a way to spot watercolors because it'll bleed in the paper. You have to use oils, I believe. And I doubt you painted anything with oils that was small enough to fit on a scanner.

Really? You're just hiding the comments that point out all the ways in which this nonsense fails and will not fly? REALLY?
...yeah, you know you've been reported by about 5 people now, right? Actually probably more... You can hide this comment if you want, it's going to be posted elsewhere, and DevArt TOS still has a bunch of people who've submitted screenshots of you claiming this is your work in case you happen to feel like hiding your own comments too, links to where this original screenshot is hosted, the video it came from, and a few other of your "pop art" BS spam submissions.
Dude. Nothing in your gallery is your art. You are the friggin Andy Warhol of spam. We were tolerating it as long as you were just dumping it into the gallery with very little description -- because frankly, the point of a fan art gallery is not to discriminate good and bad art -- but we will not tolerate you actually claiming that this crap is your own original art. Every producer on that site works hard to make their own videos at their own expense. You may not be making a dime off this, but that does not make it okay for you to take screenshots -- SOMEONE ELSE'S screenshots, no less -- and slap a photoshop filter on them and claim that it is your own art. You don't own this image, you didn't create this image, you didn't copy this image from a reference by hand... this picture represents 32 seconds of effort on your part and whether you're profiting from it or not, it is not okay for you to claim that any part of this belongs to you.
Get bent. And know that your thieving behind is getting reported until your thieving behind gets what it deserves. Obviously you haven't paid enough attention, or you'd know that in this fandom, ALL of the reviewers are independent producers, ALL of their photoshop artists and title card artists are independent contractors who work on commission, and the vast majority of the fans here understand and respect the effort and risk and value of what we all have to do to follow our passion and do what we love. We will NOT let you devalue that by plagiarizing the frigging Wiki, of all places, and pretending that you've ever done anything that has ever done anything but insult their efforts with your shitty quality.

That was a reference photo.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Okay, then what are you referencing? Are you using the pose from the photo? Did you take the photo yourself? Why is there a filter over the photo? When did you take the photo? Did Linkara sign a release form for his image to be used on this website? Did you pay him compensation for his time? Do you even know him personally? If this photograph isn't yours, did you pay the photographer for the use of his or her photograph?
If you plan on using the photo for actual art:
What materials are you using? How long did/will it take you? What was your reason? Practice? For fun? For research on poses? Are you doing a series of the tgwtg.com group? (These are questions that will no doubt be asked when one of your pieces is submitted for a plagiarism review.)
It doesn't matter if that picture is a reference or not, unless you were actually at the hotel/convention center where they filmed that mini-movie and took that photo with a camera, it's not yours. And taking that picture, slapping a crappy photoshop filter over it and posting it as a "painting" of your own device (especially on this site) is plagiarism, and you can get a heavy fine for this unless the original photographer waives the charges.
I suggest that you take this down and replace it with the "actual" painting you claim that you did while using this photograph as your reference. Otherwise, you will probably get penalized with a ban if the admins find the offense serious enough.
Either that or explain in the artist's comments about the piece rather than a mini Linkara bio.

KINDA REMINDS ME OF THIS [link] WHICH IS PROBABLY YOUR REFERENCE PICTURE FOR THE PAINTING YOU CLEARLY DREW YOURSELF AND DIDN'T USE THE PHOTOSHOP FILTER.
