Uh, yeah? Still, I did say "artistic inspiration" instead of "drew different characters" (which the discussions fixed).Akerfeldt wrote:I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying that artists don't all draw exactly the same way?...Holy shit.
I was sarcastic since I didn't expect he'd mind, but obviously I've touched someone else's nerves. If he were here, it could be trolling, so I'm sorry that bugged you. I honestly don't remember hate, but I remember constructive criticism, discussion, and a troll that left (Tonnochi? I forget)But I never expected so much of the audience to hate on his art.
Ok, wow.I've often gone to great lengths to be very discriminating...so I can avoid all contact with that 90% of the human race (the fucktards). So they can be idiots in their own social circles where they discuss how much they love everything that is shit and remain completely ignorant of everything that is good.
That's excellent. And I can't imagine anyone disagreeing today. A walk through the moddb screenshots would discredit it.Alex is a talented artist and I'm dedicated to animating those new characters well enough to do his work justice
Not to be insensitive again, but aside from his frustration and departure, I feel things worked out well. HDTP has excellent characters now. Again, we can see that in the later screenshots from 2006. I can post the pre-discussion Anna/Gunther to show I'm not trolling; the Anna thread was deleted IIRC by Metche or HDTP (an unauthorized screenshot) and my later post with the screenshot back in 2006 was deleted, but I probably still have it here somewhere. I know I still have green gunther.I don't necessarily envy his ability to just say fuck everyone and leave but I can sympathize and from a cost/benefit analysis he made the right decision.
If you thought I meant today's HDTP, I can understand that since I believe you weren't active during Alex's work, and maybe you didn't read my post before that one. Otherwise, if a critical word from me makes me a troll, I can do better than that. If you know I'm not, you've a right to vent frustrations.
