Pissing off artists is not a good idea. Because a lot of us tend to be insane in the first place, and you never know what small, "harmless" comment might finally push us over the edge to a homicidal rampage. Also, as artists, we tend to know a lot of overstressed and underpaid friends, who also happen to be artists, and are therefore also equally unbalanced...
What am I speaking of? I am referring to careless comments left by people on artwork of original characters, comparing said original characters to some COMPLETELY UNRELATED LICENSED CHARACTER. Such as, oh, comparing a female elf character to Zelda (happened to a friend of mine), or comparing Lucas (the dude in my "Have you loved your nerd today?" picture) to Milo in Disney's Atlantis.
NOTHING PISSES OFF AN ARTIST MORE THAN HAVING THEIR ORIGINAL CHARACTERS COMPARED TO SOME OTHER SHIT CHARACTER. Don't do it. There. I've warned you all.

Sanity is the playground for the unimaginative.
I walk the fine line between genius and insanity like a drunk taking a sobriety test.
Roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF, all my base are belong to you!
...Wait...Did that make any sense? Well, if it didn't I apologize, because it's 4:27 in the morning and I need to sleep soon. <.<;
Hee hee. Thanks for the Lucas support. I'm working on a better picture of him and his love interest, and will hopefully have it done soon.

I hear Elfquest/Wendy Pini comparisons all the time. I pretty much just ignore them now, though they never really annoyed me. Could be worse, could get compared to art I dislike intensely. I think as long as it's appealing stuff I get compared to, I don't mind it.
...I was probably more pissed off because I wasn't impressed by either Milo or Atlantis.

I also really dislike the comments that try to pinpoint my character's sexuality just based off of what they look like. >>;
