Why I disagree with Kony 2012Many on here and on Facebook have messaged me about the Kony 2012 movie. It's very well-made and definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet.
Kony is a terrible criminal, and I am very much for bringing him to justice. However, I do not share the enthusiasm of the overwhelming majority about the movie and the proposals put forward by the makers. Here are ten criticisms I came up with, in no particular order.
1) If something is being hyped up all around you, this is a strong signal to think for yourself. Be especially suspicious when someone wants to use FORCE to do GOOD. Paradoxically, if you REALLY care - don't fall for appeal to e

| CURRENTLY, I'M NOT ACCEPTING ANY POINT COMMISSIONS. SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE. Here's how to buy: -Contact me with a note -Read information below ~PAYMENT~ -I accept payment in points or through paypal. (remember 80 points = $1) -I give you what you pay for and you need to expect nothing less. The prices are pretty high, and if you don't like it, speak up and I'll do whatever is needed to fix it because I want you to feel like your purchase was worth every dime. -I will not start until I receive payment. -My time being how it is, i really can't manage refunds. Sorry :< -Specific prices may vary from piece to piece. Prices listed are base minimum prices and subject to change. You will be notified though, so don't worry. -Prices are set at a 3 subject maximum. More than 3 characters will cost 20% extra. -The prices are also set as regularly proportioned people. Chibi is easier for me, so it will cost 20% less. ~INVENTORY~ -I'm best with people, but I'm perfectly capable of drawing animals if the need arises. -I specialize in character art. When you say "a girl", It's kinda difficult for me to just draw a girl. I need specifics. Also, if you guys want me to draw sukyaki subaru toyota from super duper sugoi show and/or video game desu, just assume i've never heard of them and give me a picture (preferably full-body) and a one or two sentence description of their personality. (that part is really important, it translates into their body language) -Don't be afraid to ask for something. I've recently discovered I will draw pretty much anything for money. Seriously. I've drawn rule 34 before for a tank of gas. I'm a cheap-ass art prostitute. I'll let you know if i feel uncomfortable drawing what you want me to draw. ~PRICES~ Keep in mind, I'm not a haggler because I'm an absolute pushover and if I even try haggling, I'd end up taking masterpiece commissions for a dollar. Which will make me crazy and sad, and we don't want to upset the artist because then I'd cry and make CBN take starving orphans to your door and make you feel really bad about yourself. So it'd be nice to avoid that whole ordeal. There's a formulaic method that i use to figure out how much i want to charge, and I'm going to stick to it. Don't worry, buying a commish isn't like buying a car. i'm not going to rip you off xD --DIGITAL PIECES-- -dA pixel avatar 120 - 200 points, $1.50 - $2.50 Examples: I don't have any readily available except my avatar right now, unfortunately. The reason for the price discrepancy here is because i have a few methods of making these. If we're looking at something REALLY detailed, like my Will avatar, I usually draw it in a bigger space, then resize it after it's animated, which, naturally, takes a much longer time. If it's something animated, but not super detailed, then I just draw it on a 50x50 space and it doesn't take that long of a time. And if you don't even want it animated, it's not that big of a deal and will probably take me about 15-30 minutes, so they're pretty cheap and it will take everything i have to not be like "AW, PFF. NO BIG DEAL, NO CHARGE" but I won't because I'm a heartless jerk I guess -shrug-. -Solid pixel art 1000-2000 points depending on the size, $12.50 - $25 Examples:   The prices here are because, unlike soft digital art, I can't exactly resize the canvas without it looking like rat turd. Thus, bigger canvas = more pixels = more time/effort. Size, however, is up to you, and I will try my best fo' sho' to get everything exactly how you want it. -Soft digital speedpaint 600 - 800 points depending on how many characters are in the piece, $7.50 - $10 Examples:    Basically what defines a piece like this is the fact that i don't go in and clean up the lineart and it's just the underpainting. You can see every line on these pieces, and they're pretty easy to do; i can crank one of these out with one character in about 45 minutes. -Soft digital painting 1100 - 2500 points depending on the number of characters, $13.75 - $30 Examples:    These are the ones I do the most often. These guys have a pretty painterly feel to them. There's a few color leaks that give it character, and it's VERY rare that i hit the undo button while painting. Basically this is me piling on layer after layer of color until i can say WELP THIS LOOKS GOOD. I really enjoy this style, and it's a step above a speedpaint because it's almost lineless and it takes a long time trying to define each body part without making it meld into everything else. -Soft digital "masterpiece" 2000 - 3500 points depending on the number of characters, $25 - $44 Examples:    When I do these, this is when I actually ATTEMPT to make them look bootyful instead of just drawing until I'm happy with them. This is when the lineart is crisp and prim and proper and wonderful, and the shading is meticulously combed over to make sure there are NO color leaks. I'm really bad at thinking of backgrounds, which is why a lot of them are solid colors, but I can definitely do them, so if you have a background in mind, let me know, because it's probably better than anything i could come up with. |
