Having criticized joonp earlier in this thread, I feel I have to defend him now. I still don't agree with his concept of the wallpaper not being decent fan art (which I think it is, despite the sexual undertone and only cursory connection to SC2).

But the amount of flak he's taking right now, especially on a personal level - that's unneccessary. The discussion's not even about the picture itself, but about the whole concept of fan art, and even if you don't agree with joonp's point of view, there's no need to overact like some people here do.

Calling his arguments "ridiculous" (@Unas) is just wrong, because they are well thought out after all. And suggesting a "hidden resent to sexuality" (@haflo) ... seriously, what did you smoke before posting?


His arguments are rediculous.

Let's examine:

"you have bad taste in art, and bad taste in everything if you think that is decent fan art"

There's just nothing there...

"Alright, the fact that it isn't fan art is not subjective, you're right, there's no way anyone could ever consider that decent fan art."

again, no substance...

"And the banshee pilot is NOT sexy in the game, are you kidding me bro? Just because it's a woman it is automatically "SEXY"? If that isn't the most sexist degrading shit I ever read."

I never said she was sexy because she was a woman... and even if I had, how would that be degrading?

Rediculous. All of it.

The woman is wearing a banshee pilot uniform. The art is based on a character from SC. This makes it fan art. There's really nothing to argue about. Joonp doesn't like the fan art. That's fine. But there's absolutely no reason to attack the artist. He's a classic troll. I probably shouldn't even acknowledge him, but I did.

THIS is what I think when I see it.


If you want to do fanart of the banshee pilot, do fanart of the banshee pilot. With the blue suit and the heals, this appears to be closer to Samus with recolored hair, not the Banshee pilot.

But regardless, I am now going to get attacked for disliking the picture or something anyways, so I'm not even sure why I bothered to post.


No, you're going to get attacked for not reading the thread. OP said more than once that this is specifically the rogue banshee pilot from the single player game. She even posted her portrait:

As you can see, she has a different color suit than the normal banshee pilot.

Jpoon or w/e has a point on the whole "relatedness to SC". While everything else he said was stupid you should take his criticism on that point better in order to make your work significant. Honestly its probably worth more to you than all these other people going "omG its aMaZiNg"

Obviously the picture is supposed to be focusing on the pilot, so I doubt you want the banshee to actually be more apparent (although imo it should be), but I would definately not be able to make the connection between "banshee pilot" and this picture unless someone actually pointed it out. Like the hair, the suit colour, and the generic background doesn't really scream anything "banshee". You could have added something like dominion decals to her suit and it would be clearer (also it would take the plainness out of the suit imo), thats just one example I quickly came up with.

Personally I think it would be pretty awesome if the background was like CHAR and BC's are exploding above.. but then you got this banshee pilot all like "w/e idc". Call it "ghost-riding" with clear emphasis on the pun. Thats prolly not in your artistic vision though

tlDR The picture in itself is pretty good, but like jpoon I wouldn't exactly call it starcraft

[/QUOTE]

And the banshee pilot is NOT sexy in the game, are you kidding me bro? Just because it's a woman it is automatically "SEXY"? If that isn't the most sexist degrading shit I ever read. Her suit is a bit bulky, and her helmet isn't a brimming arousing accessory. Saying she is sexy is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. In that video you posted she even has a tube coming out of her throat. I don't know who finds that sexy.[/QUOTE]

If you honestly can not grasp the concept of why calling any given woman sexy for the sake of her womanhood as degrading then I'm not even going to bother explaining anything to you, as you have already proven to be an idiot, as are most people ITT who will literally praise anything regardless of its integrity. (like you, if you didn't get the hint)

And no, I don't have a hidden resentment towards sexuality, now THAT is truly ridiculous. I do, however, have a resentment for people who abuse and overuse sexuality and the people who endlessly respond to it like mindless apes without self control.

That isn't what makes a community great. Creating mindless idiotic things does not enrich anything.

That's like saying since "talented" people put a lot of time into making porn it enriches the world.

Why would I appreciate it just because time was put into it? Hitler put time into murdering millions of people, should I appreciate that? He was also very talented at it. He was a talented person who put time into it, that doesn't justify it as correct.

I never said I love ugly aliens blowing up in space. Where did I say that? You're clearly a moron with nothing real to say about anything I've been saying except ranting nonsensically like the idiot you are.

His assumption that women are only sexy because of the clothing they wear is ridiculous.

I never made any assumptions about women only being sexy because of clothing, rofl your arguments are actually ridiculous, not mine. But yes, clothing CAN have an effect on the sexiness and attractiveness of a person. Do you really think that's a ridiculous concept? ROFL, jesus christ the people on this board.

So, nothing personal, heh?

You really need to get over yourself. I mean, what are you talking about?
Just let the folk like what it wanna like.

You don't have to like it, but you friggin have to tolerate it.
So, please, if you don't have anything to say besides your antisexual flaming, just shut up. I personally don't care for this "women aren't sexsymbols herpderp" shit. If a woman wants to look sexy overall, then it is, because she want it. You can't wear hotpants and then expect that no one would look at you.

So what? Don't you look after good looking women when you walk the street? No? Maybe you're gay? (I don't have anything against that.. i just wanna figure out, what it is that makes you so aggressive about this shit.)
And no, it has nothing to do with "beeing a sex starved teenager". I know much more older guys whom are even more nasty than any teenager i know.

So, please just get outta here, if you don't like it, but stop with this stupid "propaganda".
Goddamn...
Saying "gg" when you're winning essentially has the same effect as gloating, which is a poor quality to showcase to the public.

Your arguments are so full of holes and completely comprised of ad hominem it's painful to read. Yes, this artist should've done fan art by copying exactly how the banshee is depicted ingame and not deviate from that (that was sarcasm by the way.) Do you know how much art over the entire history art is simply the artists' interpretations of existing ideas/stories?

Second, your outrage over the sexualization of the pilot is just too funny. Someone has some repressed sexuality issues here. I guess all artists should just make their subjects fat and unattractive. Wouldn't want to degrade them.

I never made any assumptions about women only being sexy because of clothing, rofl your arguments are actually ridiculous, not mine. But yes, clothing CAN have an effect on the sexiness and attractiveness of a person. Do you really think that's a ridiculous concept? ROFL, jesus christ the people on this board.


Your arguments are so full of holes and completely comprised of ad hominem it's painful to read. Yes, this artist should've done fan art by copying exactly how the banshee is depicted ingame and not deviate from that (that was sarcasm by the way.) Do you know how much art over the entire history art is simply the artists' interpretations of existing ideas/stories?

Second, your outrage over the sexualization of the pilot is just too funny. Someone has some repressed sexuality issues here. I guess all artists should just make their subjects fat and unattractive. Wouldn't want to degrade them.

Yes, it's very easy to say that arguments are full of holes. No, it isn't easy to actually back up what you say.

Did I say that she should have copied a banshee exactly? Where did I say that? Care to quote it moron or are YOU the one actually pulling ad hominems out of your ass? Oh right you are. Looks like just another idiot lined up to get shot down.

Oh really? Is that what art is? Care to give me another lesson? And no, just because people can interpret things differently doesn't make their interpretations good or worthy of praise. You're a complete moron.

No, just because idiots like you jump on any bit of hentai they can doesn't mean over sexualization can never be an issue and if you point it out you have repressed issues. Pretty sure that's another ad hominem. Gee, you sure are a hypocrite for some one criticizing for ad hominems. Wowee!! Who would have thought some one would be such a moron. And no, you can be attractive and not be blatantly overtly sexual. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Your arguments are shit.

You really need to get over yourself. I mean, what are you talking about?
Just let the folk like what it wanna like.

You don't have to like it, but you friggin have to tolerate it.
So, please, if you don't have anything to say besides your antisexual flaming, just shut up. I personally don't care for this "women aren't sexsymbols herpderp" shit. If a woman wants to look sexy overall, then it is, because she want it. You can't wear hotpants and then expect that no one would look at you.

So what? Don't you look after good looking women when you walk the street? No? Maybe you're gay? (I don't have anything against that.. i just wanna figure out, what it is that makes you so aggressive about this shit.)
And no, it has nothing to do with "beeing a sex starved teenager". I know much more older guys whom are even more nasty than any teenager i know.

So, please just get outta here, if you don't like it, but stop with this stupid "propaganda".
Goddamn...

I don't have to tolerate anything. What kind of idiotic line of reasoning is that?

Yes, I know you are an ignorant moron who supports women being nothing but sex symbols and having no depth, intelligence, or personality or any real traits besides being sex symbols.

ROFL at the ignorant retards saying because I dislike blatant sex symbols I'm GAY! ROFL! Wow, you are such an ignorant fuck you aren't worth talking to. I literally can not believe what a disgusting idiot you are.

Why isn't some one who is ignorantly gay bashing banned yet? Or saying I have repressed sexual issues? How many people have cussed at me?

I think I deserve a plaque, and everyone mindlessly insulting me with no reasoning behind it deserves to be banned.

My logic isn't wrong. Posting a list of fallacies does not make any of them apply to me except for maybe a few ad hominems in response to personal attacks on me.

Please stop responding CheekyDuck, you will never have 100% of the people on the internet agree with you, and it just wastes your time responding to the vocal minority.

Great job on the banshee BTW, and good luck in the future!

Jpoon or w/e has a point on the whole "relatedness to SC". While everything else he said was stupid you should take his criticism on that point better in order to make your work significant. Honestly its probably worth more to you than all these other people going "omG its aMaZiNg"

Obviously the picture is supposed to be focusing on the pilot, so I doubt you want the banshee to actually be more apparent (although imo it should be), but I would definately not be able to make the connection between "banshee pilot" and this picture unless someone actually pointed it out. Like the hair, the suit colour, and the generic background doesn't really scream anything "banshee". You could have added something like dominion decals to her suit and it would be clearer (also it would take the plainness out of the suit imo), thats just one example I quickly came up with.

Personally I think it would be pretty awesome if the background was like CHAR and BC's are exploding above.. but then you got this banshee pilot all like "w/e idc". Call it "ghost-riding" with clear emphasis on the pun. Thats prolly not in your artistic vision though

tlDR The picture in itself is pretty good, but like jpoon I wouldn't exactly call it starcraft

[/QUOTE]

And the banshee pilot is NOT sexy in the game, are you kidding me bro? Just because it's a woman it is automatically "SEXY"? If that isn't the most sexist degrading shit I ever read. Her suit is a bit bulky, and her helmet isn't a brimming arousing accessory. Saying she is sexy is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. In that video you posted she even has a tube coming out of her throat. I don't know who finds that sexy.[/QUOTE]

LOL? not hot? u kidding? wow.

[/QUOTE]



wow some people will argue and whine about anything. How is a banshee pilot with her banshee helmet not related to SC2?
