Reminds me of when I did/still am doing concept junk for my comic, which does involve a cubi and a warp-aci at some point. I gotta work on that again when I can...story better.

And I was there once when someone stole Amber's art. Didn't even erase copyright junk, just claimed it was heres. Whole reason I originally joined deviantART.


Edit:
Corrected the thread title.

Don't worry Amber: this is one aspiring writer/artist who won't forget you if he gets that far.

[Turnsky]

Don't Fret Amber, you'll get your cut. 

[superluser]

Share the wealth?

That sounds awfully socialist if you ask me.  Maybe she should take a line from Joe the Plumber:

OMG LAST PANEL SO ADORABLE

[Lego3400]

OMG... That is the cutest hobo I have ever seen. 

I'd give amber food for free 

[Kenji]

Needs more organ grinder and fluffy with a fez.

[Aleolus]

Hmmm.  This reminds me of something, but I don't know what.  Ah well.

Never fear, Amber, once I make my first million, you will recieve a 10% donation from me on an annual basis!

[Kipiru]

In some near future I may ask for a cameo from one of the DMFA cast, but would never just go and slap the characters as my own. I can't even imagine someone else doing something stupid like that. I mean, they can get caught in fraud so easily, someone would just ask them to draw something similar and they won't be able to. Stealing art is not only wrong it's moronic!

[mopman]

Arrgh ! must shut brain off from last image !

Thats a scary image  Amber,  I look forwards to the little self satire/portrait pages as much as anything else ( I mean who can forget the Amberpiller ) .

Well if I ever win the lottery I will set up a special artist fund , in the meantime I guess I will simply show my ongoing enjoyment with my ongoing support.

[Goatmon]

It's kind of amusing that I've brought up this exact subject with Amber before.

I've been concocting all manner of ideas for a webcomic project, and I asked Amber if she minded me using a character based on Fi; The character wouldn't really have much in common outside of his apperance and name, but I didn't invent him and it's only fair that I ask, if only out of politeness.

[Tapewolf]

As I told Keaton, Project Future is currently running at a glorious profit of -$11 USD per month.  If you'd like a cut, I can accept Paypal

That and put up a note stating where the character came from, including a link. That way, if you do make it big, your traffic will flow back to Amber...

[icarus]

it's kind of funny that the internet is the one place trickle-down economics actually seems to <i>work</i> to a degree. of course, you need to be sure your website can handle it. a sudden influx of several gigs worth of traffic can make some sites go kablooie.

and good old art thieves...the lot of them need a collective punch in the mouth.

[Dekari]

Well, that answers the main question I came to these forums with.

......Wait, now that means I'm going to have to write whatever it is I was thinking of writing. 
Goodbye life, hello unfinished project number 5.

[Alondro]

Meh, unless it's porn, it won't make any money anyway.   

And Hobo Amber, always remember the wisdom of the illustrious Dr. Hobo (whom we shall all miss):  Baby brains is good eats!. 


Scoop out dem brains!  :9

"Uhh... that's real fire."

Quoted for truth.

[Jer-oh-me]

Art thieves are scum, but the ones that would steal from still starving artists are the scummiest of them all! (Though, I have respect for the guys who stole the Mona Lisa, then returned it.) Whether I end up being inspired by your work, or using it in some fashion, credit will be given where credit is due, you have my promise there! No homeless Ambers and Fluffies on my account!

I'm just wondering what that implies about you Super?

[superluser]

I'm just wondering what that implies about you Super?

I don't know if you've been following the US presidential election, but in one of the debates, John McCain kept talking about a guy named Samuel Wurzelbacher, a relative of Charles Keating and contractor who was thinking of buying a company with annual profits of $150,000.  When combined with his income of $40,000, he was worried that it would push his income over $250,000 per year and result in higher taxes under Obama's plan, despite the fact that he doesn't pay his taxes anyway.

For some strange reason, McCain kept calling this guy Joe the Plumber, and attacked Obama for wanting to ``spread the wealth around.''  This was quickly expanded to a campaign strategy of people calling themselves ``<name> the <job>''.  They even set up a website where you can make signs, which quickly became a Fark cliché.  That's where the sign came from.

Yeah, it's been a screwy election year.

on a less inflamatory topic...

who had a character they created after reading DMFA? or even modified for DMFA?

[terrycloth]

I made an Aci in city of heroes...

That's about it, though.

[Ghostwish]

Just check the rp forums for my dmfa character.

[Stig Hemmer]

Hmmm.  This reminds me of something, but I don't know what.  Ah well.

Powerpuff Girls?

A very adorable artist.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Aww, Fluffy is so adorable in that last panel.

[techmaster-glitch]

It's been said already, but, aaaaawww, Hobo-Amber is such a woobie

That twisted malform that I call a character (as seen in my tower thread) is based on an idea from Amber, but not necessarily DMFA.  It's a nictarl, same as Boko.

[GabrielsThoughts]

@ Amber person, If it makes you feel better I _Always_ let you know immediately after I've used or drawn any of your characters... mostly because I doubt anyone could make monies off of your characters but you... except for Archie, especially when it's an obvious rip off.

but if you want advanced warning of something I have been working on a nymph's reply to the Merlitz meets a human arc.... I'm not going to upload until after it's finished, that way You can't ninja the plot... and you know my plots always have two or three hidden extras.

[Jer-oh-me]

DMFA inspired me to go the cute shortie route with my personal characters. After all being of no imposing stature myself it seemed to make sense!

Guilty.  Though character ideas tend to come to me like moths to a flame.  Backstories and beyond is where the real challenge and fun starts in my opinion.
