drat those arkh boys, they drive me to drink

i dont like art theft
Not defending it or anything, but is it really “art theft” if they’re taking something from real life and then putting it on a character? Is it art theft if a dude wears a blue t-shirt?
it’s about speceficity. A blue t-shirt on your original character wouldn’t be out of line, but what about a blue t-shirt with a green backpack, dark blue shorts, brown boots, and a bunny hood hat thing? Sure would be. What about a few years back when Buckley introduced a new character that was heavily inspired by another artist’s design? Most people agreed that was bad form.
There’s a difference between referencing a common article of clothing like a business suit jacket or a polo shirt and using it as a piece in a design and taking one-of-a-kind original pieces of haute couture and completely recreating the entire ensemble for your own profit. This isn’t even an “inspired by” deal, this is a designer’s original piece directly copied onto their game character, I assume without permission. If a clothing company “took inspiration” from this in the same way, that would be what we call bootlegging.
The original design is from Lebanese creator Zuhair Murad, from his Spring 2007 collection, I believe. You are more than welcome to go to his site and read the legal section specifying that you cannot produce derivative work from his collections for purposes other than your own personal non-commercial use if you’d lke.
Thanks for the explanation. Didn’t know how fashion worked in that regard.
This isn’t art theft, this is taking inspiration from real life and incorporating it into one’s art. And Matt, if your blue t-shirt remark was in reference to Finn, I think I love you hahaha.
/shifty eyes. Maybe.

Recorded a podcast with Anand Ram this past week about comics, comics journalism and ambition. I open up a little bit about my own struggles with finding my passion with work, and my insecurities when it comes to my writing.
Please, give it a listen!

Then a bunch of whiny teens started joining, then it got totally lame.
We moved to Facebook, which was totally awesome at first, but then the Myspace users moved to Facebook too. So Facebook sucks now.
I’m starting to see some of my peers…
Get off my lawn, etc etc. Just go to Google Plus, or just stop following/adding people you don’t want to deal with.
I don’t understand people who think they’re obligated to follow people that genuinely give them discomfort.
Why the black guy gotta wear Black?
And the asian girl wearing yellow?

Haha, I went to a Power Rangers panel at Otakon last year, and the guy was saying that they really didn’t realize this.
The Red Ranger could’ve also been a Native American
I don’t know if that would’ve been better or worse, though
And the hot girl (who later went into porn?) gotta wear pink… and a skirt?
That’s
sexy (wait this is a kid’s show)sexist.I don’t have a gif, but I’m sure one of you will help me out…
Unfortunately there wasn’t anything out of place about the Blue ranger.
He was an asshole, though.
The Pink Ranger didn’t go into porn. She’s actually still acting in a Canadian TV show right now.
We at Comic Vine strongly believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion. We each have our own voice. We can’t always see completely eye to eye and it would probably be boring if we did. Below is the original review for this issue by Matt Demers. As Editior-in-Chief of Comic Vine, I didn’t feel it completely fit with our previous approach toward reviewing this title and general perspective. So in the interest of sharing an alternate take, we’re including both reviews, which we hope you’ll read as further insight into the quality of this issue.
