Yay! More artists! And a fairly good one too! Also yay for more Roegadyn females! I'm done saying yay now. Anyway, welcome to the forums! We're still pretty much in limbo until beta arrives, but it's never too early to join the fun.

Definitely excited to see the revamp as well. I wonder what it's gonna look like...?

I can't say I recognize the face, but welcome back all the same!

wat That's the Faraday Constant, Gerik dear.

Welcome to the RPC Faraday!

Welcome back, Magnus! A lot of us are excited for ARR too.

I'm pretty sure this falls under fair use. Like it's been said before, he's not profiting off of it, and he's not claiming that it's all his original work. Granted, he could have stated more explicitly that it wasn't entirely his work, sure, but it wasn't like he was really trying to trick people. Shawnzy, you're making this out to be of more consequence than it actually is. Posting more examples won't prove you right, it only confirms what we already know. Maybe you'd be better served by finding an argument for why we should care that someone is tracing art and showing people on the internet. By the way Mtoto, I would strongly recommend that you take any works that are traced like this off DeviantArt. They only allow original works there. Don't want to see you get banned. EDIT: Goodness this thread moves fast. I can see where Shawnzy is coming from, but I highly doubt the original artist would ever find out about Mtoto's stuff. I also agree that tracing isn't a great way to improve, and it sort of cheapens the effect of a piece for me, but I'd also rather not try to be the art police and go around telling people how to draw. You have a right to be upset, Shawnzy, but putting passive aggressive messages in your sig isn't the answer.

You'll fit in fine, I'm sure of it.

I was much the same way, though I came back in earnest when they implemented the job system in.

Welcome back Shawnzy! Good to see old faces coming back.

*Tosses confetti everywhere!*

Hail Aiden, Lord of Pants. (*snerk* ) First of all, welcome to the boards! We're always happy to see new members pop in. You should be able to get started (at least in the race department) here, though if anyone's got links to more in-depth look at the races I'd welcome them. You might also want to look up some stuff about the city states, and the realms in general as well as the events relating to the Seventh Umbral Era just to catch up. Once you've got that done, you've got the advantage of being more or less as clued in as the rest of us are. The world is going to be changing drastically for A Realm Reborn and whatever your character was doing in the past before that can be figured out later (probably). If you have any questions about anything though, don't hesitate to ask. We're usually good about providing feedback.

Rhostel, why are you posting up who drew them? This is supposed to be a SECRET Santa! Guessing is half the fun! Anyway, I love Kei's sprite! The hair makes her look a bit crazy~ EDIT: Actually she looks more grumpy than crazy, which is perfect! x3

Great to have you, Silverblade! I can definitely sympathize with your FFXI experience. Playing that game was more of a struggle than it should have been, and I had the misfortune of going to a server that had almost no roleplayers that I could find. Glad to have you aboard, though! Looking forward to seeing you around.

Aysun, do you mind if I play around with your moogle smiley? :3

It's beautiful and sleek and cool and I love it so much! (the second one, obviously) Considering our situation right now, I don't know how much help I'd be, but I want to help as much as I can. <3

Hope you have a great day, Kou! ^.^

Welcome back Nahu! Hope to see you around

I haven't started either

Luckily Kei has a wiki entry where it has a picture and description of what she looks like.

That's awesome and also sort of horrifying. I think you captured Gerik's style well.

Welcome to the RPC Khrona! I take it you're from the EU, right? (Not sure why you'd be on an EU server otherwise ) Also, wow! I think the Male Miqo's are going to outnumber the Female Miqo's.
