[5] Small Art Update

Black Cat - Creed tempting Train.
Heeeeeeeeere Kitty Kitty Kitty... *snickers*

Random Kid Pic.
I have no idea what's up with this pic. It doesn't want more details, it doesn't want colour, Kid just wants to sit there and contemplate the meaning of his life. And possibly jumping, but he's got the hang glider, I don't know... ¬_¬
Was happy when I drew this, really I was.

Kaitou Hakuba?!
Ha! WHO'S the thief NOW?! ^________^

[Edit:]
vikki has a lovely rant about Fanart.
Our two cents about it:
We once heard that the reason why you don't find 'offical' (i.e.: scans, screencaps, etc) artwork on fansites is because it is forbidden to use copyrighted works on a fan site in Japan. Evidently they're fairly strict about this.
Hence the large amount of fanart found on the Japanese net.
This is the primary reason why the ONLY non-fanart on Mischif.net and it's subsites (KID & Ahou) are 2 awards we have gotten. Every other scrap of artwork, including the backgrounds, were either drawn by someone else and given to us (treasure) or we have done ourselves.
And really, keep thinking that I should go back all our LJ icons being fanart instead of scanned. ^^;;

I absolutely adoore~ the Kaitou Hakuba pic.
The expressions on it are precious~

%Looks at Random Kid and tries not to think too much of her own "Kid falling from the roof" pic idea in mind ¬_¬%

%I need to learn how to do ¬_¬ without c/C ¬_¬ %
%It's really practical since comments get eaten when using the html brackets...%

Concerning Fanart: aye, the japanese are strict about it.
A somewhat 'insider' fan I know of has told us (the french DC fandom) that the japanese even denounce other japanese who put up official art to the authorities.
I can't complain... They do awesome fanart that should be an inspiration to us all. 6.6

Myself I've only recently 'scrapped' my french DC (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/cursed-blades/detvsorg_v2/) and MK sites and put up a new version 'void' of the stolen fanart from my stupid, young and ignorant beginner webmastering days, and agremented with my own...
I've left some official art, but am trying to insert much more of my own, and hopefully in the long run move all my DC fanworks from my art site to my DC site (which is incidentally why I'm working on a seperate english version of my DC site ¬_¬ Will probably also put that MiB table I made for you there once I figure out where to put the site up...)
Hopefully, I can rid my french DC site of official art in the long run as well... Encouraging french DC site makers to think about it more (am very optimist ¬_¬)
On my french Magic Kaito site (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/cursed-blades/kaito/) it would be harder, as I put up there french scanlations of the manga for the MK deprived french readers ^^;
(I rather find it embarassing when in my french fics I refer to Pandora or Akako and they don't get it ^^; )

Anyways, I guess that's all I had to say 6_6;
Tally ho~
