Also, I don't think commissions would be a good idea. Chris would have to follow the orders and instructions of the client, much like when he drew things for his sweethearts, except that this time he would KNOW that he is most likely working for a troll. Even if the request wasn't offensive, he is so damn bitter and paranoid that he might half-ass the job on purpose, or make significant "improvements" a la The Graet Director. (I don't know if that made any sense, I didn't sleep last night so English am bad.)

Remember the pics for Jackie?

I think it was brought up earlier in this thread - maybe around the 30s, not sure - that with eBay, if you're going to bid higher than $15K you CAN... but at the same time, you have to provide a valid credit card number.

I doubt that they're even aware of it's existence. There's hundreds of thousands of god awful sonic recolors and mash ups out there in all colors of the faggety rainbow. And really, they're all equally terrible.

Actually, some Sega employees made a Sonichu joke in a video they did for their fans...let's see if I can find it.

Here it is:

Check out 3:50. At least SOME employees at Sega are aware, and that probably means that most of Sonic Team knows about it and finds it funny.

I don't know why you guys are making such a big deal out of the fact that he used cheap computer paper and Crayola markers and laminated it. Like it or not, that's part of his artistic choice and expression, much like other artists choose to work with garbage or whatever. The value of a work of art is proportional to the respect given to the artist - in other words, Picasso could scribble on a napkin and it would be worth a fortune because it's a Picasso. In this case, Chris could have painted this on an ancient canvas woven by vestal virgins with the finest oil paints delicately colored with ground up gemstones, and it still would be worth about $3.50 because it's a CWC original. Actually it would piss me off more to see him waste actual valuable resources on his art.

While the artist's reputation can affect the price quite a lot more than anything else, there's something to be said for something being able to last. Computer paper will go yellow a lot quicker than something made of higher quality material. To be fair, I don't know of anyone who really wants his art for posterity, but if he was at all serious about the quality of his own art, and wants it to actually last a while, he'd use something better.

A commission is very much the same as a 'work for hire' agreement. If you employ the "artist" you can dictate the execution of the piece and the elements it includes -- very different from play-pretend internet girlfriend saying 'I'll suck your e-dick if you draw us fucking in a pool while dudes whack off to us'. Entering into a commission agreement means both sides comply to achieve the finished piece and satisfy the client NOT the artist, and they should supply you with rough drafts, tumbnails and Work In Progress images. You are well within your rights as the employer to refuse a commission if it is does not represent the agreed upon image. So basically, Chris could pull all the little shenanigans he wants to, if it's not what you asked for and what he agreed to draw, you can tell him "thanks for the effort, but, no, thanks." If YOU hire Chris to draw you something, then he working for YOU, not himself. Just think what THAT would do to him.

I'm looking at the pictures and it looks like the drawing doesn't even fit the frame right.

It almost looks as if fatass built it himself, but instead of using a tape measure and a level, he eyed it. That's a 1/1,000,000 chance that OPL would do something productive instead of bitching about useless petty shit on Facebook, playing with toys made for a 6-16 year old (I could have sworn I saw him playing around with a Duplo LEGO set, which were created for infants and preschool kids), and yanking his duck to Rosechu bending over is not productive at all.

He laminated it. I really hope this means he actually sashayed into an Office Depot/Staples and had the copy center people laminate it "professionally." Customers coming in to laminate/copy weird stuff is what makes me want to go to my job each day.

Honestly that picture doesn't make it look laminated though...or even as if the frame has glass in it.

Along with sashaying into a Office Depot/Staples, I wonder if he utilized his "eye winks" and attempting to say hello to all the boyfriend-free girls there, if he didn't scare them away by the mere sight of him.

After all these years, I like to think that anyone who has an @nintendo.com email address has a word filter that puts any mail with "sonichu" in it straight in the trash.

I have a friend who works in the tech support department for Playstation. I asked him how many times OPL has called them, and the answer I got was at least four to five times a month. Also, it seems OPL calls them in attempt to get free shit from them, but when declined, he would either threaten to sue, put Borb on the phone (when Bob was still alive), or play the autism card. I find that funny. Even when dealing with his favorite company ever, OPL still acts disrespectful and entitled.

Picasso DID used to scribble on napkins, he used to pay his restaurant tabs this way. But they were usually cloth.
