Hi ^_^

Don't worry that we are all ganging up on you 
here. All of the people who have responded to 
this have tried to be objective about it ^_^ (and 
let me tell you, that's difficult! ^_^)

I just wanted to add in here that:

1. I really respect you for asking the forum 
about this ^_^ (it was very brave and thoughtful 
of you to do so)

2. Your art is excellent, I'm very impressed at 
the quality... if I could do that, I probably 
wouldn't collect cels myself ^_^ (I would just 
paint them ^_^) Those who can't do, however, 
spend way too much money on cels! :)

So, please don't think that we dislike you, or 
take what we say to be putting down on you. We 
are just expressing our thoughts and feelings and 
unfortunately due to other people (not you) doing 
the ~wrong~ thing, a lot of us have bad feelings 
from way back that just get pushed to the 
surface. >.<

I think the point that we are all trying to make 
is that it might be a little bit better if, 
instead of making an exact copy from a screen 
capture, that you modify it a little so it's 
obvious that it's not exactly the same, something 
to make it unique. That way, it's not competing 
with or devaluing the original cel. Also, I 
really like Keys suggestion that you might want 
to consider original poses and scenes... that 
would really be worth something because then it 
becomes truly original art. :) I know I would be 
interested in that myself ^_^

Take care,
Misa
