What Hypesters Look Like (according to their posting style)

[JP]

When folks were making requests earlier, they were largley ignored anyway. So in the end it was just clogging up the thread. Just like this post is.

I'm with Ferett and JP. I had to earn the what 3 pictures of me posted in here! It isn't easy standing out in the crowd on this place.

Hey, I put alot of effort into your picture.

And I appreciate it.

Thank. You.

The request thing is basically like in real life. If you have to ask to be told you're popular, you're not really popular.

Damn man! That just sounds depressing

Cheer up! Its only a thread haha and who knows maybe someone will draw one of you at some point.....after a post like that though it may be quite a depressing depiction of you. Dont rush it t:

Well the "" smiley was supposed to show that what I said was done jokingly But that's that internet thing - can't always sense tone on teh interwebz.

But there is truth to it. I've been around here since like 04 or 05, and I've never really stood out around this place except to get mocked in the relationship advice thread. I've never really been able to participate in a lot of the fun activities around here (like the 15 minutes) cuz nobody seems to really know me I guess.

As far as cheering up goes, I'm cheered It's just the internet. I don't get upset about the internet (I used to on some of the earlier forums I took part in when I was like in high school)

I don't have a problem with the requests. I've even done a drawing in the beginning by request. I think the problem is the artist is stumped when they don't know who the person is. It's easier to draw people you interact with like JP said.

Yup, exactly how I feel about it

I wasn't expecting anything, that's why it was really nice when Marx drew one for me.

I'll just reply to a few posts and leave it at that. i don't want to bog down the thread.

The thing is KALEL114, going by the first post of this thread I personaly am drawing users I've interacted with for some time. That's how I know their personalities enough to make up a "likeness" for them. If I'm going to start taking requests, I suddenly have to DO WORK to search out posts by users and familiarize myself with them, and FORCE a drawing out. That's not very fun, and I'm not getting paid for this so "fun" is definitely mandatory for me. Plus, you start doing requests then all of a sudden you have a million. Just look at other request thread like the 15 Minutes thread.

I would just ask that you try it once. Maybe putting some time into someone you don't know will be "fun" in the long run. Making new friends isn't always easy sometimes work is involved.

I'm with Ferett and JP. I had to earn the what 3 pictures of me posted in here! It isn't easy standing out in the crowd on this place.

Exactly my point. Some posters on here may not have the gift of socializing that you and others have. That does not make them dull or a poor posters, it just means they might need an extra push like this thread maybe. I think it would do more good then harm.

The request thing is basically like in real life. If you have to ask to be told you're popular, you're not really popular.

My point was that I think it should have nothing to do with popularity in the first place. It should be a community as a whole thing. "Popular" or not.

I don't have a problem with the requests. I've even done a drawing in the beginning by request. I think the problem is the artist is stumped when they don't know who the person is. It's easier to draw people you interact with like JP said.

Good for you on the request front. I'm sure it is very easy to draw someone you know on a regular basis, all the more reason to meet new posters and learn things about them and how they post.

Last thing I will say about it. I see threads like this as way of building a stronger community and shining a light on posters that are great, but not exactly "popular". I think we should jump on these opportunities when they presented. If you don't want to clog the thread with requests, step up and accept PM requests for a short time and see if it's for you. You can at least say you tried.

Keep up the awesome drawings.

The people that I have drawn are all people that I have interacted with in my time on the Hype. (Except for Orb, who I drew based on the screenname and tagline. ) It's alot easier to draw people I'm familiar with. I don't really see a problem with requests, ultimately you're only going to get done if someone wants to do you.

in the early days of skype i had an inkling to do a flash cartoon of the hype and made some cartoony sketches of some. i've posted the Drak one already. I won't say who this one was supposed to be, but enjoy all the same.

 

[sabetoonth]

[ComicChick]

[Aesop Rocks]

Isn't that FrankenBerry?

 

[Scourge2099]

I wonder if I'm poopular enough to get drawn in this thread ? Probably not though. It's just an internet forum though so it's no real skin off my back.

 

[NotAHenchwench]

CC, I still have the cartoony one you did of me somewhere on my hard drive... I gotta find it!

 

[Prison Mike]

Wow. People here whine a lot.
