I worked a lot with eye style (hearts vs circle shine), hair techniques, general coloring techniques, proportions, etc.[/quote]

As a STALKER fan I can truly say that, the worst thing about that isn't the inflation. It's how she's Russian and not Ukranian.

Also apparently she has a belt made of rubber, as it's still around her, keeping the gun in place.

Well, she [I]could[/I] be Russian and just traveled to the Zone to make some money and stuff
Although I'm pretty sure the artist just doesn't know where Chernobyl and the surrounding areas are

[QUOTE=Hanso;35315127]and the description:
[quote]I begrudge the people who seem to think making a point for comedic effect is tantamount to "strawman arguments" and feel the need to wave the title around haphazardly like a kid playing T-Ball.

"Definition of a Strawman Argument:
Person A has position X.
Person B disregards certain key points of X.
Person B instead presents the superficially similar position Y.
Person B attacks position Y, concluding that X is false/incorrect/flawed.”

Basically it means taking what someone says, throwing it out the window, and then arguing against an entirely different point to come out on top. Here's an example of it working: "If you are against the invasion of *random country*, you are a hippie!"

Not that there's anything actually WRONG with using a strawman argument for the purposes of joke telling, any more than there is using established tricks and traditions to tell an entertaining story. I just wish people would stop crying "foul!" because they think memorizing the database of tvTropes.com gives them "special powers" they must bless upon the rest of us.[/quote][/QUOTE]

You know what [I]really[/I] rustles my jimmies about Preston? He thinks he's using "logic" to make a point, but he just copy-pastes the definition and expects that to be-all end-all.
"A lot of people have been being mean. Here are the definitions for constructive criticism and nitpicking."
"I don't use strawmen. Here's the definition for strawmen."

He just quits arguing halfway through because of the definition. He never explains "This is the definition for strawman, and here's why my political comic "Resetting Progress" doesn't use strawmen." He doesn't even give examples for criticism. Once in a while he'll pull a rhetorical example out of his butt, but since he never gives a solid example he's always free to play the "no, no, you foolish child, you're [I]doing it wrong[/I]" card and completely ignore what they're saying.

that reminds me of:

[quote]Andrew/Preston's guide to cartooning

1. You're the cartoonist, that means you're right and everyone else is wrong.
2. No one has the right to call you out on your mistakes, because they aren't cartoonists
3. If they ARE cartoonists, just ignore them, they're just full of themselves and not worth your time
4. Throw around artistry terms, whether you know what they mean or not. It doesn't matter if you use "lineart" or "shading" incorrectly, because your fanbase certainly won't know
5. Strong opinions ALWAYS makes for a better comic than jokes
6. It's okay to be a complete hack and a bad person in general as long as you acknowledge it and make fun of yourself. If you make fun of yourself, it magically invalidates other people's views on you
7. Other people are not allowed to make fun of you, you don't need to be able to take a joke if you already make jokes at your own expense (see rule 6)
8. When in doubt, just trace real art. After all, it's not stealing if you call it an homage (be sure to pronounce the H)[/quote]

The IRL Exclusion Zone stretches to both Russian and Belarus territory as well but the area depicted in the games is located in the territory of Ukraine since that's where all the interesting locations are.

After that inflation art monstrosity there's not much other horrible STALKER-related stuff in DA that I could find right now but I find these a little disturbing :

nsfw dump, dunno if tagging is best, or just normal img tags considering this thread's generally quite nsfw anyway
also, i suppose some of these might be able to fall under the "not bad art - wtf subject matter" category
