Not to get too far away from the topic of the thread, but I'll give some feedback.

I imagine I probably would put more time into creating art for my characters who aren't part of 'Guardian Ascension' if I actually had time for it, but as it stands I barely get enough time to work on the art of my main project itself. I haven't had the opportunity to sit down and draw in many years now. Subsequently, I'm very out of practice with drawing due to not doing it for so long. I also have a lot of difficulty finding interest in a role-play that isn't related to my main project, for - as you likely have guessed from my various posts across this site if you've witnessed them - I can be particularly obsessed with it and am thought of as 'one-track minded' by some people, so even getting involved in a role-play not affiliated to my main work is rare, let alone [i]drawing[/i] something devoted to it.

As for integrating art of an inappropriate genre into a role-play where it doesn't belong, we're in agreement, but I should probably make a point that - in my own defence at least, I can't comment for other people - I won't choose a piece of art which I deem to be excessively out of line with the setting of the role-play. There's a dark and gritty role-play involving a warzone? Well I'll be picking a very colourless picture from an anime series that was more rooted in realism. The role-play focuses on a very colourful and magical fantasy world? I'm probably not going to take a picture from Naoki Urasawa's Monster or Ergo Proxy. The media of art that I work with is unlikely to change, but I know how to pick my genre appropriately. I'd similarly find it jarring if I hosted a modern setting anime action series role-play on this site and suddenly I got a picture of Aragorn coming up in a character sheet.

To hell with them indeed. Really, I'm not the type who cares the least what other people think, so it was more a matter of me not wanting to waste my time posting something that wouldn't be appreciated, as opposed to being afraid of people passing judgement on me or trying to dismiss a solid debate with a half-assed statement like 'your post is too long, so your argument is wrong' which is usually only thrown out by people who don't have a [i]real[/i] counterargument. With that said, as you can imagine from the back and forth between us right now, I certainly recognize that some people here appreciate my posts -- I even said so prior to you posting here. Nevertheless, I'll stop now since this isn't really on the actual topic.
