But I want it submitted out of love!
But love and piss are the same to him.
I would never inflict that image on those I love.
If it's fanart I'm interested !
Can I bags December ?
Because Final Fantasy characters in Christmas clothes
Not good at drawing though lol, hahaha xD
Well, if youre going to do a fanart calender feel free to use one of my FFIX character drawings from I drew a thing! If you want actual people pictures well...I'm no model but I have this 50's pinup-ish dress with a bat print that I'll probably never wear otherwise because it's too dressy to be casual but not dressy enough for formal events. Why I bought it, I'm not sure. But this would justify buying it lol...
I'd love to contribute art to this.I'm doing EoFFer's portraits in my spare time in the art section and I think it'd be pretty neat to get a lot of active member's to post there and draw them up them put them all together in one big group picture.
Y/N?
Yes, definitely!
If there's going to be a fanart calendar, maybe do a 'Best of Art Showcase' calendar. All the lovely art showcases that Proto has done so far, there could be a vote as to the best twelve, or something? And then arrange them in a calendar?
I think that might be a good idea! Or... maybe not. Who knows. Thoughts?
Using Showcase art is offensive because it is outright theft and profiteering. Those images are found on DeviantArt, done by its members, and Proto is merely sharing both the cool work and fan love those artists have. Were we wanting to use those works, we would have to privately contact each artist, get their permission, and probably give a cut of the proceeds to them. Sure, this is a charitable, if self-serving act, but why should we profit on their work?
Neither am I too much of a fan of a cheesecake-ish collection of member photographs, male or female; I know some of us are attractive, and I know some of us would not mind, but you have to consider the difference between being a member treated with respect and a member viewed as a sexual being. While I am fine recognizing volunteers as the former, can you say everyone on the forum can handle that maturely? I mean, the comments in the photo threads should be enough warning that we have some people with lots of hormones and not a lot of respect. That concern aside, I am always for Bleys doing something horrible and sharing.
Self-contributed fan art by our own members, though, is fantastic and while it is a bit late, we could get something together by February. This is the suggestion behind which I am wholly. You are going to need more than three volunteer artists though.
Who says it has to be a sexpot calendar if we use photos? I've said multiple times that it would be nice to use meetup photos, because we're a diverse community of friends, it's always a little exciting when meetups get to happen, and they make for some great memories and photo opportunities. To use an example, here:
There's nothing at all sexual about this picture, but it is hilarious and makes me smile when I see it - and I wasn't even there! We could also potentially use photos from staff visitos to Square Enix headquarters and any other meetups. Anyone submitting their picture to the calendar (or anywhere, online or offline) should be aware of any risks in doing so. Identify theft, stalking and masturbation are not new concepts.
Permission absolutely should be used before seeking showcase art - but we have so many talented artists here that I would much prefer to see a calendar of member generated art.
It's unfortunate that this thread has generated a lot of ideas and debate and very few volunteers.

I think Fuzy's member faces are fantastic and I would love to see something like that incorporated. It's competely unique to our forum, and we can get a lot of faces in there.
