The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

It's simply the position that Chomper is in on Ruby's back, someone might look at this take this the wrong way...XD...:p Maybe I am being a bit too paranoid about it, but it's just...it looks as though it should be in the am section, that's all :p

I can see why one would assume that, but most of us here aren't dumb enough to believe that that would be the intended purpose of this picture.

I'm sure no one here is actually "dumb", I'm just saying the picture looked a bit um...suggestive :blink:

Gustav did it the way that he thought best, I'm certain.  I'm absolutely sure he had no intention of doing it in a wrong way.  That's not his style...  Besides, anybody who would pick up on something like that.....  Well......

EDIT: And plus, we haven't seen any of the admins say anything, or do anything, about this, so, it'll probably be okay.

I guess prudery can be exaggerated :huh:
Not like Ruby's reproductive organs were attached to her back or something. I think that this picture is so clear in showing NO sexual content that such an interpretation is more a matter of the viewer's mind than of the picture itself (no offense meant) -_-

One thing I realize is that perhaps the size ratio between the characters is not quite correct. I think Chomper would have to be a little larger. I think if they both stand side by side Chomper's head would be roughly on the level of Ruby's back. It would also give more justification to Ruby's unwillingness to carry Chomper (too heavy).

That is what I assumed, Chomper wanted to either be carried since he is tired, or for some fun, some kids may still ride their older siblings or parents, not sure if young kids do that anymore, but Ruby is unsure since Chomper is a bit large compared to her and she may be thinking he's to heavy to be carried like that.   I never assumed the other more adult thing that some seem to have thought.

...What? <_<
I KNEW that this would happen! I'd be very dissapointed if anyone thinks that this drawing gives the impression that I have such bad taste.  
Let me make one thing clear,hm?
-I would never, ever make something like that out of LBT! And my personal statement to those doing it, is hate. I hate these things, with or without LBT.  
Made that clear? Ok, then let's move on.

The thing is, the whole idea, to get Ruby carry Chomper on her back (made up by Aaron and me) is a freaking nightmare to draw!  -_-
Mostly, because Chomper's yeah you said it, too big.
I kinda thought I managed to reduce his size to a level that woudln't be noticeable.
But maybe the second picture to this drawing (that will show up in the coming future) will show that the pic was made for a purpose (a funny one).
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

But atleast I got things clear.  :)

I'm sure part 2 will prove a great picture to look at and to enjoy.  No need to hurry the drawing, take your time till you are as satisfied with it as you can be, and good luck.

Rat_lady7, No worries mate. ;)

Kor, Yeah, I'll talk to Aaron. Part of the whole idea's his anyway.  :yes
No hurry no. Besides, I'll have to install Photoshop on the new computer first, which I'll do this evening. Then we can get started again!  :lol:

...It does look good...  Really, really good.  Isn't Chomper a little more purplish in the TV series though?  ...Not that I'm a nitpicker, it's amazing...

Hello:
 Well, the only thing is that Chomper should be a bit bigger, but it is a very nice pic (and much better than anything I could do :lol ). Maybe Chomper wants Ruby to carry him to a volcano :blink: .
 Keep it up!

Umm, a volcano?  Hmm, I wonder why he would want her to do that...?  *looks around*  *shrugs*
