Le suilon.
I'm sure people who notice the name change and the even more jarring bright visual change are wondering what in blue blazes is going on. Well, it's a long story, and so on and at the end of the day, I'm not going to share the full details right now.
However, after the issues with Ryuu saying a particularly rude thing about me (But you deserve it! Well, maybe I deserve bad treatment, but I don't take kindly to being accused of things I find atrocious and being lied about, especially not to my loved ones.), it was decided tactically best if I at least temporarily step down and let Rinku in charge, as my second, of the blog and all final matters involving Ryuu.
While Rinku handles that, I have not much to do. For anyone who noted, I elected to abstain from all Ryuu-related posts until the matter is settled one way or another. Since Ryuu seems to be completely opposed to reaching any resolution, favorable or unfavorable, I'm just sorta stuck here. So, out of boredom, Rinku and I reached this compromise.
My compatriots will still be doing new Ryuu based posting, more likely than not. However, I will eventually, with Rinku's blessing, be moving on to other things for the time being.
For all fans and haters of the Ryuu blog Epic Failure, don't despair or get your hopes up. All the posts, including unpublished drafts, will be saved under the tag of "Epic Failure" and retro-dated to the day January 1, 2010. This way, they will be easily accessed without mucking up the works. At least, mine will be.
More information will follow on the particulars, of course. Right now, I have to clean up the old stuff and stick it in the back.
New Ryuu posts will not be moved to the old archives.
Namárië!
I, the ingeniously enterprising Dr. (____), for one embrace our new expanded scope, and hereby call dips on February 01 2009 to archive my blog posts!
ReplyDeleteAn open letter to the owners of this blog. The diplomatic response you requested.

"And I would challege anyone who reads this to convince me it's anything more."
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but that is not a diplomatic response. It's picking a fight which does not help your friend. I also find it interesting that you're picking a fight after some of the blog authors are starting to move on.
It is good to defend your friends, but this doesn't exactly help them. However, it would not be right of me to hold your attitude against them.
Discussions are already being had with Ryuu - this post is outdated in that regard. The matter will be settled shortly. You have no relevance, and you will not listen to anything we have to say, anyway.
Thank you and good day.

ReplyDeleteThat's a good one, very good. Tell me, in real life would you give out your contact info to every passing stranger in the world? No? Than why on earth are you doing it online? Even if I DID give out personal info, you have no way of really verifying its not as made up as my user name, nor can I do the same of you, not that I'm accusing you of lying, but "real names" aren't that hard to fake, you just say your names joe when its really bob.
As for your accusation that none of the material is impartial.
While I have certainly been less abrasive and attention grabbing then my friends here on the blog, I've done my best to be fairly reasonable, sticking to technical advice on art, as well as the nature of constructive criticism. Proper technique is itself a non-subjective matter as there are books upon books upon books on the matter. Art is serious business, both to those who make their living as artists (lucky bastards) and those who take it very seriously as a form of personal expression.
And the argument that were not standing up for the rights of Palestinians can be used against you sir.
Instead of knowingly wasting time upon such obvious trolls as us why don't you spend that time writing something about that hmmm? Just because the subject matter is small, and compared to things such as events in Gaza very petty, does not mean we are not entitled to our opinions, though perhaps things could have been put differently.
I would just like to say that I fucking love you all, albeit in a strictly platonic sense.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how seriously everyone seems to be taking this.
And you guys don't even know Ryo personally.
You frigging champions, you. I salute the effort you've put into this blog. It needed to be done and you did it.
