One pet peeve I have that deals with fan "art" is -what seems to be- a majority of cosplayers. There are two aspects to the peevishness.
1- Lack of Real Effort Given to the Costume.
A: If you are going to dress up as a character... then do just that. Don't put on the suit/dress of the character, but don't use a wig to match the character's hair. I've seen people say "I'm cosplaying as Zoro!" ...but still have brown hair. Or worse, they DO have a wig but its actually blue instead of green. W-T-F! Another part of this is try to make a costume look like the character does, only to drastically change something of it that causes a WTF moment. I once saw a Izo (One Piece- Whitebeard Pirates 16th commander) cosplayer try to look like his outfit ...only for his costume to end at knee level! Izo's 'dress' was full length.
B: Another part of this say you are one character but wear something the character wouldn't wear. Usopp of One Piece would not wear a 3 piece suit. Ciel of Black Butler wouldn't wear a maid costume. XD
C: Costumes can be cheap ...but they do not have to LOOK like they are cheap! Same Izo costume mentioned above had made the collar of the outfit oversized and looked as if it was foam filled... you know like the Retail store $20 or less (generalization there)Halloween costumes that make the collars stick out with foam. It really did make the Izo costume look cheap, like "it could have came off the rack at Wal-Mart" cheap.
2. Oversaturation of Pictures.
A: Why is it that many Cosplayers must post a dozen pictures of the same session/costume? (Events will be covered in 2.B) I get so tired of looking at some moron post 5 (sometimes 8![[or more!]]) pictures and the only difference is a slight change of posture.
I swear its like "oh I moved 3 degrees to the left! Take a picture!"
"I tilted my head to the right! Picture!"
"I'm holding a doll of my character! Picture!"
"I'm now tilted my head down to put my cheek on the doll's head! Picture!"
"I'm smiling! Picture!" someone tell her she/he already did that and she/he answers "No! I was grinning, there is a difference! I'm actually doing the character's way of smiling! Now take the DAMN picture!"
B: Events are a 50/50 match here. While an event has the potential to have different scenes, many posters do not post different scenes. Many post several pics of same scene with same people. Like the spammer above, the only change in pics is slight change of stance.
A note to Cosplayers=
Please post the best picture (or best 2 pics if they differ enough) and do NOT post multiple pics of the exact same thing that vary only slightly change like the posing. Make a blog or post at sites like photobucket for the entire collection for that session.
My peeve with this is that I try to look for art for some manga character, and I have to sludge through a slew of cosplay pictures. The multiple pics just annoy many, but you post the best one, its more likely to be positively received. I look at cosplay pics, but if there a 5-10 of the same person-character, I WILL skip over it.

Devious Journal Entry
I've not done any colorings lately due to two losses=
1. I can't find my memory stick that had some work on it.
2. My old computer finally died. I'm not too surprised at that as it was 10 yrs old .... not to mention I made that comp run continuously with playing games (sorry no biggies there not in into MRRPs) and playing music all the time. Not sure if it was just the fan dying or the motherboard went out and refused to come back. Either way, the tower wouldn't turn on at all, so its dead.
Since I'm posting this, I obviously gotten a new comp. Not too fancy but still nicer than the old one. And it was on sale to boot, too! Well I see j
What rotten nickname do you call Trump?
Richard Nixon had the rather inglorious nickname of "Tricky Dick", what nickname should Donald Trump be known by?
I had asked for suggestions nearly 2 weeks ago. I am a bit disappointed to see that I can't create a poll here as I lost my core status. I do have a poll up at the Arlong Park Forums, http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=44722 though I think only member can vote there.
IF I could create a poll here it would be =
1. Dastardly Donny
2. Donny Despicable
3. Donald Dick
4. Don the Con
5. Conny Don
6. Donald the Dumptruck
7. Donny the Tiger
8. The World's Ugliest Oompa Loompa
9. Donald, the Dorito with a wig
10. Cheetos D
I need suggestions for a nickname for Trump
So the other night I was remembering how Richard Nixon had the nickname "Tricky Dick" and got to thinking what would be a good nickname for Donald Trump that describes the disgust many have for him?
Obviously "The Donald" is out as Trump uses that himself and so do his supporters. Many of the suggestions below comes from other sites.
Any suggestions from FF.N? After a get a few I'll make a poll to see which is more popular.
Dastardly Donald
Little Donnie Deadbeat
Donald Dick
Don the Con
Conny Don
Donald the Dump Truck
The World's Ugliest Oompa Loompa
New One Piece Theory
After reading ch. 822 and discussing it with others at the Arlong Park forums, I have a new theory= Usopp will be first SH (beyond Luffy) to meet the WB pirates as he will join Nekomamushi to search for Marco.
As of ch. 822 we know that the SHs will be splitting up. Three will go with Luffy to retrieve Sanji, Zoro to Wano, but what about the others?
Team - mission = known members (possible members)
Luffy's team - to go retrieve Sanji = Luffy, Nami, Chopper & Brook + Pekoms and Pedro (possible Carrot)
Kinemon's team - to go to Wano = Zoro + Law and Kinemon (possible Robin)
Inurashi team - to stay on Zou & protect Momo - ?unkno

I totally agree with you 100%
Just want to see some nice artworks of characters, but what I get is endless loads of cheapass photographs of cosplayers. Pics like those should be put on Facebook, not on Art sites.
I feel embarrassed of having to look at these pictures, last one I saw is an obese man dressed as Luffy
If they put cosplayer pictures could they at least make an effort to look perfectly like the character they represent, I know some cos arts that looks pretty good but the majority of them are crap.
But what I hate more than cos art is 'base' art, if you know what I mean.
