If I missed any that you think should be on SC, post them. If I posted some that are already here, I don't care. I don't neccesarily think all of these should be put up, but some of them are great. I do, however, think all the backgrounds should be put up, because we need more and those are cool.

Wow, just....Wow.

Some of those would actually make a positive contribution to the site. The rest are either useless or can be done adequately with existing art. Again, I'll answer the "why not put everything in the world up indiscriminately" people by saying:

1) Bandwidth. Or if that's not a problem any more
2) Navigatability. If you don't think navigatability is a problem, try trying to find a character on this site

The ones which are good -- and several of them are really good -- are as follows, in the same order you posted them:

But only because more poses for existing charcters are good

peddling the funny around since 09/24/2002

Gotta disagree with you a bit here. The God and Jesus and their background would be useful and are not already represented here, aside from the one tiny jesus on a cross, which is funny but not as useful as a normal person sized jesus, in my opinion. And without the Lone Ranger, you might as well not include the indian. Again, because the only cowboy I can think of is a smaller size and of a radically different art style.
But yeah, it's not all useful, I just wanted to put all the art in one place, because I think we need some of it and I know Brad doesn't want to crawl through 10 different threads like I did.
Oh, I also think the bikini girls set and forumusers should be included. We can always use more normal looking people to choose from and the forumusers is the perfect place to add them. And mmeyers' looks badass and is a perfect redneck hick character.
Basically, I like everything but the three things I made.

I wish I could quit mmyers.

I like the new artwork, especially the hot babes!!!

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

I made some new backgrounds recently for my God set:

And if God and Jesus get added they go together with:

Dinosaurs had eggs bro, the chicken came way later.

Cool, I've been thinking characters in cars would be a *really* good thing. I have some personal demons to work out there.

"Mediocre people do exceptional things all the time." --OK Go

The car!The car!The car!The car!The car!The car!

I think the car would be a good one. Let's do the car. Or failing that, the car would also be a good one I think.

I say car.

God BG's are beautiful. Can you imagine how they would look with the car in them?
It would look like smoke was billowing out the exhuast.

And all the other ones are good. I can't fault any.

GOVT. Warning: Do not smoke around children they will badger you for fags.

allo, my name is mandingo montoya. you kill my Sea Monkey. prepare to die.

all men characters can be done "adequately" with one man character. all female characters can be done "adequately" with one female character. so unless you're willing to follow it to its logical conclusion and advocate 1 man and 1 woman character, you should toss out the "can be done adequately with existing art" argument. and that's even assuming "adequately" is objective. the fact that it's subjective blows that argument to hell again, but no need to beat a dead horseman.

so that leaves the argument that the art you omitted is useless. but realizing that what's "useless" is subjective to the person, and that, based on those who've posted, yours seems to easily be the minority opinion, that's enough to show the fallacy in your argument

but even assuming uselss is an objective term, your omissions are shaky at best, using the objective standard of the art currently on stripcreator. to prove this let's see how the sc characters would change if we followed your ideas of useless:

[list][*]you omit the Smurph and Budda Burger...uh... JesusSandwich forum user characters. using the objective standard of characters that already exist, you just eliminated most of the forum users group. (i think wirthling, brad gaming, Spankling, kaufman, crabby, boorite, fuzzy, and kajun would survive your opinion of what's useful, while the other 18 people would get the axe body spray.)

[*]you eliminated the Matrix characters. disregarding the fact that we have few to no characters wearing sunglasses on the site (you just omitted 4 that did) and that we have few characters with weapons on the site (you just omitted 2 that did), you also just eliminated all the gabe characters that derive from the watchmen comics, tyler from kofightclub, all the star trek characters drabies did, and Abe Vigoda. Abe Vigoda. you. heartless. bastard.

[*]you eliminate the Matrix background, which would get used a ton on the site. i doubt even you disagree with that.

[*]you eliminate Kevin Smith... i mean Finn... who'd be used as Kevin Smith. he's one of the 18 forum user characters your definition of useless wacked

[*]you eliminate the cowboy... but not the indian... apparently because we have a cowboy already. but you ignore the fact that it's in a vastly different art style. and also... and this might sound crazy... but what about having TWO cowboys! i know, i know! but then the cowboy wouldn't have to talk to his identical twin whenever you want him to talk to another cowboy. because i hear that cowboys do talk to other cowboys. even more than robots and space aliens (not more than cows though)

[*]you eliminate 2 more forumuser characters, mmyers and Chi_the_Cynic. mmyers made the mistake of wearing a cowboy hat and looking the part of the perfect Texan. poor guy never saw you coming

[*]you eliminate 3 girls in bikinis, a playboy bunny, an angel, and a devil girl, because you're obviously gayer than Liberace living in the 1920s. and because i guess we have too many people in bathing suits, too many angels, devil girls, and playboy bunnies, and that the last would go just TERRIBLY with the restaurant background.

[*]you eliminated the sea monkey. you. eliminated. the. sea. monkey. i know it's a messy divorce, but part of me wonders if you ever loved me at all. and i should point out that by this reasoning you also just eliminated all the dolphins, sharks, crabs, etc, then snorted a line of coke and eliminated either the red or blue fish as well.[/list]

my point is that "useless" is a subjective term, and that your being in the minority opinion shows that your idea of what's useless isn't in step with the average user here. but even if it was objective, dependent strictly upon the patterns set by the characters we now have, your opinion of what's useless and what isn't is out of step

in reality though, it is a subjective decision. one that will ultimately be made by brad, i'd guess based on bandwidth and esthetics like you said. if Brad wants input, one thing he could do is say something like "OK, i only want to add 7 characters, so decide which ones are your favorites." or "i'm only adding 7 characters, and these are the ones i've chosen."

*pours out brine solution for dead sea monkey homies*

what if nigger meant kite

For what it's worth, I'm not sure the Matrix charaters would be a good idea not because of any dislike of the movie, but because those of us who have been around for a long time remember the bongo fiasco.

Sea monkey. That funky monkey.

whaddabout mr. and mrs. paperbaggia?

Ham-fisted ham fisting.

I never expected the matrix characters to go up, I drew them for a short series I made a while back.

Actually most of the art I've done was never intended for SC. I did have something else in mind, which has since been put on hold indefinately, as a result I sent Brad a small selection of characters I don't mind him adding, the rest he doesn't actually have my permission to add to the site.

Since Brad has never shown any inclination to add any of the new stuff that was made I don't see much point in reconsidering my position.

I have however set up a topic on the photoshop board which contains all my art, including a ton of characters that have never been shown on SC. If Brad comes out and says he wants to add all the art everyone did I'll give it some consideration, short of that if anyone wants to use them they can feel free to cut and paste in MSpaint.

Dinosaurs had eggs bro, the chicken came way later.

That looks suspiciously alot like DX holding my severed head.

Yeah, I drew DX a while back, but he didn't want me to post my version because you'd be pissed that he got a third forumuser character. As a compromise I thought I'd do the two of you together. (I started doing it as a zombie, but thought the machete looked better).

I'll be adding a lot of the new stuff sometime soon. I've just been a bit concerned about the character selection becoming too overwhelming for new users and also busy as hell.

what's funny is that you don't look angry at him for doing it. just very very disappointed in a sort of i raised you better than that way

I can't imagine what other sort of emotion would be going through my body at that time.

Alright, it doesn't look like my project is going anywhere for the time being, so if you want to add anything I've done, feel free (I'll e-mail you all the characters later tonight). If you could possibly give me an approximate timeframe of when you might be doing this I'd appreciate it, there's a chance I might be able to sell some of my art, so I'd like to follow up on this asap.

As for the organisation, I still say you should make some art donor only, aside from the possible increase in donations, it'll make things a lot easier for new users.

Is that my barn?

Poop.

Yes! You have to squint, but you can just see it.

Probably within the next two weeks I'll start adding some.

I feel a little scummy doing that, but it may be the best solution.
