Talk:Blades (G1)
From MediaWiki
This is kind of skirting the line for official art, but Jackpot's unused MTMTE Blades art is just so awesome. Can I? Can I?
(I wanted to use some of the Yaniger stuff of him from G2 #1, but none of it was unobscured enough by panel boundaries or dialogue to use as a profile pic....)

- As I understand it- Jackpot was PAID to produce that art, right? It's not fanart- it's production art- just stuff they decided not to use. I say yea.
- Speaking of Yaniger art-- do you (or anyone) have the promo image of G2 Sideswipe used in the Marvel Age article hyping G2? I totally want it for his profile. -Derik 02:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- (No Marvel Age art here, no. Though I think we try to stick to original bodies for profile images anyway, for the most part, though there can conceivably be exceptions, and I think there's at least one on this Wiki. And by "original bodies" I mean "the first we were exposed to," not "what they were born as." )
- The reason I wanted to "ask permission" to you guys first is that we know Dreamwave paid him for it, but we're not sure if it's Hasbro-approved, which is the important half of the equation. We could look the other way for split-hair circumstances I guess. Also, while we're on the subject of permission, I should probably ask Jackpot if it's okay to yoink it, or one day he might show up on my doorstep and break my knees. Being an unused artpiece that he only has on his portfolio site makes it slightly less "public domain" than other official artpieces. --ItsWalky 06:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
