In my initial post, that started this,was not directed at him. You can see there that I purposely took his name out of it when I made it. However, one can argue that he is making it about him or that he feels that it is.... I'm not sure since I honestly do not know what part of the Panther Quest project he actually works on or what say he has on the final project.
Whatever the case maybe, I do not need to have experience in the field (to which he nor anyone else know if I have any or not), anyone's permission, or to have seen the full project to pass judgement on a work of ART. I for sure don't need to be told or be faced with poor excuse's that involve not knowing the full picture of an alleged veil by the individual to hold that opinion.
I'm sorry if that unintentionally rubbed him the wrong way but in this particular case I think the art work on those characters are poor. Based on other attempts, in other places, made on the same type of characters Panther Quest's version would be my least liked. It's not personal. Now once again, he can choose to take the criticism, ignore it, or give more insight when appropriate on why the designs were used in hopes to give a better understanding. That's how a "professional " would handle it. As oppose to what is happening right now.
Just saying.
Edit:
It should be noted that I have actually spoken with someone who talked to Scott through twitter to verify this . Scotts later post goes into more detail with other things in regards to fans, as well.
Now, I know everyone will be who they are but there is a proper way of dealing with things and I do believe this has veered further then I would have liked. As of right now
my opinion is where it is. Those who choose to continue forward with this it's entirely on them.
