FANART MISUNDERSTANDING

This Photo-manipulation I did, caused quite a ruckas on Dan Feuerrigel's Facebook page.  It was upsetting to get a message from Dan/Ninja Admin that I had PIRATED the pic from Tumblr. In other words, it wasn't my work. See the yellow logo on the bottom right hand corner ? That's my initals... A.G. Graphics, with a circle around it. I put my name on work I do ! You will either see that logo or my full name with the date the art was done. PERIOD ! I spend hours doing these photo montages of Spartacus ( A show I love ) Why would I waste my time on something I wasn't interested in? The second image is the message Dan sent to me. I couldn't believe it. PIRACY ?! You know, it would've been good to get Dan or Ninja, to ask me what happened.
But instead, I get accussed of  piracy. I always place Spartacus/ Nagron themed art on Dan's board first, and then I place it on Tumblr, and then this site ( Which I created to house all the artwork I do dedicated to the show )

I HAVE NEVER PIRATED SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK. I AM AN ARTIST , AND KNOW THE DOS AND DON'TS !!!



I WILL NOT BE POSTING ANY MORE OF MY ARTWORK ON DAN'S PAGE. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ONE OF MY ARTWORK FROM HERE, AND REPOST IT ON DAN'S FACEBOOK...IT'S FINE WITH ME. BUT I WILL NOT BE CAUGHT UP IN THIS SORT OF BULL AGAIN.

The below message; I sent to Dan's inbox, which explains the whole misunderstanding:

Excuse me, no disrespect, but that picture I posted on your board was MY ARTWORK, like the dozens I have posted on your board, without an issue. IT IS NOT PIRACY. I also posted the same art on tumblr. The problem was...I dedicated the artwork to a female that writes fanfics on tumblr. I gave out her link so others could read her work...which is damned good. The problem arised when another fan, hit up your page...having a stink about it. I removed the link from your board of the above writer that does the fanfics. It was a done deal. It's just that they are a couple of over possessive fans who wanted to make a stink of the matter. It's as simple as this; if I do a Spartacus inspired piece of art/photo-manipulations, and I dedicate to someone else....what's the issue ? It's almost like me posting a picture of dan on my page, and then putting your link, so people can check you out. well...I contacted the writer that does the fanfics, she appreciated the art, she just did not want her tumblr link to be associated with it. She's private. So we cleared that whole issue up. I was really offended that someone would think I would pirate someone else's work. I place my name and logo on every work I do...I have enough imagination to create my own work. I do not need to pirate anything from anyone. I hope that clears that up. It's upsetting that you or Ninja would have to take time out to address an issue that some other overzealous fans had a problem with.
 It was the writer's link a couple of females had an issue with...which I removed the same day, but of course they wanted to call me names.
 Anyways, that's what happened. No disrespect was intended to Dan or Ninja, or any other fan, it was two females that was disrespectful to me. Take care.

I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THE SHOW, THIS HAS NOT DETER ME IN THE SLIGHTEST ( It has just put some stuff in perspective, when it comes to Fandom. )

KRIM

KRIM ( Myself as a Spartacus character. This was a 4 hour job, but well worth it...I think) KRIM fights with the rebels; he too was a gladiator fighting in other arenas. Most of his opponents never got a chance to draw their weapons against him. He's a spook,and he exudes a supernatural aura about him. Romans feared he was a plaque sent from the Gods. Because his fights didn't last a significant t...ime in the arenas, the Romans grew bored and tired. He was hurridedly given his freedom, and departed to wereabouts unknown. Later he resurfaced near a cavern near Mt, Vesivus; and was discovered by the rebels. Many keep their distance from Krim...eventhough he prefers solitude; Oenomaus,Nasir and Mira are the three who spends any significant time with him.

SPARTACUS vs STAR TREK

SPARTACUS vs STAR TREK (Fan Art) The below context tells how this unlikely scenerio could happen.
The Guardian of Forever ( From: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Guardian_of_Forever)

The Guardian of Forever is a construct of an unknown, ancient alien race, that functions as a time portal, a gateway to the time vortex that allows access to other times and dimensions. It is located on an ancient planet where the focus of all timelines throughout at least the Milky Way Galaxy converge. It is apparently sentient, responding to external stimulus such as questions and actions, and can even somehow control the flow of time. It generates immense ripples in time that manifest themselves as spatial disturbances in the region around the planet where it is located.

The Guardian is located among the ruins of a large, forgotten city that stretched beyond the horizon in all directions around it. Based on initial observations, the ruins appeared to be at least one million years old.
Capable of speaking to those around it, the Guardian explained that it is “its own beginning and its own ending,” and that, “since before your sun (Sol) burned hot in space, [it had] awaited a question.” Apparently an inert formation of quasi-metallic substance, the Guardian creates portals to other times.

The Guardian was first discovered by the crew of the USS Enterprise in 2267. Encountering powerful waves of space displacement, which Spock described as “ripples in time,” the Enterprise tracked the waves back to their point of origin on a previously-uncharted planet. Doctor McCoy, suffering from paranoid delusions as a result of an accidental overdose of cordrazine, beamed down to the surface in an attempt to escape the ship. Searching for McCoy, Captain Kirk and Spock encountered and made contact with the Guardian, who offered them the chance to explore the past. As the Guardian was displaying images from Earth history, McCoy emerged from hiding and leapt through the time portal, arriving on Earth in the year 1930. The landing party soon discovered that they had lost all contact with the Enterprise, and the Guardian informed them that McCoy had affected a change in history, wiping out their civilization. Realizing that they must correct the damage to history, Kirk and Spock had the Guardian replay Earth history, and traveled through the portal to a point in time prior to McCoy’s arrival. Eventually successful in thier effort to restore the timeline, the Guardian returned all three of them to their proper place and time, mere moments after they initially departed. (TOS: “The City on the Edge of Forever”)

Nasir 5000 A.D.

Nasir: 5000 A.D. What if, in the far future; after the 4th World War; (brought on by an extraterrestial invasion)humans have reverted back to savagery. A malevolent dictator by
the name of Ceaser Optimonn( An alien himself) rules what is left of civilization. A group of rebels led by Spartacus attempts to reclaim their world. Here we have one of the rebels…Nasir ( Far removed from his great ancestor) This Nasir is a Neo-gladiator; who happens to be bethrothed to Agron; an alien slave from one of the many worlds Ceaser Optimonn conquered. ( Gotta work on alien Agron folks.) This is just another version of the many alternate histories that fans are writing up as well as putting an artistic spin on. LOL.

Nasir and Agron: THE SCRUB AND THE SOLDIER

THIS was done for http://slackerlackermotivation.tumblr.com/ She wanted a fanfic done of Nasir and Agron in the 21th Century. Truthfully, she came up with the idea of Nasir being in Scrubs; and I think she wanted Agron to be a soldier. Anyways, I thought that’s a BRILLANT idea ( among the many out there) So I thought, what if these two are under the same military unit/company. So my story really is: A medivac chopper comes in with wounded. Duro is one of the wounded; he dies, and Nasir is there to console, comfort him. Agron is a Sergeant First Class; and Nasir is a military scrub. The two becoming romatically involved. ( Homosexuality is open now that Obama have lifted that INSANE don’t ask-don’t tell bullshit) Well that’s my idea’ Since I haven’t written it yet, I decided to do a little visual imagining. ( Believe me, putting this together was a Bitch)
So there you go slackerlackermotivation.

SPARTACUS SERIES FINAL SCENE/SHOT

We may be a ways off for the series end of Spartacus. The final scene I would like to see is...

Camera pans up to the sky. Dead center is the sun. Within it; you see Spartacus II ( Liam Mcintyre) Spartacus II fades out and is replaced with Spartacus I ( Andy Whitfield) I think

that would be a great homage to the late star of the show.
