Feedback: Blessranger

[Cyborg Ranger]

Cyborg has a point, but I wrote this recently at RangerBoard and thought it might fit here as well. I'm not all Pro-Blessranger, but anyway...
-------
What Bless does when taking other peoples pictures, tweeking them a bit (colour variations and such) and then let them be put up as his work, might not be the most original thing to do, but you could just see it as nothing much different from what many other people here do ; They take a picture, from my site, or Cyborgs (and Cyborg get's his from mine so...), do something to it (recolour or combination) because they think it looks cool and then show it to the rest of the world.

I can't remember Kali ever asking permission for using my pictures before opening this thread offering to create fanfic suits. It was kind of a weird suprise when I found this thread, but somewhere along the line she had made clear already that it was my site that she got her material from, so OK, I didn't mind.

What Bless does is (although on a different scale and sometimes a little less original) more or less the same. At Cyborgs' it bursts with people who all have fun in their own way of drawing Rangers and other stuff, based upon how I draw my Rangers at my site, each and all varying in originality, quality and quantity. This is internet. Accept that sometimes not everybody behaves like you wish they would, and try not to waste energy on getting mad about it.

And if I may add this now ;
Should someone be restricted in expressing whatever creativity he has? I do agree however that not EVERYTHING one does should be published on this site per sé. And if you send in pics, you should try to have some common sence to determine if it's worth showing others, and Cyborg having the work to put it up.

I agree with "stoling" and modifying pictures. Everybody does it. Me too. Without that there would be no new pictures.
But I don't like doing other people's pictures. I mean when I did small Blue Turbo Ranger, Blessranger did the rest of the team...What is the point of it ? Same thing with that double Power, Ice Power Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. When someone makes two Rangers combined like that, it doesn't mean that Blessranger would make two other pairs like that.
And finally Sesame Power Rangers. I think that this is also weird. Combine Sesame heads with all Power Rangers series ? How would you like my pictures if I take MMPR heads and combine them with all suits, then I would take Aquitians heads and do it again....and again and again. That's all I want to say..

And he is making those for no reasons, Unlike my TNG Pictures, those were actully fanfics, Same with the Mystic Force ones(Which is in the works)also my PRSPDiS picture(Unsure now,FB hasn't been to OS yet)

Plus, he sends all of those in rangergallery witch is a waste of space. Me and some of the members don't like them there. I know that his blessranger is a fanfic but its obvoius that its my Power Rangers Mystic Dogs recolored(The star desion mainly)

[Grand Ranger]

I know for me most pics I send in are for fanfics that, case in point, have been written (many of them entirely). Some were earlier, rough ideas and others just for fun, but I know what I do when I send it in. For example, Fire Sentai Islandranger and Power Rangers Ocean Fleet are coming as soon as Ancient Warriors is done.

What Blessranger does - it kind of weirds me out a little. I'll say no more.

[redtulipranger]

My Power Rangers Cyborb aren't actually based upon a fic, not are any of the Rangers in the picture titled 'Combo Rangers' nor Sentai Auranger. I just thought they were nifty looking, so I sent them in.

Bless might think Sesame Street (possibly combined with PR) looks nifty as well, even though that is not the common thougt around here.

Now I don't keep track of who has made what before and how much Bless changed to it and if that is enough to call it somewhat original... I still think Bless mostly does what everybody does, even if it looks like he's strechting the rules of fair use and originality.

If you want to put that and any future 'strechting' to boundries, Cyborg (or we as members of this site) should come up with some written rules that people can read before sending in stuff. So that they aren't suprised if (some of) their work doesn't show up on the site, because it might lack originality or niftyness in some other way. They won't be punished, but that part of their work just won't be put up on the site...

There could be something in it like
- A picture of a basic Ranger(team) can be accompanied with a power-up version and/or a helmetless pic. We don't need endless rows of figures with all kinds of facial expressions, pour example, or other 'small' variations.
(But then that might also scratch things like pic-by-pic morphing sequences or variations with weapons hmmmm...)

[DemonRanger]

Most of my pics are also just for fun. Only power rangers Ultimate force (including upgraded and battlized rangers) and power rangers olympic knights where for fanfics (that I never finished).

I agree with RedTulipRanger that there should be some rules about sending pictures.

For you Blessranger: stop sending in sesame street pictures. It's annoying. This is a site for power ranger pictures.

[redtulipranger]

If that's so, then no-one can send in Spiderman (me), Star Wars (Cute Angel Ranger), Kamen Rider (Sascha Amend) and other not-so-Power-Rangery things in, can they?

If you want rules, they should apply to everyone, not just to BlessRanger.

Maybe not so much rules... but guidelines. The occasional 'trip' to something else then PR is OK then(even Sesame Street), as long as you keep it in reasonable margins, keeping in mind that, yes, this site and board are for PR to begin with.

To make it simple, Not to post too much Un Power Ranger pics

[Cyborg Ranger]

I think it is OK to send unpower rangers pictures. Also Sesame street. I also dislike combining Sesame heads with all power ranger bodies.

;D That's another way of putting it, yes. (I'm sometimes a bit too elaborate on things)

[DemonRanger]

Blessranger: I told you this by e'mail, but I will say it this way too: STOP SENDING ME THOSE USELESS E'MAILS WITH REQUESTS FOR MAKING SESAME STREET PICTURES FOR YOU.

You got them too,I asked him why he dose that and he just said to make family guy, WTF?

[Magic Force]

Guys...(I don't think there are any girls here but just in case)...and girls stop it now.

This is ridiculous. If you are going to have a little fight with someone do it through PMs and not in public. I am tempted to delete this entire thread and recreate one for feedback and not arguments.

So please stop it now. If this continues, I will do exactly as I said and possibly suspend some people if necessary.

Interesting, Ikari Sentai Gulf War Five. You do realise Ikari translates to Hatred.

[Blessranger]

Actually,Ikari means "angry" in Japanese,you know,as in some old-school SNK arcade game Ikari Warriors as well as the King of Fighters characters Ralf and Clark which were part of the Ikari team of the King of Fighters series (alongside Heidern,Leona,and Whip).

[Scotty Rave]

After looking at Henshin Hall of Fame and a book about Neon Genesis Evangelion, allow me to explain.

Ikari - Often a Japanese surname, Ikari roughly translates into hatred, so it is closely related to Ika-ru in terms of spelling and meaning. Ikari's base meaning can be associated to Ju-On, a curse generated by someone who dies in the grip of anger and shown in the popular movie The Grudge.

Ikaru - Used by Metalder to transform, Ikaru roughly translates into rage however it can also mean angry.

Hikari - A common misspelling or indeed, victim of such, translates as light and is often used as a girl's first name. Another mistake with spelling is Hika-ru, which is the male equivalent.
