BYOAC - your one-stop shop for free artwork

Don't be that grumpy folks. Right now you're making it look like you oldtimers are the only ones who can create arcade artwork. There will come new members with unbelievable skills, I promise you. You have to have faith in the next generation of arcaders.

I'm commending him for speaking his mind as an artist. I've seen too many times for people ask for help, and then balking when presented a price for paying for anybody's time and talent. And Opt is not a guy who simply cuts and pastes clipart you can find on the internet. So I tend to sympathize with him when he says he's done with creating custom artwork. There's plenty of guys out there who can cut and paste stuff for cheap / free.
We've had a couple guys over the last year so come through with custom drawn artwork, but those are extremely far and few in between.

I'm not sure where you're pulling that from.
This thread is about giving away free artwork, not whether people can successfully make good arcade art. If you want to discuss that specifically, I suggest you make a separate thread to discuss that and keep this one on-topic.
Besides, I'm not an old-timer per se. I've only been here for 8 years. Nor am I the only one that can do arcade artwork, there are plenty of guys here that can do custom art. Guys like SNAAKE, Gbeef, and Mike Boss. Even Ond is in the mix.
Refer to the Retail Vendor's sticky list. There's a lot of options for members to choose from if they're looking for someone to do their artwork for them. SNAAKE specifically has been doing it for a while now, and I always recommend him to people.

I see your point (I think), but whining about it all the time doesn't help the community either. Why this drama every time?
ark_ader:
Here is a more simpler idea.
Get a a jam jar and put it on your desk.
Every time you pinch someones artwork, or ROM, stick a dollar bill in there.
When full (in about an hour) give the jar to some homeless person on the street.
You will feel good. The homeless person will feel good. Excellent Karma all round.
