Could somebody please draw me a pic of a stagosaurus?

thats what you get when you dont intend to pay for it

 

Brilliant! And is that a different shade of grey I see for it's eye? Masterful!

 

Um...WOW!

 

I'm pretty sure it's spelled Stegosaurus.

Unless, of course, you were referring to a part stag part dinosaur creature.

 

It was a joke, I say it was a JOKE, Son.

 

it seems Hodapp is having fun with his iPad again, show off

 

I got bored and doodled something on my iPad

 

I think that may be an iguana. Also, what's this "goodness of your heart" thing I keep hearing about?

 

You're too lazy to even use something like MS Paint to sketch a picture of a cartoon dinosaur off of google images for your own app, and now is asking other people to do it without any kind of return?
Those MS Paint sketches take like what, 2 minutes?

 

Hi, I'm a jerk and am here to berate you like an asshole.

Guys lay off him. My art skills are terrible so doing something off MS paint would look like shit and I'm not inspired enough to actually make a decent, simple logo. I'm sure he has the same dilemma, or a variation of it.

But I like Jeffyg3's design, simple and not much art skillage required. Just refine it and make the iguan-I mean stegosaurus bigger/

 

I guess I could point out that every time someone gives away a decent piece of art for free, it gets just a tiny little bit harder for a freelance artist (such as myself) to make a living... But no worries, I'm not here to berate anybody!

There's another really good reason to pay for art instead of asking for it for free on message boards. Imagine that someone posts a great picture of a Stegosaurus, and you end up using it to brand your very first iPhone game! Things are going well, until a lawyer contacts you, and informs you that your logo is in use... by another company, that's been using it for years. Looks like some enthusiastic forum patron copied the design... Or maybe posted it as a joke, and there was a legitimate misunderstanding.

If you can't say "I bought that art in good faith from an artist -- here's the receipt," what are you going to do?

Or how about this: You launch your iPhone game and it's bigger than Doodle Jump! Things are going great, until a lawyer contacts you, and informs you that the guy who drew the logo for you wants some money. Since you never signed a contract with him, it's going to be difficult to prove that there was an actual agreement with him that allows you to use his work for free. Again, what are you going to do?

My advice is, skip eating out for a couple of weeks, bake some cookies and sell them to your friends and relatives to raise logo funds -- whatever. You could probably scrape up a few bucks to hire an artist who's new to the industry, and with the very act of purchasing the art, guarantee that the logo won't get you into too much trouble.

 

Just wanted to let you know, just in case, that the dinosaur is called stEgosaurus... Is Stag-O-Saurus some kind of pun? I don't get it

 

This, now and forever.
