WHERE'S MY AKUMA?!!

I've been patient with you people.  LISTEN.

Street Fighter Alpha is the world's best game.
Akuma is a character in it.
I WANT HIS PORTRAIT AND WIN POSES.

I'll be waiting.

Stop being such an arrogant asshole - I'm getting pissed off by the selfish
attitude of people like yourself.  This group is *NOT* a place where you shout
out orders and someone will automatically knock something up for you.  It's
actually supposed to be a place for posting up new stuff that us amateurs do in
our free time or whatever, and unfortunately it has degenerated into endless
newbies asking for sigs and other crap.  Rant mode off.  =)

Oh, and BTW, I wouldn't hold your breath about waiting for the pics you want -
no-one is going to go and do some picture just because *you* said so..

Just an idea - why not try drawing one yourself? ;)

well, damn, you just can't DEMAND that we DO SOMETHING FOR YOU!
get off your high horse!

i disagree.  sf2: turbo was much better.

>Akuma is a character in it.
>I WANT HIS PORTRAIT AND WIN POSES.

i know he is a character in it.  yeah, so what?

>I'll be waiting.

with an attitude like that, you'll just have to wait for a long time.

it's all simple...

there are x number of ascii artists out there.  there are 100000x number of
requests.  and there are probably x/10 ascii artists who even know who
akuma is.  so your chances of getting your akuma drawn for you is about
1 in a million.  and your attitude just made that number even worse.
and when you WANT something so badly, what do you have to do?  you go out
and GET it.  and to GET it and GET IT DONE RIGHT the way YOU WANT IT TO
BE DONE, DO IT YOURSELF!!!!

we do not get paid to do ascii art.  many of us have school/jobs/families
to deal with everyday.  we don't have TIME to devote ourselves to answering
every request.  so just calm down, relax and try.  you say you suck.  that's
a cop-out.  at least try.  you'll get more requests if you at least ATTEMPT
to draw something.  people are more reluctant to clean art up rather than
having to do it from scratch.  i draw what i want to draw and sometimes i
do requests on that rare occasion.  you can draw what you want to draw.
call your own shots.  put yourself in the ascii artist's shoes.  would you
like for us to scream at you to draw something and if no one replies, start
whining and screaming at you like a child!?  i don't think so.

You really can't expect anyone to make stuff for you, that's not what this group
was intended for. If you can supply a gif picture, someone could do a gifscii
conversion.

: My apologies to all those offended, without sarcasm.

No problem

: P.S. think *you* could give it a shot?  Please?

I could, except that -

a) I don't know what Akuma looks like (I've never played the later versions of
   SFII)

b) I have no time for ascii art, if look at my sig you'll see I'm busy with the
   graphics for a game.

...because it was a cool ascii!

Hey this is a friendly ascii group in my experience, lets have more ascii
and less flaming going on.  :)

Here's my contribution.

Uh, was that a berating or a stern talking to?  Maybe a lecture?

But seriously, I keep my flames in alt.flame, where they belong.
