Here's something a bit topical, apropos to this recent development in copyright litigation:

The importance of having "Fashion" as one of your strengths:

Nice job on the arm, especially. That was probably the most work to fill in.

The blowup thread is getting pretty backed-up. But at least the print ad provided some good clean art-source material.

Decided to give one of these a try, not sure if this should have been a motivator.

Had to fiddle a little with the image since the motivator generators don\t allow for images that wide, hope it is not noticeable

Nice one!

One technical tip: You might want to try using some techniques for reducing the file size (like reducing the color depth) to save on bandwidth -- here's a description of how to do that using the GIMP (note: I recommend trying some of the dither settings instead of "none" as the author recommends).

At this point, the division into two threads is more a historical relic than anything else, so don't worry about it.

And another demotivator:

Something like this?


Originally posted here. I tried it without altered dialogue, too.

It's not exactly a motivator - I was trying for something a bit different that time.

And I recommend GIMP as a Photoshop alternative - it's free to download.

@TigerHunter: Excellent take on "Outrun"! Now I need to de-coffee my keyboard...

Is there some kind of reference there that I am missing here? I mean, it's funny, but I can't help the feeling that I don't get it even though I think I get it.

That hopeless feeling is the feeling which demotivators are meant to evoke.

I've decided to try my hand at making a Demotivator. Here's my first try:



I was going to put a caption that says something to the effect of: "Well, Stanley has been doing that to me figuratively since he became Overlord...", but I decided to go the "less is more" rout.

I like these a lot :D.

Is there a demotivator generator available that will include the proper art credits?

I doubt it, but you should be able to save a copy of the image, add them, and host the result on some other image site. (Personally, I just put everything together in Paint Shop Pro.)

Or if all else fails, attach the credits in text.
