In the past, we used original art for all the boards here. Why has that suddenly changed?
Just wonderin'...
No offense taken or intended.
I am pretty sure you would find that most of the banners you used in the board were composed of multiple images, not all of which were original artwork. As I only saw the main banner particularly well, I can only comment on it, but it was a great montage of different images--a seattle reflection, a man at night, a wolf howling to the side, and I'm pretty sure that not all of it was original artwork from the person who created it. I could be wrong, but I'll err on the side of common practice.
Aside from that, it's that there are 5 different themes on this board and I'm only an artist of one genre. The Vampire board is completely my artwork. The Changeling board would have been, too, but Chris suggested a different header before I showed him mine. The Mage board has no problems because it's all photoshop brushes and hermetic circles.
The werewolf board has nothing but fair use art on it now. Megan drew the sidebar, and the 3 images that compose the header are all fair use, as they were requested from their original owners. The debate was over the sidebar, which was fixed within 2 hours.
I would be happy to make Werewolf a green board with no images if that's what the werewolves want. It's not my place to dictate to you what you should or shouldn't have--but implying that it is a cataclysm that may harm the game is exaggeration of the worst kind.
