While I admit that I should be doing more background work (which I'll hopefully rectify!), none of this work is true vector work, and I can assure you that none of my work are just photo edits. I suppose it's partly my fault for trying to make it look as much like the show as possible, but every line you see is drawn out in Photoshop. Plus, these things don't take just five minutes, but a few hours. (And believe me, if I was doing photo edits, I'd do a much better job than most manipulators do)

Thanks, Optica. Indeed, every single line you see, be it traditional or digital, are drawn out. Not a screenshot from the show or something tossed together in Inkscape.

OK, yes, commissioning the same thing over and over again can be annoying, but I've talked with the guy a lot over dA, and he's pretty nice. And I've done some commission work for him, and he's made orders that don't involve his OC.
But yes, his OC (Cupix is his name) is essentially a canon-self-insert, and I don't care for those OCs at all.
Also, keep in mind that things you're whining about are no different from the things you enjoy. Plenty of people love complaining about MLP or vore art saturating art websites.
