Why is it that this is so much better than the original?

@hazzack

Piracy of plate VIII of Hogarth's Rake's Progress

Is it actually Plate VIII? While Plate VIII is indeed The Madhouse, I could only find this one titled as Scene in a Madhouse, from a Rake's Progress. And if you scroll down to Plate VIII on the Wikipedia page, the actual Plate VIII is different from the one @Halo edited.

@sterven

Makes me think back on my days as a lurker on batoto.

Makes me think of my days as a lurker here lol. I only actually started posting in June of this year.

What made you decide to stop lurking? Any series or threads in particular?

@justforthelulz
Well, now that I have the floor, I may as well take my time and answer.

^{I was impassioned by the politics thread and started posting there.}

You know, if/when comment history becomes a thing, I'm seriously debating whether or not to make mine public as a display of my galaxy balls (as in, I own what I say). Then again, people could probably find these Shadow Realms through comment histories, so maybe not.

hey alright

will ya?
and thanks

@bigtiddyoneesan

I was impassioned by the politics thread and started posting there.

This megathread (LOL) that only has four pages, that you didn't post in?
Or did you mean the protests megathread on MangaDex?

@MawMaw
Glad you could make it. Enjoy your stay. Or don't Can't force you either way.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@justforthelulz
The protest one. I should pop up near the last pages.

 

[justforthelulz]

@bigtiddyoneesan
So this was probably your very first MangaDex post with substance?
That thread is fun to revisit, just to see a little bit of all the colorful characters MangaDex has to offer.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@justforthelulz
Yeah lol, if you can call that substance. Man, that was a fun thread.

 

[hazzack]

@bigtiddyoneesan of course it's not, it's the piracy of the 8th plate. with considerable amount of difference.

LMAO "of course it's not", proclaims The Duck, as if such knowledge should be commonplace.
_{(Yeah, I know you wrote that parody description earlier, but reading comprehension is overrated; just look at the Suggestions Forum. Or don't, if you value your sanity.)}
And it's very fitting that a member of a manga pirating site makes a parody using a pirated satirical plate.

 

[hazzack]

yeah, sometimes I forgot we dwell in a place where people sometime forgot how to read

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@hazzack
What's unclear to me is who the actual artist of the "piracy" was.

Producer name
After: William Hogarth

What does this mean? Does it mean that William Hogarth (the artist of the A Rake's Progress series) satirized his own series? Or is "After: William Hogarth" a pseudonym for the actual artist?

In the art world:

After [Artist Name]: In our opinion, the work was executed by an unknown hand, but is a deliberate copy of a known work by the artist.

As in: modeled after [Plate VIII], takes after [Plate VIII], etc.

A longer list:

By [Artist Name]: In our opinion, the work is by the artist.

Attributed to [Artist Name]: In our opinion, the work may be ascribed to the artist on the basis of style, but there may be some question as to actual authorship.

In the manner of [Artist Name]: In our opinion, the work was executed by an unknown hand, but was designed deliberately to emulate the style of the artist.

After [Artist Name]: In our opinion, the work was executed by an unknown hand, but is a deliberate copy of a known work by the artist.

Circle of [Artist Name]: In our opinion, a work of the period of the artist showing his influence, closely associated with the artist but not necessarily his pupil.

Follower of [Artist Name]: In our opinion, a work by a pupil or a follower of the artist (not necessarily a pupil).

American, 19th century: In our opinion, this work was executed by an unknown hand, and can only be identified by origin (i.e., region, period).

Bears signature: In our opinion, the signature on the artwork may be spurious.

Apocryphal: Of doubtful authenticity.

Welcome @mawmaw! Most of the refreshments are gone, but the duck's been marinating in madness and devil purging potion for a while!

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@justforthelulz
Makes sense. I've taken a couple art classes (for credits only) in my time, but I don't remember going over that kind of stuff (probably bc I was only there for the grade lol).

I'm going to save this list so I know how to cite authors of notable shitposts/edits.

 

[hazzack]

yeah tbh i didn't know any of that

Thanks. It was a happy accident.

 

[sterven]

Damn Halo is the modern day Picasso man.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

Picasso Man would make for a good superhero name.

I call the council to answer a question. What strategies do you have to pull the rest of the mods and devs to seduce a staff thread so that we get on their good side and thus when we attempt higher risk necros or poop posting we won't suffer ban hammered

Also how possible is it with the code that we have that when we copy an image to a new shadow thread all the council we be called through that image rather than having to copy the council list?
