OK. Here's my take on this. I say these other sites are okay- as long as we don't overuse them. I mean, come on, some people like to mix it up a bit. But anyway, I agree. Everyone should have a hand-drawn picture, REGARDLESS of talent. We don't give a strip of bacon about your talent. Now, if you're good, sure! You'll get to be featured picture. If you're not good, step up to the plate, draw something, and admit your weaknesses. Then go back, practice, and continue working hard at it! You'll get better, guaranteed or the hour you spent reading this comment back! So, if someone wants to make a new character, sure, go ahead and hand-draw them! I personally don't emphasize talent. I judge by these criteria: A) Is it hand-drawn, B) Does it feature something original or funny, and C) Is it good. But yes, C is only used as a tiebreaker. Now, from an admin-of-another-wiki-or-five-standpoint, I have experienced wars like this. Or have I? ...Back to the topic. I think everyone should be able to express their creativity, however that may be. If they like using MS Paint or what-have-you, I'm fine with that. It's not as high rated by me, but hey! If it's the most original, creative, and/or random picture ever, I'll give it a strong support. While I favor hand-drawn, these different styles are all great. In different styles, maybe with fancy colors, random backgrounds, etc., ya know, all that stuff. WE ARE PHINEAS AND FERB FANON! WE ARE A CREATIVE WIKI WHO SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EXPRESS CREATIVITY AND INDIVIDUALITY HOWEVER THE HECK WE WANT! That is all.
