Online Proposal

[TheMFreak]

Well I'm damn near pissing myself right now.

I did a pixel art commision for a guy a while back who was collecting art to use to propose to his GF. I got a message yesterday that he did it and she said yes, which was great...

This was mine

Here were all the commissions

Then I woke up today, and it's the top story on Yahoo.

Okay, this is perfect. Like, I would easily say yes. Bonus points to them if they have USB rings.

 

[Trap_Wolf]

Major shoutout to Digg and CNET because they're the only ones who focuses on the artwork. The others just talked about the memes.

Heh, reminds me. Many people (including Reddit), just don't like it when you bring the Internet to the real world.

"Oh my god, it's on the Internet for a reason!"
"Who the hell would do that with popular Internet things?"
etc

On a side note: Wonderful art. I'm no critic, but noone needs to be a critic to appreciate art, no matter what form.

 

[Notme]

Epic meme is epic.

Also nice arts

oh my god this is amazing and adorable and fabulous.

I don't get why people are really against him. The artworks are amazing, the idea unique, a place special, and a proposal a success. This is completely and utterly amazing, I love this so much.

Maybe it's because he used memes as part of it?

I dunno, I hate memes but I can't bring myself to hate him for the idea in general. It was really sweet, and pretty creative, and the fact that he's getting so much backlash from Redditors gives me yet more reason to never visit Reddit.
