I need to vent. I hate it when I see a pic on dA, and it says this in the details, "Resolution: 4800×3500", but there's no download button, and when you enlarge the pic and check its information, you get this, "Dimensions: 800×583". It's bad enough for other artists, but even worse for Jimryu, since he always puts these obnoxious, huge watermarks in the middle of the pic. I don't know why he can't keep the watermarks (for whatever reason; everyone knows what his art looks like by now), but still give us a slightly larger version on dA. If he's not gonna let anyone download his images, then there's no reason to upload the absurdres version, anyway. I would probably enjoy more of Jimryu's pics if not for this.

I agree. The Watermark completly destroys this image. Otherwise I'd even consider it for a Background on one of my monitors if the resolution were right and the watermark gone.

I asked Jim if he could add a "download picture" option so we get the 4800x3500 res version. I won't hold my breath though.

Our best chance to get a better version would most likely be to ask the commissioner himself (greenboy or jack-inqu are some of Jims commissioners if someone wants to write them a PM on DA) to upload the original version (or pray that he's browsing our site and hears our pleas).

Yes, the only thing that makes image not awesome is the watermark. Without that crap it would be my favourite for now.

For what it's worth, I can remove an watermark from an image. I did this to a couple of Rosvo's as a test, and the results are so good that it almost looks like there wasn't a watermark (and it's a semi-automated process). Result: lolihub://imgur.com/a/rVxmo

Stem Cell, that would be nice, but there's also a higher resolution picture without watermark, that Jimryu doesn't want to share for now.

I know, I just wanted those two. Also I'm aware that Jimryu doesn't want people to be sharing his work around. In any case, I've just filtered this one for you guys. I'm not sure if I should upload it as a post instead, I'll leave the decision to Mindwipe or any other who wishes to upload it as a post.
