What I feel is odd is that people call it scan art. I believe that art requires abit more creativity than just tracing and recolouring. Some people do try to do interesting things with their scans but many do not.
But what the hey, if you enjoy it. Then who would care for the ramblings of crazed monkey? thats what i mean! it just seems a bit strange to make an almost identical duplicate of an image that exists. I want to stress that i'm not attacking all you scan artists( some of the stuff i've seen is good, like as good as the original stuff... but then why bother, never mind...) But would you not find it more rewarding to make drawings and sketches of the charatchers? paintings, sculptures! or maybe photograpy, yes! you could dress up as the characters and take pictures of yourselfs! or, then theres performance art, you could gently pulse the lights in a room, claiming that its the light from the thrust of the planet express ship... you see, art... its not just tracing. *The opions expressed within that post reflect the opinions of nagrub at the time of writing, and not those of Nagrub.inc
thankyou for your time.*

Then what about those who couldn't draw a straight line to save their lives? Much less anything resembling a Futurama character? Yes, I'm talking about myself here.  Besides it's not like any of the scan artists people have ever claimed their pictures are entirely original creations, or art or whatever. Making original drawings/sketches more rewarding? Absolutely yes. Making original drawings/sketches actually feasible? Dear God, no. As already mentioned scans are of a higher quality than framegrabs: smoother lines, no artifacting, none of that grainy look most colors have in framegrabs, etc. Another advantage is the ability to resize them as needed, still with no loss of quality. Handy for avatars, wallpapers or even if you want a 2m*1m poster of Leela in her opera dress.

LaPointe: The Fry Hole has a good scan tutorial, under, uh... tutorials. Edit: Well, never mind. All in all, I'd say scans basically make it easier to have avatars, wallpapers, images for websites, or even a picture of one character from a certain scene. Sounds nice to me.
