I wasn't offended at all. I was disappointed because of how prevalent that pose is.
Sorry for not elaborating, I assumed that everyone knew what I was talking about, but I should not have done that, so I apologize. I'm glad you're more aware of this trend now, at least. No harm, no foul. I actually like your sketches, as I said (which is why I was a bit disappointed to see the clichéd pose, if I didn't like them I'd have just said nothing ^^) and you're obviously very talented.
All good, and thanks for the kind words!
