"So, I recieve a warning today. I'm not sure if it's from you, I have a bad habit of deleting things after reading them & not realizing who they're from.
At any rate. I'll probably be banned, as i once again commented in Tarechan's webpage - in response to someone else.
But, before I get kicked off here (& not bother coming back if I'm ever allowed) I figured I should tell you why I did what I did, & why it doesn't matter to me if I'm banned.
This is an art site, for artists to display their work.
This isn't a place for 13 year olds to post traced images, & get complimented on how awesome they are, when the rightful compliments should be going to the person who drew the original picture.
At least, that's what I thought this place was... after the last few days, I guess I was wrong.
Personally, I don't even want to be associated with this place now. This really disgusts me. Someone could take a picture I've drawn, trace it, add some different shading or something, claim they drew it, & you're okay with that? Seriously, WTF???
That's really a great policy. Personally, art theft is already running rampant without people encouraging it. It honestly disgusts me that you allow this to go on.
I guess I don't really have much else to say, other than rehashing how shocked I am that you don't even care if someone takes a direct trace from a game guide & claims they drew it "with a reference"
Yeah, a reference. I overlayed the damn images & they're the exact same. 95% of the lines match up. But I guess it's not like that matters.
Anyways, I just wanted to put in my 2 cents. not like it matters.?

its not even your pic that was drew so why are you still gripping about it you need to grow up and get a life. art theft mean taking a pic and making money off of it she gave credit to where she got the idea from and unless you were sitting right there watching her trace you dont have hard evidence that she did. why dont you drop this before you get into more trouble

Art Theft isnt only when people make money off of other people's art. Durr.
Tracing can help other's learn to draw BUT DONT UPLOAD IT AND CALL IT YOUR OWN ART. Practice is good, theft is bad.
People need to learn right from wrong.
Id laugh if these "artists" were in art college and pulled shit like that. Um, its NOT okay, that would get you expelled, moron. This is why you have to be original and learn to give credit. People are so stupid.
