To people making me feel horrible for calling out on an art thief, thanks a lot. I feel really crap now.
I have just found out the person who was tracing art has a personal site, with traced art on it (no credit ANYWHERE to ANYONE).
To top it up, it has a "web store" section with pictures of his traced art and mugs for like $25.00 saying "coming soon".
Although he's not making money off it *currently* it proves how they think there's nothing wrong with tracing and copying art and making money from it, but hey, we shouldn't do anything to discourage them or teach them to draw for themselves.
Finally. The rock hard proof that no one can deny, if you think there's nothing wrong with this then you are deluded and I will not discuss this with you. If this makes me a horrible person then feel free to unwatch me and block me.
Fact is, eyeballing is just as bad as tracing. Eyeballing something is copying. You can't copy something, then change some bits of it and call it your own. That's plagiarism. You can't say you're using the original as a "reference". Using something as a reference means looking at a subject from multiple sources and angles to help you make your own poses more accurate, not to copy their poses line for line. I fully believe tracing helps you learn, but do it privately, don't go posting it online, or at least get permission first.
Sorry for going on about this again, but I'm dropping it now. I don't even care anymore, hell, let's let anyone steal art!
This is not a witch hunt journal, neither was the other one. My intention was not to send abuse to this person, but to try help them learn to be a better artist. They clearly have artistic ability! I don't believe they did this maliciously, I don't think I could have handled this in a nicer way, I have no regrets, heck I even apologized...

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN
jk lol. Just had about 5 journals like this so I thought I would join in too~
I'm NOT taking commissions! I doubt I ever will as my job keeps me pretty well paid, sorry guys!
MegaRezfan
Can I just say, how amazing have MegaRezfan (https://www.deviantart.com/megarezfan)'s designs have been lately?
No matter if its human characters, or pokemon, he's been killing itttttt.
I'm sure all of you already watch him but if you don't please do! You won't regret it!
It's like seeing concept art from the GameFreak company archives, I could imagine all of them being in a game!
Both super original and creative at the same time as having buckets of personality in each of his designs!
You make me proud of the fandom ;__;
Fakemon Awards 2014/2015
Hey guys!
Please visit the following journal and make your opinion heard!
But I will make a suggestion -
Vote for the past year - NOT just your favourite artists (who may not have done much in the last year.)And also please choose carefully as you can vote for multiple artists, so try to vote for as few as possible to stop the same people winning everything just because they get included in every vote even if they're not your favourite! (if that makes sense...hehe)
