I stayed away from those situations other than to observe that she was making them. Frankly, I do not know whether or not they WERE closed, or whether some still exist or not. Since you seem to be searching out certain threads and comments without reports being filed, and targeting certain postings by certain MEMBERS, I presumed (obviously incorrectly) that you were doing that consistently...across the board. Guess not, hm?

So how is that our problem?

UK- I know I have spoken with any mod about that rule, I forgot who it was, but they said this was allowed. I asked that back when I was newer. So I have allowed that ever since.

I -DID- report them.
They were closed as "No action taken" by Moss without even a message as to why.

Honestly I agree with UK completely..

If there is a problem with Charlotte posts, why haven't THEY been reported? The only thing I'm seeing here is a person being, shall I say, persecuted because her renders don't match up to your expectations. I saw nothing wrong with these, and if I saw anything extremely bad, I deactivate them. That is not the case here and you guys are making a big deal out of nothing and hurting an innocent, young human beings feelings.

Yes, you guys are giving this member special treatment. I remember on another image in this gallery, that has been modified, you said that "everyone has to start somewhere", and the image itself looked awful. The image remained activated.

You guys are MODS.
Not art fairies. You should be doing your modding JOB.

The rules have stated for years - "Do not render an official character into itself, like rendering Balto into Balto."
If you cannot do your jobs without picking at everything JC or Mighty says, please let another impartial mod deal with it.

Mmm...exactly Kelsey. There was a whole barrage of such critical comments from this member on several pages over the last day or so. Ironic...I didn't see so much as a single correction or "all negative comments stop now" from any moderator on any of those pages. Huh.

I am not picking on Charlotte. Just pointing out a fact as I see it. If you expect people to comply, you have to be CONSISTENT. Otherwise it doesn't mean diddly. And hey -- those site rules? Yeah, really ought to be followed.

Or is that too "negative"?

Mighty- Special treatment? No, if I saw a render like this on any other gallery then I would accept it. What is wrong with it?
Truly, the only thing a bit off, is Star's ears. Everything is colored in correctly, there are no little white dots surrounding the lines.

I just took a peek and the render in the rules example. They are nothing alike. If I saw an image like THAT I would deactivate it.

Mighty, there is no special treatment being given, just a chance to improve. I keep my bad renders to show how far I've come.

Yeah, everyone starts somewhere, and some do begin by rendering characters into themselves before rendering their own characters.

I remember when I rendered Balto over Balto and it got deactivated because it 'wasn't allowed'.

Also this person is a start for trouble... They think everything on BS is a sparkledog so they harass anyone who thinks BS isn't a sparkledog, especially characters. This image is them trying to 'improve' the characters because they think everything is a sparkle.

You might want to peruse the image listed with the "Bad Render" rule. It looks rather similar to this.

Not that that's the main issue people were even on about.
Everyone understands you've got to start somewhere. It was the fact they rendered the characters into themselves. That has always been a no-no because it was used to get around the Official Character to Fan Character ratio.

You are giving this member special treatment. I remember a time when I was mod a badly made image like this would get deactivated, and the mod would post a note to as of why it was deactivated.

UK -- True, it does say no bad renders, but come on! No one's first line of renders start out perfectly. You should know that. Everyone here should know that. Charlotte will improve. It will just take time and she not learn to improve if people are hounding her.

UK- I see, but this is not a bad render. It is colored completely, just because it isn't an expert render. Does not make it a bad one.

Yoo-Kay! Tsk! For shaaaame!

Let me just point something out real quick;

Go on the Images page.
Click "Send".
Look at the second one down under "Not Allowed".
See it says "Bad renders".

It might just be me, but it looks like it says no bad renders.

I agree with Imagine, Brown Wolf, and Wolflover.

She is new at this! I know I was terrible, but I was lucky enough to have Zuko tutor me through paint, the Photoshop. So she needs the same, she needs tutorials.

Her images are not pointless, they have a point, and that may be practice. That's a good enough point.

She'll get there. She just needs a little more practise, that's all. I'm sure she'll improve.

Charlotte: Try having a look at some of the Pixlr tutorials, Aleu15 has one, so you could have a try at that. See what's right for you.

Charlotte has pixlr. Thanks for telling me that by the way

If you want, I can try to make a tutorial on rendering using pixlr. It looks like a combination of Paint and GIMP so for me, I should get the hang of that program pretty easily.

I suppose a good lot of you want this deactivated because it's badly made and not what you would have done, yes?

To those of you who gave the Paint or GIMP tutorial, you have my thanks.

As to the rest of you, well, I'll reserve judgment, but I will NOT deactivate this because you have forgotten when you started rendering.

All negative comments stop now.

Kelsey: I don't have MS paint!

Hello , I have stopped by here and thought , I'd like to give my opinion out ( don't worry I'll try to be as polite and clear as I can ) , I personally don't think it look that bad compared to some other works I have seen on the internet ( I'm not accusing anyone , so please don't take this personally ) , but It may be improved , and I think I can recommend you a way to do this a little bit more clean and in an easy way.
Some of the members of this source have made several tutorials like this one , which are easy and look pretty cleany , here you've got an example , by wicked innocence ( for if the problem is that you would like to render and you don't know how ) :

http://www.animationsource.org [...] ed-s-way-to-render-t27914.html

I hope this helps you to improve your renders , then about the colors you've given to the trio , I'm fine with them , each one of us surely would have designed some characters on our own different to the movie , so I don't see anything wrong with it

If you would like some help rendering in Paint, I have a tutorial that you'd might want to look at, Charlotte
Also, I think Star's breed might be an Alaskan klee kai, and, just my opinion, I think Nikki's color should be just a little darker.

People for years have been rendering with their MOUSE on MSPAINT. There's no excuse for not being able to render.

I have a hard tim doing that on this computer

Look, I'm not trying to be rude in anyway at all toward you Charlotte, but if you had left the characters alone, or actually rendered over the image in the first place it would have looked much better. Trust me.

You needed to do that in the first place?

It came out that way when I did lighting and contrast.

I agree with Kelsey here. It looked more like a Chow Chow before.
