hmmm I started out by tracing screenshots, then i drew them by eye only with the pic next to me. then I drew a particular screenshot by memory. I then looked at what was different between my "memory drawing" and the screengrab and thats how I discovered my style.

Honestly. I think tracing screenshots and then posting the traced drawing is..well i dunno.. kind of annoying maybe. its hard for me to explain.

Yep, giving critique on someone's artwork is being a troll. THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.

*uh-hum* this is MY TOPIC you don't have to flame me if you don;t agree, and I'M COMPLETLY OKAY WITH IT if they but it in FAN IMAGES if they but it in Fan atr and say "I traced it" then that's okay too, and I don't mind that, BUT I'm not talking about THAT i'm talking about the people who say "Look what I did." and say it;s thiers, and I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ANYONE'S ART I LOVE when people draw in their own style without tracing, nomatter how good they are, their not tracing other fanart or anything, at least thier trying and doinng it right, now as I said before, I don't mind the actual tracing if they but it in fanimages or said they traced, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE CREDIT FOR IT! And a winner? Just leave me alone, okay? I don;t want anybody to get banned on here! Your missing the point, and yelling at me for what your misunderstanding!And also, this people I'M TALKING ABOUT have like 8 pages filled with it and saying they did it all, and thier not tracing! It is a GREAT way to start drawing, yes, but you HAVE to move on somtime!

No, I'm saying PEOPLE WHO TAKE CREDIT and get favs, it would be FINE if they said they traced it, it's different if they drew it, that make all the other users who work on thier art and try to work off of the balto screenshots have less favs then the other people because they say they drew them! And I'm not TALKING ABOUT ME I'm taling about the younger users who work and work and work and don;t get anything!

Do you have a 100% relable proof they 'traced ' it.

You know, if favs were actually worth a dime, making such a big deal about this would actually make a little more sense. :cyclops:

Oh yeah, and disagreeing on a rant makes it a flame. Also makes total sense. Man, everything I knew about the Internet was totally wrong!

Lulz. This is Balto Source, not North Korea's publications department. Nobody gets banned for an opinion. Leave you alone? The rant board isn't a "OMG UR SOOOOO RITE! *kawaiihugglesdesu*" board. If you put up an argument, I have a right to argue against it.

Translating your post from tl;dr: If you disagree with me, don't post. And if you do post, you're flaming me. You will get banned for having a differing opinion too.

I agree that posting traced artwork and calling it your masterpiece is retarded. But looking at renders, it seems like BS has majorly bent the tracing rule to the point nobody knows how to define tracing on BS anymore. (I'm guilty of rendering, I'll admit it.)

its okay to have different opinions. I think that if you disagree on something you should just share your views and how it makes you feel and stuff like that. No need to get worked up because that never solves anything

Agreed with Dr. Rex, Luckyshamrock and darkcloud. (Sorry, I couldn't quote. Too many quotes.) With no doubt. Seriously, but telling people NOT to post their opinion, is just childish. It's like you SO badly want to be right. And yeah, like Lucky said, you got your own praise topic! Be happy with that, and don't whine (Like DarkCloud said. I also agree with him/her.) about having few favs. Also, I agree with Dr. Rex. He seems quite right about you being jealous, because to me, it seems like you're whining about don't having enough favs. And critique, is almost some of the best things an artist could get. You haven't understood how great this is, if you think it's a troll. Oh, BTW, you're trying to stop a flame war. I'm afraid it's too late for that.

are you talking to zasha or me? ^^; sorry. I wasn't sure

Angel Dreamer · **Posted:** Tue Apr 07, 2009 2:42 pm

Zasha10- is this what you are trying to say?
People who draw/ trace the screenshots get more views, comments and favorites, while people who don't do that get less of that stuff? Are you saying you don't feel appreciated or not getting what you feel you should be getting?
