There is going to be a repeat on linearts. The only thing I can say is... "Deal with it."

Not much can be be done. The thing that bugs me is; people can't color the lineart in neatly. They look all sloppy like such. I don't understand how it can happen, but does. HOW HARD IS IT TO COLOR A LINEART IN. You might as well call them sloppyins

Sloppy:

Neat:

I think i might know a reason why. Not knowing how to properly use the program they are using, meaning USE Layers. And theres a tool evan that helps its called "The magic wand Tool" They should take a stab at working with layers and the tool.

Um, in your first post it CLEARLY states that you are annoyed at the fact of people useing one person's line art, also known as repetive line arts. So coloring is not an issue, and please re-read your topic title and your first post to gather your thoughts. It is annoying when someone writes something about something else, and then they pretend they changed their idea... -_-


Original post, correct? Well, I don't see anything about coloring it. It's about making and useing lineart. Please stay on topic... ._.;

Now as for the matter itself, as KZ said, deal with it! There's A LOT of people here, so there will be repeated line arts. And definantly art theft. So best to just deal with it... ^^;

I noticed that. I have no problem with people using linearts, or even the same ones. But when the same people use the exact same linearts ALLLLL THE TIME?

My problem is this, are really all of your characters with the same facial structure? The same pose? The same hair? The same smile? The same nature? The same COLOR? Its ridiculous! Why do you even HAVE so many characters anyway? You're not using them! You're just reusing the same lineart over and over and over, and alot of the time its the EXACT same people. Like one individual person will use the same exact lineart 100%. And what drives me even MORE crazy is when the character in the ICON looks COMPLETELY different than the character in the Description or in the Fanart or what they're featured in! I am REALLY happy that the mods are going to clean out the fan characters section.

Agreed. Couldn't of been said better. I think alot of it is lack of creativity and flat out lazyness. Though that's the case with most people around here.

Well yeah, that's a big problem and it annoys me a lot...Okay, okay, I was doing that too, I gotta admit, but...Now I stopped. I am making my own linearts and using them instead of someones elses. (Adoption topics made me do that LOL)

I have never understood why the Kay Fedewa's lines are so popular, i think they are not originals and not very good...

Because of the Blackblood Alliance. She's garnered a lot of popularity from the comic and the animu wolf crowd thinks it's omgkawaii or something, I have no idea why it's popular either. After I found out about Kay Fedewa's attitude towards others (i.e. sicking her fans on people she thinks stole from her, which by her logic is anyone with a red wolf. Or a wolf character in general.) I stopped using her lineart.

I don't like using linearts so I don't have that problem. [Unless i'm the one making it] Lol.

I don't particularly mind using linearts, but I do agree heavily with Cat's point. Not every character is the same, so if you do use linearts (like I do, to conceptualize and show off designs of characters that I will be writing about and/or roleplaying with - it's extremely helpful) you should vary them for the type of character. I have been guilty of using similar linearts for several different characters, which was largely due to the fact that I didn't have many readily available at first. However, even with the few I had initially I tried to mix it up.

Also, I understand about people putting absolutely NO effort into coloring in a lineart. It's rather frustrating, because people could even do it the way I do it (the long way) and print them out and color them. I mean, how hard is it to really do that? Rendering can be a little trickier (especially if you're on a laptop with only a mouse pad T.T) But, even I'm trying to put forth some effort in learning to render better, I just refuse to post anything until I'm confident it doesn't look like a disappointment.

As far as using Kay Fed's linearts...they're readily available, free, and she doesn't care, which is why I think they're so popular, in addition to her comic. Not to mention, they're fairly easy to work with. Though I must say, my all time favorites are Wolf250's free linearts ^.^ So pretty! But not always easy to work with if you aren't already sure on a design and keep changing it. For instance: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v691/ ... radult.jpg and http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v691/ ... e/scan.jpg I actually did create both of their designs on these linearts, but it was a bit rough.
