Eh, well, lots of people like to trace anime screenshots, change the colors and call it "their character."

This isn't targeted at anyone specific.

So I've seen. There is so much traced crap in the pixel bases and I've reported it before, but the admins won't delete it.

And actually, I did that trace/recolor myself (so I wouldn't have to yoink something and get a thousand preteens screeching at me), but if you look around long enough I'm sure you'll find one somewhere.

Sprites are the same way. How many red Sonic The Hedgehogs have we all seen...

Yeah. I prefer originally made bases. >>. <3

Seeing as how I'm into pixeling. XD

Ahkay. XD I was wondering why no one had like.. complained. .. seeing as how kids do like to complain about being wrong. :]

True true. I know someone who made bases out of the little images in pokemon. You know, when you play the gameboy games and the battle screen comes up? They're little sprites, your opponents. Yeah. She's made a 'base set' with those. >.O -nods-

Mmm pixeling~ I'm terrible at it, but I like looking at it. xD

Yeah, I was talking to a doller who said that unfortunately, tracing is pretty much considered "the norm" among base makers. I can understand using a stock photo or something else that you have permission to use, but tracing off someone else's art without their permission is just low.

I confronted someone who did that once, and she said, "I'm not asking credit for the picture, I'm asking credit for the base." But that doesn't matter because she was still re-distributing someone else's artwork

I don't understand why it doesn't set off a red flag for these people. I knew that tracing was wrong when I started making fan art...
