Artist's Comments
"You're just jealous;" the eternal comeback of people who have no other defense but don't want to be mature and back down.
Seriously, there is nothing to be jealous of. If anything, tracers should be jealous of original artists. Why? 1. We can legally sell our work. They can't. 2. The comments and praise that we get feel so much better because they're on our own, original artwork. They get hollow comments. 3. We are constantly growing and improving. They will stagnate and get frustrated. 4. We can draw in public and amaze people. They have to do their work in secret so no one will know they traced. 5. When we get good, we can freely draw things from our own minds. They will be forever constrained by needing something else to trace. 7. We can make original characters instead of Naruto with blue hair. ...And so much more!  So yeah. Tracers should totally be jealous of us. Are you against tracing? So are we. Join the club and help us make a difference  |

I have a subby on my main, but I only have it because someone else subbed me.
Maybe I should make some non-sub stamps, you know, the kind you make with avatars. xD
