Artist's Comments

The FAQ, the Copyright Policy, and the Etiquette Policy all say things that should raise a big flag when somebody traces.

Why this big exception for fan art?

It's not your art when you trace. It's somebody else's work, with your modifications.

Which, by the way, is NOT YOURS.

Traced art is, in fact, highly disrespectful to your fandom. :/ If you love it so much, why not put real effort into fanworks?

Exactly what I think. I would be ashamed to show the original creator something traced.

I get fan art for my webcomic sometimes, and I tell ya, it's the best feeling in the world. The quality of the artwork simply doesn't matter that much. If it's really breathtaking, that's great, but mostly it's the feeling of someone liking your work enough to put time and effort into their very own piece, for you. :nod: So I don't think people should worry about "not being good enough" because it's truly the thought that counts.

Sorry for the ramble there...

Damn right it's not. I agree with Nikkicub, it's an insult to the original artists and to the rest of the fanbase when you trace official art and submit it as fanart.

Yeah, it really is insulting- to have your own art plagiarized and spit back at you as "fan art"! I mean, I'd be offended :o

I agree with Nikkicub as well. It is an insult to the artist.

Icon taken off a drawing of Teto Kasane on PIAPRO!

Every time you put a robot in a sticky situation and don't help them out, NOS-4-A2 kills an android. Don't kill androids. Stop putting your robots in sticky situations and start helping them.

Oh that's a nice speech.
The bit about the quality, because sometimes, it's sooo hard!
Took me ages to draw one person from a manga the other day... but it came out good. I'd feel so unproud (u=is that a word) if I'd traced it.
