Artist's Comments

I want to make another version of this at some point. I think maybe the text is too hard to read. I can't tell because I already know what it says... XD feedback, people, feedback!

Are you against tracing? So are we. Join the club and help us make a difference :D

I should make a stamp that says "I support original art" or something. :lol: Yay!

XD I'm belting these out basically as often as I can, but I hope I'm maintaining good quality here :D

Too bad the admins won't delete it anymore :(

Anymore? As in recently? I've reported many things, and they've been deleted. Maybe it's 'cause people probably report tons of things that really don't need to be reported.

Nope. The entire point of this club is that deviantART stopped removing traces in the fan art gallery. Check this article.

Basically, you can't get traces removed anymore unless:

1. They contain parts of the original or
2. They are of another deviant's work.

And I even know of a deviantART member- a subscriber, no less- whose work was traced back in like, June or July. It's been five weeks since she reported it and the admins have sent her reports back as "invalid," even though she gave proof and stuff. It's really sick.

Ugh, I know what you mean. o.e I've sent in 2 reports of pieces that were both traced/colored over another deviants art. Pfft. They even gave the original artists credit. And I still haven't got a reply yet from the admins. Is coloring over fan art now safe if it's credited? >.<

Oh, I see. See, I guess I was sort of incorporating art theft (as in actually art theft, without changes or very little) in the reportings.

Well, in that case, I guess it's just harder to prove. But, really, how can it not contain parts of the original if it was traced? I mean, even if you're just tracing a body/pose, it still contains parts of the original! Unless you mean that there is actually a part that wasn't traced and it was incorporated in with the rest that was traced?

Not sure how happy I am with this, but it sort of seemed this way from the beginning. And they make it sound like tracing is okay, you know, if it's practice.

I was using the dA definition, pretty much. "Contains parts of the original" meaning "shows parts that the tracer didn't color or paint over"... =P

You are completely right.

And tracing is very much not a good way to practice- they just want an excuse to not have to deal with traces. x__x I'm currently in the process of writing another news article that includes a bunch of stuff about why tracing is a really inferior "learning method."
