Artist's Comments

HOLY CRAP, I went into a stamp rampage today. Pretty soon, I'll need to make a separate account for all my stamps. xD

EDIT: ummm, hai, guys! I appreciate all the support in this issue! And I'm sorry I can't thank all of you for it! Let me just say, collectively, thank you very much! =) :heart:

I think the stamp speaks for itself, doesn't it?

Anime Vector Tracers: Cheapening the Vector process one trace at a time.

No, my friends, vector tracing anime screenshots will never be art, not in my eyes anyways. It's even insulting, since such things get more attention than amazing art that people put more effort on than tracing around with the PS pen tool.

Not that popularity is THAT important, but you can't argue that a little bit more exposure helps. And doing art for the sake of popularity is wrong. The thing is, these vector traces aren't done from the heart, most of the time, they're done for attention-whoring purposes and devoid of any creativity.

Anyways, dA should ban tracing, or at least move them to scraps. Maybe they're good for practicing actual vector traces, but that doesn't buy it a place in the spotlight.

My opinion. If you don't like it, by all means, argue with me. xD

No need to fave or comment, before you use. But it IS appreciated. :D

"OHLOLOLOLOL A PICTURE OF MY FUTURE HUSBAND SASUKE I MUST FAVE RIGHTCLICK SAVE WE R TTLY GOING TO HAVE 42 KIDS KAWAIIIIIIIII @w@ @w@ @W@"

I can't understand why dA allows such things. It's obviously very controversial and toes the line of art theft. =( It makes me kind of sad how such amazing art can get ignored while traced anime bullshit ends up on the FP. T__T

Yes! I agree : D
I hate all those people who just vector other people's stuff and get so popular for it.. I mean, there's no creativity in tracing someone elses art.

Moved accounts.

What gives me pain a lot is the artists adoring such a great art when they already know it's a vectorized image, I mean the purpose of these vectors are for wallpapers and those kinds of stuff alone.
They're giving vector tracing a different and a bad purpose.

Well yeah. The world is an unfair place, we need to get used to it and survive :)

Seriously. Dx I don't understand it either. And anime screencaps are the easiest to trace, since they're only mostly linear. :no:

:iconfacepalmplz:

Tracing is for practice and practice only. I mean, if they can't do anything but "practice" what does that make them? ._.
