Re: Rant Thread
Generally, if you don't copy other people's stuff really closely you should be ok. Furries are really loud so it seems more common then it actually is.Snowy wrote:That's literally the one thing making me want to think twice about starting to draw furry art.

This person's theft is WELL documented, despite her attempts to hide everything. She's been shown to be tracing over other peoples art/photos, right down to individual hairs, from the start. Layovers match up perfectly and the quality of her work drops drastically if she can't trace something for an image (or she decides she doesn't like a commissioner). People have been talking about taking legal action against her for a few years now.

Re: Rant Thread
I mean, I do what others do; lineart base copy, I'm a 'visual artist', I can usually mimic only the base of it, everything if I try hard enough (I'm too lazy hurderp)
Drawing a furry is harder then I thought..I got the position down, though I mean I'm going to use a base of a female sitting, but I can't draw muzzles for sh*t...or the ears...or my hair on a fox...or the eyes..or..yeah anything. *Sigh* Gahhh >.<, I can't find female FOX bases anywhere either, and my imagination isn't the best at creating muzzles..(let's just say the last time I tried making a howling wolf from scratch, he looked more like a duck-goat screaming at a ball of cheese :U)

Because not everyone knows.Snowy wrote:Urg. I just wanna stay away from that kinda stuff. :c I mean taking inspiration from an art style or pose or whatever I have no issue with, I do it myself sometimes, but outright copying entire images? I don't consider tracing to be art. It's not artistic, it's just theft. But why do people commission her if they know she's stealing/tracing??
She's a manipulative, compulsive liar with a massive victim complex, who's burned through multiple different names/fursonas trying to hide this. She blackmails, bullies, and guilt trips commissioners into removing beware posts and keeping quiet. She constantly claims to be on the verge of being homeless/bankrupt when asked for refunds (but keeps getting caught buying expensive new toys and pets). Constantly blames others for stuff not being done. Everything is always someone else's fault and she's constantly being "harassed".
She does a hand full of the commissions so she can claim she's working on the stuff. She's also started using stock photos in an effort to get around copyrights. When she get's caught, she pretends to be sorry and claims she'll do the right thing but goes right back to stealing once things quiet down (or she realizes she won't get her way).
And she posts photo realistic furry porn. It's taken years to get furry site admins to actually ban her, despite all the evidence.
Yeah. I got a lot of feels...
Re: Rant Thread
If you can get sculptris to work on your computer you can make and pose rough 3d models to draw over. I make custom ones to use for larger commissions myself. It let's me keep anatomy and proportions consistent in multi character pics. It's like using one of those wooden art dolls but with more customization. And it's a widely accepted practice in the art industry, unlike tracing someone else's work XDNoraNora wrote:Why do people feel the need to copy everything anyway?

Sketchup can also be used to make rough backgrounds. Both of these programs have free to use versions.
Screaming duck-goat sounds like a band name.

Sure thing! Let's roll.
"No, I mean RP with someone interesting."
... seriously? It's like that 'I want to talk to a girl' 'No, A HOT girl' thing. Just go be bored and whiny, then. I hate being the 'safe' option or the leftovers when all the interesting RPers are busy.

Re: Rant Thread
OH. THIS IS JUST FAN FUCKING TASTIC. That whole damn dilemma, that left my friend and I alone and blocked by those others, the fight that made me so depressed, got worse YET AGAIN. The other friend of mine, made up with them two days ago. It's like everybody's going to them, one by one I really am losing people. CAN ANYTHING ELSE HAPPEN, WORLD? I'M SO FUCKING PISSED AND SAD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL ANYMORE. STOP TAKING MY FRIENDS DAMMIT WORLD. WHY IS THIS JUST...UGH..I need to leave. I just. I don't.
I just don't.

Re: Rant Thread
Around twenty minutes ago I saw really weird flashes of light outside my house. I ignored it, but it wasn't like lightning. I then noticed a place circling the area I live in. It had beams of light and was circling very quick. One plane became two. Two became three, and as I moved to the other side of the house I saw one plane hovering above the trees. A friend in lavenham can see it too.
Around five ive minutes ago all of the planes suddenly left. The lightning is switching from a blue colour to orange over and over. It's scaring me so much, and I'm terrified. Now the lights are really quick, really bright and they keep moving between being close and far away. If this is a storm, this is weird. I know we are meant to have like 10 years of weird weather soon, because of solar activity, but that's not for a few years.
Wish I'd gone to sleep earlier...
Edit- From what I can tell, it isn't aliens. It's a magnetic storm. The thunder and rain just kicked in, and the planes were circling because they can't fly through. It causes circuit failure.
Still, doesn't explain how so many were in such small spaces, and how one was hovering.
