But cow! Didn't you get the memo? That pose is copyrighted! xD

Why are people in LFR suddenly retarded when it comes to General Nazgrim's fight?

Must of missed that one!

On the subject of theft. I am FURIOUS with this SL user right now with how many things they are stealing from God knows how many games and SELLING them!
Worst part? Nothing I can do about it, it seems.
Example: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Wolf/5390679 HMMM. WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS COMPANION BEFORE? Oh right! When I was JOINING THE COMPANIONS IN SKYRIM.
Ugh ugh guhg ughfughduhgli;sejgrseklfiru;sseskdfhiflsew;a8fmd, nvjthrkwyio;qpwf/k4sd;tlkmg

EDIT: Yes, I linked to the person. And I do not give any fucks. They deserve everyone to know what they are doing and to be sued out the ass for it.
And yes, I am mad. So mad.

Very few things make me angrier than people assuming someone stole art just because two designs look similar. -.- Sorry, that's how art works. There are a million artists all creating original things. You think they aren't going to look similar every now and then?

I was trying my best not to join that on Tumblr but I'm weak and did XD

I've been accused of art theft because my stuff looks like others or the pose is the same! It's dumb.

Isn't the greatest form of flatery supposed to be imitation? Why do they think sites like deviant art exsist? People learn and develop their own art by looking at how others do their thing so ofcourse sometimes stuff is going to look similuar!! Its like when people say "oh you don't draw you just copy other peoples characters" whatever... I had a GM who told us she was an artist but refused to show us or put her stuff online incase someone "copied it". Wtf is the point then?

One of the only times I'd say it's not okay is when you see people on Deviantart who just trace a drawing and/colour something and say it's theirs with out giving credit to the person who made it in the first place. If I saw someone do that to my art I don't think I'd be very happy about it. Maybe I'd be fine if they asked but most of the time when I see that on DA they don't give credit where credit is due ya know?

It's fine to draw your own work with others characters but if it's just a simple line trace? or a colouring on a B/W work? I think you should ask the person who made it first before putting the pen to paper/tablet or else that's a form of art theft. That's my 2 cents.

When I say that I mean when you put it online! Indeed traceing/copying is a very good form of learning how to improve your art but it's best not to put that online and say it's your own work and when I mean copying I mean when you draw a picture 100% the same. Gah you guys get what I mean right?

Eveytime I make a edit to this it seems to get more confuseing to me @.@

I've done basic colorings of lineart before. I suck at it but I've done it but I always made sure to ask first.

Yeah I'd be fine if someone wanted to do my work like that if they asked. I'd more then likely say yes!

[Lisaara]

It's usually what linearts are for. A lot of times, artists will already say it's okay but I always ask on principle cause...well...it's not mine.

[Lupis]

Cat got out and disappeared. Now she won't come back. ...It's dark out, we live in the country, and there are fast roads all around us.

Best part, my dad keeps trying to mess with me and they get upset at me when I'm upset. Sorry, I guess fearing for my cat's life isn't good enough reason for me to not want to joke around.

[Dewclaw]

Lupis your dad might be trying in his own way to cheer you up. He's doing it badly, but perhaps his heart is in the right place?

Hope your kitty comes home soon.

[cowmuflage]

God might have to take Minnie to the vet. I don't think a cat should be sneezing constantly all day. Like she must of sneezed about 20 times in like 10 mins. @.@

Haha yeah I get what you mean I don't meant tracing or colouring anothers work cause yeah thats a no no. But someone having a go at someone else for copying a pose or character design but drawing it yourself etc shouldn't be considered theft, but thats my opinion. I'm not a professional artist I just do drawings etc for fun. If your selling stuff others have done thats defiantly theft.

I really like how we can share drawings here and on deviant art etc cause isn't that whats art for, to be enjoy by others

my rant: My father seems to think its ok to pay for one sisters wedding ($30k), give another that hasn't spoken to him in 30yrs $10k for no reason but the one daughter thats kept in touch and makes sure hes ok...I'm not worth anything. I have never asked for anything in 31 yrs and all of a sudden he doesn't have the money he promised me for our wedding. Not that we need it desperatly but it would be nice to know i'm worth just as much as my useless half sisters who don't give a rats about him...

[Dewclaw]

cowmuflage, sounds like a URI. Most are viral and last roughly 10 days (if your cat has been vaccinated, it'll be shorter and less intense). It can turn into bacterial infection and pneumonia, however.

Could also be an allergy, etc. Does kitty also have goopy/runny/watery eyes?

[cowmuflage]

She has a bit of gunk but not any more then normal levels anyway. She might be getting a visit to the vet tomorrow just to be on the safe side anyway and yup she's up to date with all her shots.

[mpd_84]

Despite what furries may have you believe, female fennekins are a myth. So many resets...

[cowmuflage]

Went to the vet and Minnie has both a viral and bacterial infection of her airways and it's a very good thin she has been vaccinated. Now we have to give her a paste once a day and a paste that goes in her eyes twice a day and some other drug on Saturday for 3 days. That eye paste is going to be so fun....not!

wat

I got mine in like... five resets? But the chance of it being female is like, what, 12.5%? Seems weird since that evolution line is all very feminine.

Just did the eye paste and while the vet made it look easy it's not that hard! Just had to get mum to pin her down and it was smooth sailing from there!

I'm a bit bummed that I can't enter to win any of the cash prizes in the borderlands 2 loot hunt because I'm not American but hey the in game loot is pretty good! Already got a SMG and sniper upgrade!

[Kirrandria]

NO. GULPIN IS NOT FURFROU Fuck that was even at 4 away and everything. I was at a chain of 20! X_X

[Varethyn]

I was recently told that I sound like a chicken when I laugh. Great, now I'm nervous to talk or laugh in public. So much for working on my self-confidence.
