some abstract art

doesnt really matter anymore

[Mys]

How is it copying? If I want to make an abstract piece, I can. It's not new in any way.

....Or is it the method or something you're using to create these that people are copying?

[zelay]

yeah, some people just started saying stuff like:
"oh I saw something like this so i decided to do it!"

And its the method, it just seems a little "weird" that people are just looking at it and doing almost the exact same thing, even name the pictures the same.

Ahh I see why you'd be mad. I'd find it real hard to imitate what you're doing myself though o: Looks like you somehow got the brushes to glitch (which I've still yet to figure out how to do).

[zelay]

yeah.. i find it a little irritating...
lol, and it was 19clajul who came up with the original idea, we go to the same school and we are really good friends so we just started playing with the mouse at school ^^

and you dont need glitches, you are an awesome drawer <3

[Mys]

Ha thanks XD Still cool what you've come up with lol.

[zelay]

thanks <3

It's not an original idea, I have known how to do that for almost as long as I've been drawing oekaki, and I know a lot of other artists that know how to do that too.
It is really quite simple (if you know how) and I do not think it's fair of you to say 'this is our original idea, please credit us' when people have known how to do this for years...
That's like an artist saying they created air brushing, and you must credit them when you use it...
It's something available to everyone.

I'm just a little irritated that you've tried to claim it as your own thing, and that it's an 'original thing'.
It's not.
Sorry for sounding a bit rude, but I think you shouldn't claim something to be completely yours without thinking.

im not exactly claiming it as my own idea, but making something that looks almost exactly the same, the same exact name, and saying stuff like, i saw something like this so i did it, is a little irritating.

So what? If someone does art of an eevee, and then another person does art of an eevee, that doesn't make Pokemon or either artist mad because they did something the same.
You shouldn't get irritated over someone loving your art enough to try and do it themselves.
I've seen other artists have their ideas/drawings used almost exactly the same as others, but what they do is become really pleased that someone likes their art that much.

And you have made it seem like you want to claim it as your own idea, you have said 'credit to 19clajul and zelay' which people only do if it's their own, unique, original idea.
You've also said that you and this other player came up with the original idea.

That to me, clearly says you want to make this idea at least slightly your own, otherwise why would you try and take credit for it?

But as long as you understand it's something available to everyone, and it's not an original idea of yours (or the other user's) then that's fine. I just wanted to point out that it isn't your idea, so long as you understand that, that's awesome.
