Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

[Draikinator]

On the topic of whether or not the lines will be changed regardless of the poll; probably? I can't imagine a site that has it explicitly stated in a dozen places tracing = bad allowing traced work officially, or even not going through with it after having put so much work into it already. This is just a nicer way for us to feel more in control over the situation, that it's not tess doing it to us, we did it to ourselves. So when it goes through rather tahn users be upset wildly at staff, they only have themselves to blame for not gathering enough support for the poll. Even though it will probably go through anyway.

Query though: People have been saying for dozens of pages we need to get 75 percent yes on the poll but, I never actually saw Tess say that. Did she?

This way people get forewarning and can express their opinions, concerns and suggestions, which means we can hopefully adjust things to have the majority at least content with the proposed changes, instead of just going "This is happening - deal with it". If the vast majority was very against it, there would probably be other solutions looked at that would make people happier instead of charging ahead regardless.

Tess never said what exact percentage she was looking for, as far as I know - 75% is just a number people think is likely. :3

Yes exactly! Thank you, I'm so bad at wording.
Is that so? hm.
Any word from god on how the neutral votes are being counted? I can only assume counted towards yes?

I really hope they do change it

I LOVE the ones we have now

I don't think anyone was bragging, I know I wasn't.
But in any case, I would like the line changes, I think its the right thing to do, and if it does happen it won't be the end of the world, and if it doesn't it won't be the end of the world either.
I just think change is good is all.
That's all I have to say, I tried to be polite, sorry if I upset anyone. It wasn't my intention, I was just defending my position.

I do not agree on changing the old horses. I like the old horses and ponies better than the new ones. I have a draft horse and I don't want it changed and no offense but I think the new draft design is sort of ulgy and i don't want my draft horse looking like the new version.

I agree the new drafts head looks too small for its body and it just looks....weird.

Yes. It's a disgrace that CS has continued to foster art theft, especially considering how hard they come down on this in the art boards. No more hypocritical pets and yes to giving homage to real artists, please.

Just because you like something does not excuse the theft. That's a horrible, pathetic excuse to keep traced lines.

I think that would look gorgeous on the new lines.

Alas, it seems that in this choice democracy rules.

If you love the equimagine linearts, keep in mind they'll be archived somewhere that's not officially part of the site.

You may find yourself pleasantly surprised by how much you like the new change, too!

Myself, I'm looking forward to the opportunity to use lineart untainted by any hint of scandal. And before this gets ground into the dirt again: Equimagine herself admitted some degree of wrongdoing. Also, it's pretty hard to do this by coincidence:

I know change is frightening. But I think this will be a great change for CS overall. c:

This is rediculous! This image has been posted on like every other page, I think just about everyone on CS know that they are traced already, can we just stop bringing it up over and over again? EVERYONE knows already. It is like some people just want to have a reason to bash equimagine everything.

I think I need to just stop and clarify some things, if that's all right.

1. Not everyone knows this, and I consider it the most compelling reason to vote for the switch. Especially given that search does not work on this thread, you will probably see people posting it often.

2. I do not mean to bash equimagine - that's not my intent in the least. She draws horses better than I can, anyway. c: As an artist I understand how this sort of thing could have happened. This thread is not a witch-hunt against her or anything like that.

3. However, a mistake was made. Equimagine admitted that mistake. I don't think anything has been really done to fix it, though. And since this change *would* fix it, that's why I'm all for it. c:

After all, we all make mistakes. What matters is what we do after we make them.

Please take some deep breaths. Nobody is out to persecute you here. We just simply disagree, and that's okay. Pointing out facts is not being mean, it's just pointing out facts, I'm afraid.

[ShadowHunteress]

I think what that person meant is that even though there is a majority that wants the new lines, there is still almost 1,000 people that don't. And that is a lot of people. They did not mean that more people wanted no change or anything like that, please try to see their view before posting stuff like that as it seems a little rude.
-Snip-

Thank you for understanding what I meant. It doesn't matter if they brag, because a few mods have said that there most likely won't be change unless 75% wants 'Yes'.

I highly doubt they won't go through with it if the majority wants it, they will upset more people if they don't then if they do, and Tess NEVER said anything about 75% the mods are guessing.

Exactly, she admitted to her mistake so lets just move on already shall we?

[mawsoleum]

Admitting to something doesn't make it right, you must correct yourself with change to truly move on.
