Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

[RoyalInTheDark]

I just thought of something...

If we are going to get worked over a lineart that looks like a refrence that was used, we have to go raid the oekakia(how ever that is spelled). Because a lot of people there use references and their drawings look a lot like the ref they used.

Just saying... Don't go biting my head off again and I'll leave my opinion at that.

Why are so many people voting yes???!!! The equine horses are so beautiful (even if the art was stolen) and many people including me find them valuble (since you can't get them anymore unless by trade or pound). Call me crazy but maybe I'll leave CS if these fantastic horses are transformed.

I VOTE NO!!!

And everyone else has the same right as you to vote the way they choose.

I wasn't trying to force people to vote no. I was just SAYING why I voted know.

You cannot copy and paste images into the oekaki.

You explained part of the reason right in your post- the art was stolen.

Yes, references are used by artists in oekaki, but the vast majority give credit to the original work.
*edit* And those that are found to be committing art theft are swiftly reprimanded.

Because we can.

I don't see the point in doing it on the Arabian line-art... The only changes are the mane, the tail, and the head is slightly smaller. If you're going to do that, why not just do it on the regular line-art and not make it so the artists have to make two sizes of all headgear, since the regular size ones will likely look too large on the Arabian line-art?

There is also the consideration that the Arabians were made specifically as store pets. If they were used for the equimagine designs, people who paid C$ or rare pets to get those Arabians would very likely be (rightfully) angry that almost identical horses on the same lineart had become widely available and for free. =/

Really? I wouldn't.
If this kind of change made the arabian lineart more popular because people would be collecting those kinds of horses and it generated more interest in the store horses it could be beneficial.
It's all in theory though. Who knows if this change will make the old horses (or in this case, even the store horses) gain value and popularity. It really is sad that the equimage horses are worth so little.

Leaving a site over an art switch is a little petty to be honest... Especially if all the art switch does is improve on the designs and such.

Actually, I find it pretty a valid course of action. If you're on a site collecting art (why would you collect it in the first place if you didn't like the art?) and that art is changed, well... There's no reason to be here is there?

It may be better art, but it's not the art you joined and collected for and that's all there is to it. I don't see the need to downplay this kind of thinking as "petty".

I said no but I think that the change is fine but I want a few horses like the dice PPS, buckskin PPS, and the rainbow mane to stay the same.

Well I definatly explained why its WRONG to vote yes more.

I would agree to change all the new horses to the old lineart, but not the other way around. Old lineart is my favorite. I would miss the way they look if it was changed. It shows the timeline of the site, even if the horses don't match.

Long live the old lineart!
