Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

[Onew~]

Big suggestion here.

Why don't we find the pictures of the images she traced(I already have those images FYI), track them to the source(I can do that), and contact the original photographer asking for their opinion?

If the photographer said that it was fine and dandy to keep using the lineart, we would have no trouble. If the photographer asked us to remove the lineart, then we'd remove it and so be it.

And no one should have rights to a picture of a horse honestly, because just because someone got lucky and caught an excellent shot of a horse, doesn't mean it's theirs alone to love.

Deep. Breath.

Being someone who takes joy in photography, I have to beg to friggin' differ.

It's not "getting lucky". People spend hundreds, thousands on a decent camera. Photography is art. That's like saying "Just because you got lucky and drew a cool wolf, doesn't mean it's yours alone to love".

Discussions of photography, unrelated artists, future possible pet changes, etc. are not relevant to the topic - please keep all posts specifically on the subject of whether or not the lines should be changed.

Has anyone mentioned when the voting will end and when this decision will be made?

If you actually don't know, then Tess explains everything on the first post.

Wow, somebody just deleted those posts. Anyways, it should be up to Tess to decide what to do. If she's known about it for so long and hasn't done anything about it until now (and 'art theft' isn't even the main reason they want to change it), it must not be too important to them.

I agree completely.
And this thread just sunk from 107 pages to 106. e.o

Agreed.
I don't see why people are so riled up about it. Why bother arguing over something that happened a few years ago? What's done is done.
