There is no working search function for this thread, as it is a Global Announcement.
Gosh, there's so many rude posts… (edit: farther back) Art theft *is* wrong. But that's not why they asked us to change them.
Plus, even though they're eerily similar, Equimagine knew tracing was wrong, (afterward) so she probably wouldn't do it again.
There are some haters just because of the foals being confirmed to have been traced. So, of course, the mistrusting users may have scoured the bowels of the Internet to find a picture similar to it. Maybe she did trace them, maybe she had permission, (though that could still be wrong) or maybe some users manipulated the photos to get it to fit. I do realize that the thieves do stuff to their drawings to hide it. I'm just saying, don't jump to conclusions. They fit enough to be classified as art theft, however.
I like some being switched to the Arabian lineart, though. I don't think Yulyhn's lineart would do them justice, but maybe they could do certain ones on the lineart and certain ones on another (new or old) lineart? That may defeat the purpose of uniformity though…
