Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

It's been awhile since these have been posted so, just for reference. Some comparison images of Equimagine's pets and the photographs they were traced from.
Rainbow Mane
Draft Horse

Unicorn

Guys, really, only one of them was really traced. Did you ever heard about using photo as reference? >__<

Copying/Tracing/Modifying/Claiming ownership of other peoples art/lineart:

If you copy, trace, or edit someone else's art (without their permission) this is considered a form of art theft.
Don't pretend to have made art which was actually made by another artist.
Don't trace or freehand copy another person's art, unless you have their permission.
Don't modify or edit another person's art unless you have their permission.

Using photo references for your artwork:

If you heavily reference your artwork from a photograph then please give credit by posting a link to the original image. The reference information should be clearly visible above or below your image.

It's against CS's art rules (especially since no credit was given), period.

I'm not reposting the links to start a fight, because I'm tired of arguing with people who think art theft doesn't matter.
I'm merely posting them so that people can make an informed decision, because the dubious nature of the artwork is relevant to everyone's personal ability to decide whether or not they want to move the designs to the new lines.

Art theft . . . doesn't matter?! -snorts and splutters self into indignation- By the way, I'm not saying I don't approve of what you said. I do, actually. xD

You blatantly don't know what tracing looks like. Those aren't references- too many lines match up PERFECTLY. Some parts she obviously rotated a few legs or feet just a bit to make it less obvious, but you can move them to and the lines match up perfectly. That is physically impossible to do with a reference.
Besides, it's a little late, because Equimagine owned up and admitted several were traced.

I know, what I'm talking about. Probably, some parts was really traced (but not all!), and, that not means, that it need to talk about this everywhere.
This thread about YES or NO. moderators asked several times to stop this theme about art theft.

Believe it or not, the art theft is actually a very important factor in people's decisions, since some actually have morals and don't support it. <3 It needs to be brought up every now and then so people can make informed decisions.

They never told us to stop - just to stop being so rude and to keep the debate civil. When something like this is such a big deal when deciding to vote yes or no, it's going to have to be brought up. Asking for it not to be is crazy.

If someone comes to this thread to decide whether or not they want the lines to be removed, the deserve to know the truth. it doesn't matter if a line or two is 'original,' the work is stolen and everyone needs to know that to make an informed decision.

To be frank, I do not care. You're not a mod, you can't tell me what to do and I think you have absolutely no idea what you're takling about. I will not argue with you. I am merely providing the information so an informed decision can be made. They can look at the photos and decided whether or not they believe they are stolen themselves.

Someone s always arguing with you Drac. XD


Links were just to bring them up not to start the fight over again -_-

[soupalicious]

I just want the new Drafts and the new unicorns. I might actually like them then, instead of getting them just for a full collection and then letting them rot in my account xD

This is the problem when there`s a topic about sharing your opinions about a certain thing. It creates storms through other people, because everybody has their own opinion, it`s simply yin and yang. Just because somebody says "no", it doesn`t mean you have to create an argument with them because you disagree same if you say yes, whether you like it or not, a choice will be made. And again, stop arguing about art theft, the mods have been trying their best to make us avoid it.

They have told us to stop fighintg, to stop being rude, and to stop rule breaking while discussing it. They have explicitly said we are allowed to talk about it. Let it go.
