Equine Transformation Project - VOTING CLOSED

[Princess Anna]

i think half the "no" voters have just clicked on "no" because of all the banners in people sig's

I'm mainly lurking in the discussion,but I had to answer to this because I feel it's disrespectful towards lots of people.
I assume those that voted "yes" did so because they have an opinion.Please,show us the same courtesy.

I agree. ^^" It's not really right to just assume, everybody has opinions~

If will all horse change... What happens to these horses please?
Do you know it someone? :)

They will all be changed. The zebras I think are getting their own lineart, along with the unicorns, and the donkey is going on Yulynh's already-existing donkey lineart, that we had for Christmas one year.

The donkey Yulynh made was just a pony lineart with lineart edits, was it not? I believe the unicorns, donkies and possibly zebras will all be getting new, unique lines, along with the dice pps, buckskin pps, and rainbow mane (according to Tess, not sure what she meant exactly though. Right now we dont know for sure)

It is, yeah. But that is what I have heard throughout this thread.

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
Foal

Unicorn

Keeping this bumped up for anyone unaware!
The art theft is pretty much the main reason why I'm for the change. It feels so wrong for a site based around collecting art to be using stolen art, IMO.

For the Rainbow Mane, how about compare it to this DIFFERENT photo? Click #1 or this? Click #2 or maybe this? Click #3? Or even this? Click #4 or even this. Click #5. Why must it be compared to THAT photo?

As has been stated dozens of times already whether or not Equimagine's art is stolen is not up for debate. She admitted it herself years ago!! All that is being debated currently is whether you (collectively the CS Community as a whole) feels comfortable continuing to use this stolen artwork.

Because that's the one it was traced off of. What I assume she did was rotate individual parts like the legs, head, etc. If you don't believe me, here's an overlay I did doing the same thing:

Woaaah that all becomes clear. I'd say that one was definitely traced too.

Argh. It was too far back. Screw me. -3-

Sorry I left my tablet on the 300th page and I think my post was outdated. :p

Anyhow, I think there was a post about [a certain flaming issue] being shoved under a rug... >.>

Ah, I understand. You have no problem with things being swept under the rug.
Has it perhaps occurred to you the sky would never have fallen had CS not lied and covered things up and censored users over the issue in the first place? If they had immediately said, whoops, something is wrong, we need to fix it, all this dirt wouldn't be coming out now because it wouldn't EXIST.

.. I surely didn't say I had no problem?? o3o

I just meant I really wasn't sure about the Rainbow Mane being traced. Again, I must repeat myself. It was just a nicely angled rump ( my compliments to the photographer. xDD). And any galloping horse with the proper anatomy should have a nicely angled rump.

Ok, the others are traced. Yep I have a problem with that, just like everyone else.

And a question too... Really, if there was such a discovery, why didn't the Internet police or something storm this place 2 years ago, when it had been discovered?

[hojo]

I love the old lines. New horses are too boring.
And unicorns? There is an example of "stolen artwork" only for one unicorn, what about other unicorns?

"Internet police"... nope. Just one lone photographer that isn't searching for a kids adoptable site. It's very unlikely the photographer would ever find out until being contacted. But that doesn't give us a free pass to use their art, nor act like this isn't a big deal. But now the photographer has been contacted, so who knows how they'll act.

It's basically undeniable that the other unicorns are traced too, even if we don't have proof. Think about it: if she had the ability to freehand them, why would she trace the others?

CryptMorrisonTrancy- Sorry for being doubtful, but proof?
