I knew this topic was going to blow up. It added to the tension I had pressing the “Add Reply” button.
Ok, Flossy, Get this: You took a picture already made and recolored it. You didn’t put your own spin on it either (As my teacher used to say, "You can copy another’s work, but only if it is inherently unique in it’s own way.) You didn’t say you traced/copied it. Because of this, it makes everyone think that you tried to fool them into thinking that it was “100% yours, custom made badness” when it clearly was not. I don’t know if you meant no harm or were actually trying to fool us, but regardless of which choice the truth is: You don’t go into an online forum and think everyone will be oblivious. We’re not stupid. People online WILL spot your inacuracies, fraud, and talent and WILL go after you in the appropriate way (sort of like driving >_>). Again, I don’t know what really happened, so:
In the case that you are inocent, I’m sorry it happened this way, but you have to admit that you didn’t say you traced/copied it.
In the case that you are guilty, I believe you have to learn that people don’t take shit. If you try to lie to real people about things which have some matter of importance (in this case, a skill which will gain you respect here in this forum), and you are discovered (most of the time you will be) then you WILL be penalized for it because what you did was blatantly wrong.
And by the way, I’m not going to “apologize” for pointing that copy out, regardless of whether you’re innocent or not. Why? Because I did nothing wrong.
And Redhalberd, I beleive you were too agressive in your “point-making”. By calling someone a failure, you are claiming that they can do nothing right and are essentially the scum of humanity. Until he is proven guilty, you CANNOT approach someone with a comment like that. That goes for the rest of you who acted too “extreme”. I may have proven that it was a copy, but I did not prove whether or not he was guilty of knowing he commited this crime.
I going to stick out of the argument, and give credit to the person who created the image ok, Troid92 is right tring to get someones attention with BOLD letters is really annoing and saying (“DAZZY WHERE R U COME LOCK THIS”) is a command, I think you need to stop giving an Admin a command like that, He in control of the forum (refering to Daz and the others). Don’t worry Daz will come sometime and lock this.
Note: not trying to start a flame war, spaming.
Flossy make some sprite or something and make it look good ok.
That’s not really a crime. The only thing you did wrong was not say that the original drawing wasn’t yours, which led to a lot of confusion. But thanks for apologizing.
Anyway…
And please, nobody apologize for apologizing way too much or anything else that will continue this on further. Just get back on topic now and forget this ever happened, okay?
Okay, srry about calling you a failure, and yes, we need to stop acting like daz is the grim reaper. But yes, do some original work, we’d all love to see it.
um…not getting involved…i for one say we drop the entire thing…or lock the topic and let flossy create a totally new one stating that he was making a picture simply look better.
Thanks, Inspector88, I was just about to say the same thing Yeah, you’re just trying to ruin my reputation when I did nothing wrong. Your hurting your own now.
And by the way, if you actually had some idea as to what you were insinuating, you would notice that the picture I used is on the first page of Google image search for Death Star 2. I’m not so stupid as to call that mine when it’s so blatantly out in the open.
What? No no no, why do people always misunderstand? I take it you thought I made it 3D because Inspector said rendered. I should have pointed out that my post says I did a “rendition”. It’s a black and white pencil drawing of that picture used as a reference.
