Dude, he isn't acting like a child. Don't be rude. Why are you defending this person so much? This is basically tracing.

Because they trace too :/

Oh my god! Hahahahahaha! That's rich. I just laughed so hard at that..

:nod: Pretty much invalidates every argument they've tried to make about their "opinion" because it's actually just defense and guilt.

I checked out their gallery. Where'd you get that they trace?

Rofl alot of it. This was the one I checked though, but I saw at least a few others;

100% traced.

Hahahaha. Okay, thanks for the proof. I was a little skeptical, but looking again, you are right.

maybe you don't notice how rude he replied to me when i was being polite
i am defending this person because i don't think people should rage and throw shit when this person isn't doing anything against the dA policy except the fact that this deviation is misplaced and should be in the fanart category and should credit the original artist with a link to the original drawing.
But what everyone here doesn't seem to understand is that tracing is accepted on dA, and yes what this deviant did IS tracing.

Recheck the dA policies. Tracing isn't permitted, friend. And I can't really control everyone freaking out. However, I am going to stand up for what's right and call out art thieves and tracers.

read this article [link] dA is very clear that tracing is allwed, to quote them 'has a place in our community' :)
but yea, why read the dA rules when you can go and "stand up" for something that isn't breaking any rules :sarcasm:

Go to "what is copyright infringement". [link] One media to another. Digital to pencil. If that even is what this is.

i see you haven't read what i sent you, well then if you think you're right then go ahead and report his deviation until your finger hurts from clicking and see if dA will take any action :)
if you're righ they'll take i down immediately, if i'm right they'll leave it there

Or the staff doesn't really care because hundreds of devinations are submitted daily and they don't have time for that.

i always had my notes to the helpdesk be answered within two days and i have never seen an artwork not be taken down when the original artists reported it. They do have plenty of time.
But i have seen countless thieves reposting pixiv artworks and because the original artist didn't report they just stayed on the site no matter how many deviants reported.
But yea, believe what you will :/
