About My GMOD Pics and Requests ((IMPORTANT PLEASE READ)....
12 years ago
I like how everyone enjoys my Gmod pics and all but earlier today I receieved a Comment on one of my Pics that really made me think.
This is what it said.
"Hey, excuse me, did you make the model in this picture? Also did you make the backdrop? No? Oh well that's because this is GMod and what you're uploading is against FA's acceptable upload policy and you should stop.
I mean, if you were the original creator of this model then that'd be understandable (but still against the AUP since it's an in-game screenshot), but not only did you not make this model, but you've done all this in a map not made by you in a game also not made by you. The only thing you have truly done is manipulated stuff and then printscreened it. Submitting art here implies that you are the original creator of the work, or at least got permission from the original creators, which I can guarantee you didn't. There is hardly anything made by you in this picture, as well as other stuff you've uploaded.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to be creative and stop making inflation art or whatever, because as an artist I highly encourage people to be creative. If you want to do 3d stuff like the things you've been doing already, then try downloading blender or another similar program and start making some original models rather than manipulating existing ones. You seem to really enjoy the thought of producing your own content, so why don't you start producing it?
Basically, what I'm trying to say is stop posting shit made in gmod. :) "
He made a few points there...I don't know what to do. I like doing this but whats the point in making it if you didn't really make the material yourself?. I can make my own art but it's nothing stylish that can appeal to someone. I am officially at a crossroad here.... :(
I'm taking a break on doing Gmod stuff until I can decide what to do. I know you all like the stuff I do but I can't risk going against the rules of the site....I just need some time to think....

Either way you can go with whatever style you feel most comfortable with. Maybe with enough time to develope one or the other people will proabaly like your stuff more than the Gmod's.
