I WAS SUSPENDED FROM Y-GALLERY!!! *WEEP*
17 years ago
Only until January but still!!!! ;0;
I drew http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.....oseup_tiny.jpg that photo and the lineart I made from http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v.....JMS/close1.jpg that photo~
I wrote in the description "I confess! I traced the lines from a photo!" And I didn't think about the fact that it was a WAY stupid formulation of it and two; I was just about to submit a link to the photo in the description when the picture had been reported! w000! JOY! OR NOT!!! *PISSED*
I was COMMISSIONED to draw the picture that way! Make lines by "tracing" them from the photo (not that you can actually trace lineart that doesn't exist in a real face!) and then paint the picture to look as much like the photograph as possible, but at the same time it should be seen that it is in fact a CG-picture...
I waited for two days to either get the picture back into my gallery or for it to be removed and then I discovered... I HAD BEEN SUSPENDED!!! O______________________O Until 2009-01-01!!!!! Cause "Tracing art is NOT OK!" BUT!!! I DIDN'T TRACE ART!!! I made lineart from a photograph! I was commissioned to do that! And I have expressed permission from the photographer too, he's my boss!!! *WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
I send an e-mail to the staff and hopefully they'll lift the suspension or they'll like... Permanently ban me or something for talking back at them =w= Sure hope not! I wrote a VERY polite and nice mail *nods*
*SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHS*
So now I'll have to wait another couple of days or so to get a reply I suppose.... THIS SUCKS!!! *dies*

FA+

Had the reporting person waited with reporting and I had been able to upload the link to the photo, I wonder if the end result would've been the same =w=
Any type of tracing is a no-no on there.
Just send some admin a mail.
For example, it's silly that they've got categories for mythical creatures and robots and whatnot, but at the same time they have very strict rules about what these creatures ought to look like. A nose drawn in the wrong shape (in an otherwise perfectly humanoid body) has gotten people in trouble. That's insane. :|
But yah... The mods ban and punish FAR too quickly and they don't give people the chance to explain stuff XP
