Generic Canine #2451
8 years ago
K so Im kind of done seeing random artists especially in this community accuse other artists of "tracing." Heres something yall need to get. References are a thing A, and B you are not the sole owner of a highly generic pose and an even more generic canine design. Someone is not "tracing" your work because they made a generic canine #2421 like you did in a similar pose. Get over yourselves.
I assumed everyone was aware of this, but if you draw a generic pose of a generic kemono chances are A BUNCH of people have also drawn a very similar pose of the same generic kemono. If you flip a canvas and things happen to line up somewhat, thats to be expected considering its A, a generic canine, and B a generic similar pose. A similar pose does not equal tracing.
Accusing artists of tracing or copying is extremely rude/basic EVEN WHEN ITS ACTUALLY TRUE. If someone is actually tracing just dont follow them. Ignore them. Dont recommend them to other people. Stop creating stupid immature drama because you have no self control or basic decency. Look at artists like spookydoo and kokuhane. Dozens of artists have emulated them and chosen to draw similarly. They dont go off on anyone or encourage that behavior and have massive followings. This is not complicated.
(before anyone accuses me of not being an artist and talking about tracing, I write, dance, paint, draw, and sing.)

FA+

But it is a really low way to go. Very very poor form and it just makes everything they make so dull and lifeless. The galleries lack personality. :o
