Where'v you been?

Spending time with family, doing chores, etc.

You haven't had freetime on this site at all?

no.

aw

But I have it under control now.

Okay!

I'm not sure for how long, though, so I might be gone for a while then back consistently then gone for a while, as usual.

Whenever you have the time. I can easily wait.

Thank you.

I appreciate the drawing...but it seems all you've done is copy this drawing of mine: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19644482/ and add a heart :(

That is what I did. I tried getting every line, curve, color, shade, and camera angle right, all without tracing. I'm sorry if you're disappointed with the picture.

That is not an art trade...you've copied a piece of my work line for line, taken something I made myself and passed it off as your own work, saying it's part of an art trade. You're supposed to upload original art all the time unless you have permission from the original artist to repost their work, not just for art trades. And in that case, it is also not your own new adapted art style, as you've written. You've just tried to replicate mine...

Now just a minute. I did not say this was my art style. I was apologizing for it not looking like my current art-style, because admittedly--it isn't. However, you are right when you said that I tried to replicate your style and copy your work, which I didn't know was wrong so long as I gave credit.

I did read that art style part wrong, I do apologise for that.

Copying is a word that should never appear when it comes to art. Never copy. It's VERY wrong. Because you should NEVER post unoriginal content unless you have special permission from the artist that you've commissioned to repost it. Please take five minutes to learn the rules here about them, I don't want someone being duped again.

What this is is not an art trade, I'm just trying to help you. Copying a piece someone's already done is stealing, not an art trade.

I'll make sure never to post copied work again. I guess something I should ask now is what should I do differently for my art to appeal better to you?

You just shouldn't copy an existing piece is all. Just take the character and draw them in a different pose or in a different style or anything like that.

*assuming you have permission to use the character

Oh, another thing, which has nothing to do with your art style but rather how you upload your art, you should get a scanner app for your phone instead of just taking pictures. It'll come out less blurry that way. If you do that, though, only do the lines on paper, then color it once you have it on your computer.

I'm not exactly made of money. All I have is an MP3 player with a cruddy but functional camera. Not to mention I don't have a way to make any money, so I'm kind of stuck with what I have.
