are you serious?
 
okay well.
i was just over at another forum doing a check up on my topic.
its an art shop.
and for some ungodly reason
someone tries to claim im tracing artwork just becuase it looks
like the same style of kim possible and danny phantom and so fourth.

i was like WTF are you serious.

like omg that made me so mad.

im so against that why would i do it.
omg people online make me angry.

so people of Mene have you ever been accused of
something that you know you didn't do?

Ewy 05-18-2008 06:44 AM

O_O; Poor you! D:

Well, I haven't..... yet. ¬_¬

Everyone's bound to get accused of something they didn't do once. ><

disturbed66 05-18-2008 06:53 AM

*thinks* Umm not realy, i dont really show my art. But im sorry ><
U know why there blamiming you for tracing!
There just jealous!

Ewy 05-18-2008 06:58 AM

Yeah! I totally agree, they are just jealous. :x

Fullmetal Phantom 05-18-2008 06:59 AM

...Danny Phantom style.

I LOVE that show. Do you perhaps have an art shop here? X3

*ahem* That aside...ugh, I hate when people do that.

Back in my Neopets days, my account was frozen because I used a reference to draw a picture for the Beauty Contest. I did not trace, I did not recolor...I just used a reference, because it was three years ago when I royally sucked at drawing without them.

They said I had ripped and recolored it because I had a hard pixely lineart style and so did the piece I referenced.

It pissed me off. Veeery badly. >.<;

Ewy 05-18-2008 07:03 AM

^ Whoa, really?

Did you give an explanation to them? You COULD get unfrozen, but I guess since that's a long time ago... I don't know. :x

Tried explaining. They didn't believe me. Even though this was at the peak of my DP obsession and nearly everything I said was about my then crippling fear of the consequences of cheating...XD;; It was right after The Ultimate Enemy premiered, you see. >w>;

But yeah. I gave up on it. I don't really care for Neopets much anymore, anyway.

Nemui 05-18-2008 07:12 AM

Fullmetal Phantom: no i don't though but im open to commissions.
if you want anything or want to see examples you are more then welcome to
send a private message over.

yes i agree he is jealous.
but then again he is one of those users who likes to start problems XD
so maybe that is what he is trying to do.
if it gets worse im so reporting him for harassment.

it really does just drive me mad though.because i put a lot of time into what i do.
i sketch everything out and then i get them on the comp and then i work from there.
so if i trace anyhing its my own art XD

Ewy 05-18-2008 07:14 AM

Well, unless the artist forbids people to do so. O_O;

Gimme a link to your art shop? :x

Nemui 05-18-2008 07:21 AM

Ewy: are you talking to me? if so i dont have an art shop here.
and how can i be the artist saying no if its my art 0_o, i draw my own and then trace the lines in adobe to get
the bold black outlines..thats what i do.so its not even tracing,its darkening.

Ewy 05-18-2008 07:28 AM

Ah... nevermind. ><"
I'm getting confused lately and stressed over exams. :x

Nemui 05-18-2008 07:35 AM

ewy: nah its okay.
it happens i do it too. so no harm ^__^

Wordstreamer 05-18-2008 08:19 AM

XD That happens a lot. Mostly in fights with others, but occasionally just out of nowhere. Funny to think about in general--but always wicked annoying when it happens.

Mostly people make up things that I've allegedly said. I think, "That doesn't even SOUND like me; what're you on?" Such as, "You PROMISED you'd do this!"

...........

No, no, I didn't. Promises I take very seriously. I'd remember if I had made a promise, and I wouldn't make one that I thought I might not be able to keep. (My mother manages to turn me offhandedly saying that I might do something later into me promising to definitely do it. XP Tried pointing out the difference once.)

Earth_Dragon_Thoth 05-18-2008 07:24 PM

No. I have not. I haven't been online in quite a while either.
But that sucks.

antisnottist 05-18-2008 07:36 PM

Aw, that sucks!

umm... not that I can think of, but I'm sure I have.

For-Chan Cookie 05-18-2008 07:39 PM

I used to mod a mailing list and chatroom. I got accused of being a Nazi for not letting people do whatever the hell they wanted. -_-;;;

Obviously, I am not a Nazi. ;_;

Amo_Angelus 05-18-2008 08:32 PM

I got accused of tracing neopets art because I use the same style for my cute cartoon animals. Yeah... That made me pretty upset. I do what my art teacher said and break animals down into basic shaes and I have been drawing like that since I was five. And neopets has only been around since I was 13.

Sagitar 05-18-2008 08:40 PM

yes, I was accused of keeping items to me and trying to sell them overvalued.. because of something I said and they misunderstood it. :|
I was really overwhelmed by the accusation, I knew what I said and I thought it was pretty clear, but apparanently my english isn't that good after all.. >.> I mean, if someone misunderstands me THAT badly, I must suck at it...
I tried to correct her and told her that wasn't what I ment but she was all " oh I think it was pretty clear about what you said" and blah blah blah..

Cherish 05-18-2008 09:03 PM

That sucks.

In general, I feel that people online aren't worth getting too annoyed over, but someone making accusations like that could stop other people from buying your art, so you have reason to be mad.

OGODYES! That's so annoying!

I moderate on a forum that's based around the local music scene, so even though we have hundreds of members, most people know each other at least vaguely in real life, too.
So some of our rules have to be pretty strict (like with regards to threats of violence, because they could actually do it) and everytime I have to give anybody a ban for anything, there's always some of their real life best buds calling me a "nazi" or saying that I'm biased towards the users that I'm closer to in real life.

People on that forum do wind me up sometimes, because I know I'll have to deal with them in real life, too.

Hokuto 05-18-2008 09:37 PM

Hahah, that's silly. It's just a generic drawing style, you're not ripping anything off. It's no big deal, don't worry about it. People have accused me of tracing before too, just because of how I draw. I don't really care, I know what I can do so it doesn't matter. Besides, tracing drawings is actually good practice. Not that I do it, haha.

yes that as the first thing i thought of.it isa generic style so to say someone is tracing it is just wrong.my best friend who cant draw for her life [love her really i do] can pull that off [not that well but she knows the basics becuase it is so simple]
and yes tracing is a way to learn to draw.i did that when i was like 5 haha XD but i don't do it anymore i haven't done since.im a go and do it your self kinda girl XD

ya thats why i got angry.i was like dude are trying to scare my customers away!
becuase then i noticed he had an art shop and it was full of horrible sketches like he didn't care to even try and draw them XD
so maybe it was a tactic he was trying to use to scare my customers away.
and if so that is just sad.

but it got me so steamed that i told my boyfriend and you know what he said
"you know you should just ignore those people right?"
and that was it XD cuz it made total sense.
i hate it when he is right XD

Rainy 05-18-2008 10:33 PM

I get accused of being on the computer plenty of times>>from my parents.
From other people? I don't really know about that..

Kiriya 05-18-2008 11:11 PM

I agree with Disturbed66, they're just jealous (and if they can accuse you of tracing it, it must be a really good representation)

And yeah, I tend to get blamed a lot for doing stuff I didnt do. Such is the way of life with two siblings.... meh, in the end I just agree I did it and apologize. (even though sometimes I have NO clue whats going on).. gets me out of the situation quicker than if I argue -shrugg-

Kira Bella 05-18-2008 11:15 PM

I was accused of tracing and or copyiong Amy Brown's style of artwork. It really pissed me off.

The person said I was doing it for money, and I was doing remakes and pencil shadings of the art for a class I was taking at school. I would show them off online, and then get crit's.

Some people are just jealous. Don't worry about what they say.
