jabraulter Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 recently i made a pixel signature for uber_n00b and N4K. i just want to come clean. i made a topic to rate the N4K's sig. The_Jeppoz mentioned that it could have been traced from an outside source. well the truth is, it was. i feel like i should be telling you all this so that i am not later accused of ripping (i dont know if it is). i fully understand if this changes your mind about the sig being "good". it was just the perfect pose and it came too easily to just trace it. so i did. i feel very bad, and thought that i should tell you. the ranging one for uber_n00b was also traced, but only the ranger. the background in both N4K's and uber_n00b's were both freehandly done by me. i think the only reason why i did this was my greedy craving for money and i wanted to prove to people that i COULD make pixel sigs. i only did it for the characters in the sigs though, nothing else. I want to especially apologize to N4K for being dishonest in his competition, and all of the other competitors who made him sigs. they deserve the money, not me. again, if this changes your mind about me, i will totally understand. it was wrong and dishonest of me to do it, and in the future i will refrain from doing so. Many apologies, Jab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4K Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Dam, This has made me so mad. I loved that sig so much. I really did love it. I recon if no one else would enter in my contest i would buy that i cant believe this. Why?, Because of greedeness?. Cmon man rs is just pixels too. Im soo disapointed im not sure if this is Ripping but it must be something like that. Did you trace both sigs, Because the 1st one is ''no where near as good as secand'' What am i going to do now?. It hasn't changed anything between Me not liking you or nothing. Well i didn't know you that well anyway. Im just real Mad now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quer_Skulll Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Dude i totally understand, but you should say it right away. and dont call it pixel art its not pixel art ... more like photoshop art, i mean its brushd/slightly burnd a piece of pixel art is an image created in a pixel by pixel speed.. i wish you the best of luck in the competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabraulter Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 i totally understand why you are angry. you have every right to be. i cheated in your competition and was dishonest. i am fully willing to give you the sig for free, if you even still want it. dont think of it as me trying to get you to "like me" again, but think of it as an apology for doing such a bad thing. i should never have taken advantage of you like that. i am truely sorry, and i hope you realize that i am.

jabraulter Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 it took me about 2 hours. i made everything except for the guy. i found a pic of him :oops: and traced around it in black, and the major folds in the shirt. then from there is was all me. i filled it in, created the shadows using the ones in the ORIGINAL pic of the guy. the grass, ocea, cliff, castle, everything else i did. all the coloring, shadowing, burning (thats how to make shadows in PS) was done by me. but it was still dishonest by me, and i should have to pay the consequences.

Nadril Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Wow man, it takes a lot of guts to do that. The fact that no1 was the slightly suspisous of you is what realy makes this just... wow. Very cool to see you owning up to this, and admiting your wrong. You probaly could've won that competion, got a lot of cash and everyone would be happy :), But you did the right choice man. And i realy envy yah for that, i know it would be hard as a sig maker to do that. ~Nadril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabraulter Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 It really wasnt a hard decision to make. it was wrong for me to do it in the first place, and i shouldnt be cheating people out of their money. there was no doubt in my mind that sooner or later someone would find out on their own, so i decided to come clean. cheating people out of their money is wrong and isnt fair, and i try and play by the rules. N4K has every right to be angry at me, and i fully understand why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venomai Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 You've got guts :D It still doesn't change the way I think of your art. Everybody traces something once in their lifetime, but their creativity and use of design doesn't decrease because of it. ;) Its good that you informed us of your actions though, since tip.it doesn't handle ripping lightly :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterxman Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 "Errare Humanum Est" I can see how the GP made you do that, and you can check Nadril's quote (lol I just saw that in his sig) which is quite true when it comes to greed in games in general. I'm sure if you had really thought about it before commiting the rip, you wouldn't have done it. :) You admited you made a mistake and owned up to it, which takes a lot. Glad to see you apologized and you deserve a second chance. :) While I have no respect for rippers, I have gained quite some more respect for you than what I had before I saw you ripped the work because of this. :) We all learn from our mistakes. As long as we don't forget them, they won't happen again. :) Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
