Nadril Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 "dude, it doesn't matter, he edited it up a bunch, and stuff" ---------------------------- (my reply) doesn't mean its right. here, let me give an example. i go and grab an image from alyn's deviantart page. I then proceed to use a lot of brushing "scanlines" and the whole works on it. Was it ripping? yes. Those images on gamewallpapers are actual people's artwork. You might not think of a video game or anime character as artwork, but it is. I'm trying to say, making your own images are so much more satisfying. Doing your own abstracts/landscapes/paintings/whatever yourself is a great reward. I'm not going to force anything on you, just trying to tell you what your doing is wrong, and although as a site we can't just ban anyone who uses these "renders" *cough*google pictures*cough* we can try and get them to stop. So, if you do like art, please don't rip, no matter how much you spiffed up an image. With that said... good luck on the sigs. I made this breif because frankly, i'm getting tired of arguing when its a lost cause... and ps, just because a lot do it, doesn't make it right. p.s.s: you like photomanipulating? http://www.sxc.hu/ go there. its a stock site. basicly artists put up their photos as stock. make sure you read their terms (ie if you need to link back to them/ask permision/ect.) but its 100% legal, and most often are a lot better looking than stuff off of gamewallpapers. think about what your doing.

Nadril Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 im not stealing it, im using it, if anything its a recognision to them because people think thier work is good and are willing to use it you put it in something that you made, without asking them. if i took a car, is it stealing it? acording to your logic, no.

terley Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 hey I recon it would be pretty cool if someone would mix pixel characters with other sigs, instead of all this ripping conflict.. maybe not even pixel characters you could even just make your own characters on photoshop or anythin, I swear Ive said this before but remember what mrxman did with his dinosaur pencil sketches.. you should try that, if you cant draw yourself maybe get someone who can? Taking the best of both types of sigs 8) .. I know Id be happy making a plain character that people can use for sigs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadril Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 ^^^ yes, that would be a good idea terly. Too bad so many people here are lazy as hell...some would just rather rip than do it themself :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if its anything like monopoly... and, in my opinion, images in abstract sigs do suck, well, not look that great. But to each his own. If you want an image in your sig, at least have the decenceny to either A. make it your self. B. get a stock photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just using it after all :? you people really dont understand copyrite laws... lets say i have a class lets say 'screen printing' (silk printing, fabric printing, in other words painting shirts/clothes) and i want to make a shirt with a 'nike' symbol on it. is that stealing? no its not, but if i take that shirt and go sell it, then it is infringing on 'nike's' coypright laws. in my eyes, posts complaining about 'rips' or 'steals' should be considered spam and dealt with accordinly (unless the person is breaking copyright laws, ie. selling a sig with ripped art in it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofduke Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 i dont see a problem with using ripped images, especially if they arent selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomai Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 By publishing 'ripped' artwork on the net and passing it off as "yours" without giving any credit whatsoever to the original author(s), you are breaking copyright laws. -- ON TOPIC: Filter piles (or anything with an obvious excess of filters) are bad! The background would look a lot better if it wasn't so monotone in colour and depth. Tweaking contrast, and fiddling with multiple color balance layers would be a good start! -- is that stealing? no its not, but if i take that shirt and go sell it, then it is infringing on 'nike's' coypright laws. Even if it didn't break any laws directly, the concept would have still been "stolen" from Nike. Not to mention, it's a shameful thing to do, even if it is legal. Also note, publishing ripped artwork over the net and making your personal t-shirt with a stolen logo are two very different matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
