misterxman Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I'm tired of people stealing/ripping/copying my sigs, tired. It's sad toward the wannabe sig maker when people other than me recognize my own work that is being copied, I've had it with this 12 year old imature crap. Here is the proof I sucked at pixel sig making: There! I also didn't know how to make pixel sigs when I started! Now you know I was born the same way as you. I am not God, you are not my Followers. While it is flattering to see my work stolen/ripped/copied, it annoys me that there are people who are that desperate. You think I could see the future? You think I knew I would have a 40+ page shop? You think I knew wether I would ever improve? You think I knew if people would ever like my work? NO. I went in blind, things happened because people liked what I did. I just TRIED. I tried and thankfully succeeded. Life is all about TRYING. If you are too scared to try because you think you'll fail, then you already failed in life. Almost like a law of physics: there is the process that IF you really try hard and work hard, you WILL improve in anything. I worked hard to earn my pixel sig making skills, and am tired to see people just copying something they think they learned. You don't earn any skills by copying, all you do by copying is disrespect yourself by rather liking someone else's style over your own. If you don't like your own style, or if you don't have one (you should, look hard), then art isn't for you. If art isn't for you, give it up and try something else. There are a billion skills you can learn, and pixel sig making is just one of them. In that one skill, there are billion of styles, and mine is just one of them. I think the problem with wannabes is that they make something that the audience likes, rather than making something that the wannabes like themselves. I have a style I love, and apparently people like it too, which turned out profitable for me. If you like your own style, the chances are people will like it too, but only if you are 100% satisfied with your own style. Thanks for making me type all this. I hope this will stop all the ripping, not just from me, but from anyone else. X-man Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice_ring Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Well said, Ive only had one of my sigs ripped, and it made me really angry so i can just imagine what it must feel like for you to have it happen on a weekly, maybe daily basis.

eev Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 sad what some people stoop to. Once caught someone selling my sigs on RV, with some help :P and a couple other times saw people with my sigs... So I know how you feel. Why cant people just make their own sigs? Work for it themselves? You know you feel alot more satisfied when you do something yourself. Everyone has to start somewhere.. dont worry if you suck at first...

unknownmasterofnothing Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Yea its sad that it happens to you a lot. Pixel sigs are hard, it requires a lot of drawing skill. Taking something that someone has worked hard on is just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kielmccaul75 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Well, I can see where you are coming from, hell I even know someone who stole one of your sigs :-? But hey, I suppose when you do something you like, in anything, someone else likes it too. When someone else likes what you like theft is inevitable.

djscoobsta Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 i think its sad that ppl have to steal others work to get a good sig effect. minster, eev and a couiple other will remember my post Pixel help where i very kindly asked for help and they helped me. The sig still sucked but its practice and i found a new style sig (my terragens) is not a new style but not many ppl do it and its something different. Every sig maker started somewhere mix and co are very good but pm them and see how many hours they stick into there sigs and u will find out why....... Im srry ur so angry dude all the cheap ripers out there dont help ur business and i fully understand that but most ppl will prob still wanta order one.... u could only have 2 or 3 samples on shop and PM people there sigs so its harder for ppl to rip :cry: :cry: :cry: very sad for and sympofetic to mix and all this fellow sig makers. :cry: :cry: :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Heh, I remember those sigs when they were first posted. You were just another pixel sig maker wannabe (no offense). But unlike many others, you actually worked hard to develop your own style. Which, no offense again, I don't find that original, but was the first of it's kind here. So you do have a right to be mad when people copy it since it's sometimes obvious where their inspiration comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is worse than being ripped. You call me a liar and a desperate loser. You are being so narrow you only see one part of a huge thing. And again, you assume I'm boasting about my skills. I KNOW that there are gods in pixelation, I'm not a pixel fan. I'm just a guy who likes to draw, and uses paint as the closest tool to RL. It's just a hobbie, not an obsession. and I still stand by the thought that you created this thread for simpathy and more ' tip.it fame'. This is so much bull I can't stand it. I'll rip your house and make it exactly like mine see how much fame you'll want then. You think you know me better than I know myself, and call me a liar. Your problem is that you assume too much. That will bring you down in RL, immediately. Know someone before you start talking [cabbage] about them. Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
