Description
Haha. I keep pictures like this lingering a junk heap folder in the event that I want to vent, but haven't had to chance to draw something. So this was drawn on Sept 3 07, with Lascaux Sketch. Just using this crap as an excuse for a vent here..
Man. I wish I didn't find out about the 'Today' page, so I don't find myself reading such blatant self-proclaimed acts of righteousness as [link] Honestly. I find myself hardly believing that she did this with the whole-hearted intention of doing GOOD. I'm actually kind of hoping it was a setup to get her friend (the accused) some pageviews cause seriously... that's so low.. to call people out like that. Then get your "admirers" to sick their deluded opinions on the victims. This kind of a thing unsettles me. I feel bad for ~True-Aerith ... though I do recognize that she may well have traced. And there's this huge taboo in the art community pertaining to tracers/tracing yadayada.. but honestly, people have got to start somewhere, and if they're not like profiting, or stealing "your" pageviews then why the hell do you have a problem with it...? Just let them be. Seriously. It wasn't even a good trace! In calling someone like that out, it seems (to me anyway) that they've nothing better to do, and just want to revel in their self-created glory of being correct.
People like that, with their disgustingly obnoxious self-righteousness.. I think are more "deserving" (haha not a good word for this) of the smear-campaign that is ED. But no, that'll never happen, since she's gained immunity from such a thing because ED doesn't seem to attack it's own (from what I've seen). As long as it's all for the lulz it's all good.
. HELL, any person who utilizes the new language that is the -chanspeak, seems immune, regardless of the fact that they may very well exemplify the attitudes they shun. 'nother thing... I don't see how -chanspeak is any better than 1337 speak. SO I HERD U LIEK MUDKIPZ LULZ. Wtf...Lmao.. as I type, there was someone who posted my sentiments exactly except in a more flamer-ish mode
. Well I certainly feel better now.tl;dr: there is no government, there's only hypocrisy!
And I got a t-shirt in the mail today yay!

I think I have to agree with you on this one. She was just using is as a refrence picture for a pose. It's not like she sat there and copied out every single detail. x.x I have to say that the journal entry is pretty low, and the use of some of those words just proves the lack of intelligence or imagination the woman has. If she can't find a better word t use then something like that.
I love this picture, she/he looks kind of sad though. o.o It works with the blues. You're pro at pulling the emotions in a picture out with the colours.

Calling someone out like that is just... I'm sure she could have settled this way more subtly. I mean, sure the gal traced, but really I don't think something lke that should be done, calling someone out, unless there's really no other choice. I mean, couldn't she just report the image to staff?
I can understand she's peeved and may not be using the best rationality, but still...

i like this picture. the expression, also.
about the other things, im trying to read through the comments but it really makes no sense. why shes freaking out and saying that she didn't ask anyone to go bother the person. tracing isn't right, however, there are tactful ways of mentioning it, or not mentioning it at all and just handling it yourself. Shes looking for problems and trying to stir up a mess and thats clear as day. its really irritating and immature on her part. its very unfortunate.

i just went back and looked at the layover. i'm actually disgusted because i was under the impression that it was her work stolen. Shes just starting crap.

Ugh. I agree with you--especially since they used inappropriate and derogatory terms I won't repeat, which are used only when intellect is being defensive. I'd like to see that DA user get their start without copying poses.
By the way; this is something that has always bugged me...what the hell IS a mudkip? People immediately assume I am literate in the sense of -chanspeak because I draw digitally/use DA. .__.

Wow, that's weird. I checked it out. Technically, she could have just copied it--that's not really tracing. But whatever.
Cool picture, very nice colors. Eyes kind of freak me out, along with the tattoo/line of blue going along her face. Her hair is very pretty shiny and smooth though.
Except that could be a guy. Hmm. Looks like could be one of your guys, but the eyelashes and really red lips are throwing me off. Are those gills on this neck? That would be sick.
I just realized the contrast between the sharpness of the eyelashes from the smoothness of the rest of the coloring. Did you just do this on a program or at a site?
