Mhmm. Several people watched including myself. This was all a big “gimme attention” nonsense spat from the artist who has been complaining. Demanding proof of it not being traced as if onus probandi fell on the accused. Well that and it was just painfully obvious to begin with.
Such a silly nonsensical fit. Anyway back to heart attack mode because I still can’t handle all this floof.
I know the artist, he didn’t trace, but he can’t even explain himself on Derpi now because they locked the comments and the artist seems to have a fit.
@Тпсс_ @Anonymous #FF1C
always archive those kinds of blowouts (or rather, the responses) reee nobody stuck the thread on archive.is
The linked post merely said that ALR is DNPing doing art takedown on Derpi, nothing else.
Lines don’t match, framerate doesn’t match (unless 0.1 is strictly equal to 0.11 in your world), character doesn’t match, the ONLY similarity is the idea of “collared character holding their own leash in mouth while bouncing and switching between normal and bedroom eyes” and consequently pose.
Also typical “REEE I DO NOT HAVE PROOF BUT I WILL FOREVER BELIEVE IT’S A TRACE AND DEMAND YOU PROVE OTHERWISE”. Accusations with no proof are called slander, and demanding OTHERS to prove it’s not a trace is a fallacy called Burden of Proof (spoiler: it’s on the one making the claim, ALR in this case).
Also, this one is way better. Better focus on character face, no lens thing that is static right above the character hair, cel shading that helps the eye focus instead of super-diluted “realistic” gradient shading. The only thing the other wins out is ears, and even that’s solely because Gabby doesn’t have them.
@FlyingDrums
Yes, tracing (by objective defition, not offended-artist-trying-to-blatantly-manipulate-others definition) requires it to have matching or easily transformable features, such as lines and general shape. This isn’t a trace, this isn’t even a competition to the original pic due to implementation difference, this is a different spin on the same idea, and ideas cannot be owned.
@Deserter @FlyingDrums
Considering the pic this one references has watermarks slapped on it, it’s not just wanting attention, it’s also wanting control.
P.S. While it would be polite to point out that this image’s been inspired by/referenced off of in the first place, ALR’s blatantly slanderous attack makes it undesirable. Let the original be forgotten, eclipsed by this one.
P.P.S. Someone made a comparison https://u.smutty.horse/mbldugvzscc.PNG
@FlyingDrums
Clearly people ignore will ignore this and they’ll trace it anyways. Besides, other platforms will host the art regardless of such accusations.
But I don’t think that nottrevbe traced, maybe he did it from scratch or got inspired by it, unless there’s a proof about it.
@Тпсс_
I do know that the artist ALR just DNP his art almost a year ago. Hopefully it won’t escalate like that past experience that you mentioned.
@Deserter
Oh definitely. they even put “DO NOT TRACE” on their work. Like, duh. everyone knows you’re not supposed to trace other people’s art but do they really think that’s gonna stop someone?
seems like they want to play internet police and now theyre on a power trip
