WHAT CONSTITUTES ART THEFT

Tue Dec 15, 2009, 10:37 PM
Things that are considered art theft:

- Recolors of any artist's work, whether from Google, DA, or someone you know.

- Bases - which are pretty much traced, naked versions of existing artist's work.

- Copypasta from Google, Photobucket, or any other image site. (Meaning you saved the image off the site and posted it here as your own.)

- Renders.

- Original artist's work with your text/edits.

- Other artist's work, period. (This includes photos, drawings, writings, ideas, etc.)

- Traces, redraws, screencaps, etc. of another artist's work.

- A piece in which you took an artist's existing work or background and drew something of your own in it, unless you got written permission, in which case is called a "collab".

- Characters or stories taken from another artist/author. (See also Plagiarism. )

- Using/reposting stock images without permission/credit to the artist or photographer.

- Screencaps and scans from comic books/art books/any illustration book.

- Um... More will be added to this as I can think of them. If you know something that I neglected to mention, please, note me or comment me to let me know what you think should be considered art theft. I'll be glad to add it.

- Also, if you feel that you've been the victim of art theft, or have come across someone you suspect is stealing art, either let me know, so I can get help for you, or let the group know.

Some quick information:

- THIS IS NOT AN ART PROFILE. This is a profile dedicated to helping crush the minorities of fakes out there who have the balls to steal other artist's work and call it their own.

- My deviant status does not say "Antagonist" for no reason. If you don't like me, tough.

- The funniest thing is that people automatically assume that I am a self-hating, wrist cutting emo the second they read my name. What makes that funny is that the name is a joke.

- I'll be nice if you'll be smart.

- Learn how to spell if you're going to talk to me.

- Don't get me wrong, I do like comments. Just not if you're stupid.

- Random awesome comments are welcomed.

- I'm a fan of budding artists, and I won't make smack comments if you're trying to improve, but seriously, you have to actually be trying.

- ART THIEVES WILL !NOT! BE TOLERATED. I DO NOT support the use of "bases" (which is basically a nice way of saying that you stole an idea and made it naked for other lazy asses to pretend they can make art). I do not support re-colors. I do not support anyone who tries to pass off other people's work as their own. I WILL report you. I WILL call you out. You can cry if you want, it only makes it sweeter.

- Okay, quick pointer: I will not tell you if I'm being serious or not. The only way you can tell I'm not being hostile is the use of smilies. Learn it.

- Okay, that about covers it.

"<Twig> I just had an argument with a girl I know. She was saying how it's unfair that if a guy fucks a different girl every week, he's a legend, but if a girl fucks just two guys in a year, she's a slut. So in response I told her that if a key opens lots of locks, then it's a master key. But if a lock is opened by lots of keys, then it's a shitty lock. That shut her up."

(Holy mother of God I leave for a day and a half and I have a zillion messages...)
