i hate these kinds of projects actually thats why im doing it on my alt ough <//3 id rather other people dont engage with this we dont need to draw attention to it i also just wanna preface this by saying im not trying to be mean or rude or trying to start anything here, im just trying to give some evidence to why im something going on since previously i tried to be nice about it but was a bit too much of a pushover and didnt achieve anything <//3 this is definitely a bit of a hard subject to be nice about but. imtrying sobs the art and designs im comparing too are by @cjkb from this project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/408687818/ when i was younger, i used to base my art off other peoples too, it happens a lot i reckon, even just in small amounts that doesnt make it right though! especially if youre giving those designs to other people! i just feel its a bit unfair to others who are then going to put effort into entering only to find out the design they entered for might not be fully your own work if that makes sense? looking at other peoples art to help you with your own? fine! a little bit of tracing that goes unshared just so you can figure out proportions? okay! but i feel this is just a bit too far? sorry im bad at wording things i hate feeling like im being aggressive im not trying to be </3 but the point is that by using others art instead of just working on your own separately, youre kinda just damaging yourself? because you wont as easily improve your own work, and if people find out its gonna be hard to earn back their trust. in the long run its just not a very good option, so i feel at the moment an apology to all the people who entered the dta may be a good idea, but i jsut wanna clarify no hard feelings !! if this is where it ends then its not really a problem anymore! ill unshare this when we have reached an agreement since im not trying to start anything honestly i hate conflict im not thrilled with making this in the first place
