please click the flag! - i tried to bleep out the swearing in the song but i think i missed some parts xd if you really aren't comfortable with swearing please edit the sound code in the project before starting!! -
now, before yall start harassing me and saying that 'i'm a horrible and rude person' for confronting them about tracing. and that 'im lying'. i have taken the time to prove that i am correct and it really doesn't help when everyone starts commenting those things. You might be thinking, 'i'm not being rude- you're the one being rude because you're posting comments and projects about it' which i totally understand!! my comments were not very polite but i was just going straight to the point! i understand the hurt i might have caused and i sincerely apologise for that! but, this is a pretty serious situation ^^ i would just like to mention that i do not think tracing is wrong!! some might be surprised by this but it's the truth c: there is nothing wrong with tracing (especially if it's to help you learn!! ) the only problem i have with this method of drawing is when 1. the artists doesn't give credit to the original piece 2. the original artist hasn't been asked before hand or has explicitly said that they don't want their art being traced 3. the art is sold of as their own (this is illegal by the way) I, in fact, have traced before!! i had to trace an image of myself for my art class to create a self portrait!! i've also traced to help myself improve my artistic skills and abilities! i have managed to improve so much just because i traced over a piece of art :> /but/ the important thing about this is, I didn't post it online!!! when i did trace, it was for my own benefit and i was going to share it with others through social media - edit - but I unfortunately broke that rule a few months ago,, so umm yeah see my comment chain with @bakingsquad :) @-winter-mist- didn't publicly state that they had included their reference/ had referenced at first (they then added a note in the description saying they had after i confronted them) and because of their past in tracing (deleting my comments, lying and just not being very respectful about it) i was a little worried that the piece had been traced. i commented multiple times letting users know (who had interacted with the project) that was a tracer (and might still be) i /never/ stated that they had traced in their featured project. not many people seemed to understand this, and just assumed that i was saying that 'they had traced' in that specific project which made many people spread hate and disrespectful comments about me! let's move on - 'sorry, i'm not in the mood to chat, and are saying that i haven't included my ref, is a tracer, and even personally telling scratchers that i am a tracer - please keep in mind that none of these are true. thank you!' 1. me and are the same person (just different accounts!) 2. you didn't say that you referenced until two or so days ago (the project has been up for 5 days now) which is why i was even more upset 3. i didn't want to spam you comment section so i went onto user's profiles to privatly tell people that was a tracer (but might not be at the moment though) and incase they wanted to do something about this- they could. 4. well, they are both are actually true. you /used/ to trace (and might still do) and you didn't actually tell anyone about your reference until a few days ago. Your sister told me that you did include the reference - which am not doubting is true! BUT you never included anything in your description about it. if you expect someone to go inside your project just to see if you referenced you need to change the way you write your descriptions. now, onto the content of this project. As you can see, i have included your () 's art and the reference! i set the 'ghost' effect to 20 and you can clearly see that they sit right on top of each other! I am in now way saying that you traced this as you have stated that you were only referencing *but* doesn't this seem a little too close for comfort? some of the lines are pretty close-- i could be wrong!! and you are just incredible at drawing from eye ^^ If i have upset anyone by commenting, talking or just being around the community please let me know so i can privately apologise. I would like to finish up by saying, please, scratch community, don't be as gullible. this situation would have never happened if someone had believed my in the very beginning (when i confronted them about tracing in their first projects) you can't trust everything you see on the internet!!! for all you know, they could be a random 10 year old who loves fame and steals other people's games so they can boast about their follower count to their friends. thanks for reading, i hope you can understand. :'>
