Traced Bases Are Crap Stamp by ~angelishi:iconangelishi:

Artist's Comments

*in here the result is small, because the stamp is small, but it -mostly- refers to the huge traces.

The stamp says it all, traced bases are crap, horrible crap, that should be burned down to ashes.

Heck, they aren't even DOLL BASES.

[link] just didn't put the message bluntly enough.

BUT...
Since deviantART now agrees with tracing, we can't really get them out of here - what we CAN do is separate the BIG ONES from the dolling categories, because - at least to me, and I think to every serious doll maker, they aren't dolls, they're just like coloring books, they're SCENES, they're... I don't know... bases for something other than dolls.

So go here -> [link] <- maybe one day someone will pay attention to it - if it gets enough supportive comments I'll send the suggestion myself to the staff.

If we can't get rid of them completely, we can at least take them away from the doll base category and ease our eyes and maybe, MAYBE, regain the respect this community lost to the outside communities of dollers.

Disclaimer: if you are one of the people who make traced bases/traces anything and upload it to the internet, I have no respect for you - I'm sorry, but that is the way it is.
If you, however, keep those files to yourself for practice, then it is fine by me, anyone can choose how they want to learn.


Feel free to try and change my opinion - but I warn you, if you use stupid arguments I'll just laugh and toy with you - be civil and I might change my opinion about what you do ;).

I COMPLETELY AGREE.
I can understand using them as reference, but tracing them?! COME ON GUYS.

Yeep, thanks ! I had a hard time deciding what to use... I even had to trace that drawing because dA won't allow the use of images that don't belong to you... but it certainly allows tracing them ! :lol:

I totally agree.

Every piece of art should have something that sets it apart from the rest.

Me too, but if you can only color in coloring books, then it means you can't really do the lineart or come up with an idea yourself, doesn't it ? ^^
