Sorry, I can't help but comment on this. To everyone who just wants to post morphs, please disregard this.

Why do you guys do this? Post pics I mean. Then you get angry when a person is inspired by your work and aspires to not only replicate it but make it better?
First, and most prominent, stop bring up old drama. It's over and done with.

Seriously, why are you posting/sharing your work?
Are you challenging others to make better work? Is that it? If so, then you need to understand some people are going to be able to do a better job than you. You can't get angry when a person takes your concept and then makes it better or shows you what they would do to make it better in their opinion.
OR
Are you trying to encourage others to be inspired by the work you produce? If this is the case then no one in this forum should feel embarrassed. I don't get some of these comments at all.
If those are the only options we have, and we're dealing in absolutes, I'm sure most people would say "neither". We're here to have fun, show others our work, and get some praise and hopefully some tips to make it better (constructive criticism versus outright insulting). There is a hint of inspiration and desire to inspire to it, but in reality it's just something to have fun with. Out of all the characters I show, there are dozens that never make the cut. It's a proud moment to finish a design and show it to my friends on this thread. It makes me happy so I do it.

If I take a character in a super hero game and make him Green with Green colored energy attacks and call him "Jade Fist" then specifically state where I draw the inspiration from (Green Lantern) I would think the creator of Green Lantern would be thrilled that his ideas and vision inspired a person to replicate said character.
Unrealistic. There's a difference between painting a woman with black hair and cloning the Mona Lisa. In the case you discuss, it'd be as if you wrote a about a green character with green energy beams and called him "Green Latern".
Besides, you clearly stated above that we should be okay with outright copies (plagarism) just as we should be okay with inspiration (tributes).
And I'm pretty sure the creator would be pissed that youy copied him, as well as confused why people didn't realize it was an outright copy and hate it.

Do you think Cameron gets upset or happy when he sees Na'vi costumes at conventions?
Cameron is a megalomanic who took ten years to design a movie that is essentially "blue pocahantas" with guns. He probably does get pissed.

This is not meant to be a flame or troll post. I just want to see this thread return to its original purpose.
Then let it continue to do so and not reopen old wounds.
Sorry I like to argue, especially when the foundation is more unstable than a highrise after an earthquake.

Retour en haut
Don't get too many chances to create characters with the toolset.
