In the graphics community, that is what's called ripping.
If I find anyone building on already completed signatures/graphics without permission from from the original artist, there will not only be disqualification from whatever contest you entered it, but additional consequences as well.
Reminds me that we need to put up a rule about ripping. Ripping = trouble, and we don't want it. The last thing I want is some little faggot crying about his pictures being built upon instead of calmly approaching a staff member via PM.
There's a fine line between using a stock and a complete graphic, though.

Look at this realistically for a second. We all "use a pre-made graphic and touch it up a bit." Did you make that anime character in your sig? I doubt it. Did I make that image of Meta Knight in my sig? No, I took it off a wiki. How many of us create our own C4Ds and brushes instead of just browsing DeviantArt? Not many, I'm willing to bet.
|
Let me clear that up.
By a premade graphic, I don't mean a plain stock, or a C4D. I mean something that has been already made into a wallpaper/sig/avatar. For example; you take something that has been made into a wallpaper, and then manipulate the colors, add effects/C4Ds, and text. You've done a good amount of things to it, but the foundation is someone else's work. |

Ah, okay, I get what you mean now  In that case, I suppose it's a very fine line. Claiming something like that as my own obviously would be theft, but it also presents the situation of "I really liked this piece, I wanted to see what else could be done with it" for the fun of it. It's really quite iffy  |

Right, I have no idea what to do for SOTW 52. I honestly don't. I don't want to do Freestyle for awhile, since we've had a lot of those, and it's not challenging enough. So I'm open to suggestions, for both SOTW and AOTW.

Yeah I forgot about AOTW 4, I have no idea what to make the theme for that...
Bleh, I'm just going to make it the same as SOTW.
