 [01:45]  yeah but [01:45]  lmao that one was bollocks [01:45]  okaeri heshi [01:45]  literally had to combine several pictures [01:45]  but yeah like [01:45]  referencing [01:46]  is ideally looking at a lot of photos/references [01:46]  so u can get a better idea of how to draw something [01:46]  so artists reference all the time [01:46]  and that's not wrong [01:46]  tracing isn't bad either as long as you don't claim it's yours afterwards [01:46]  'cause it can be helpful to get shapes or whatever [01:47]  so like practicing, it's fine [01:47]  but tracing [01:47]  is directly copying [01:47] <Pandacath> the issue here is that 1) it looks traced and 2) they're making money off of it [01:47] <Pandacath> ye tracing is directly copyinh [01:47] <Pandacath> g [01:47] <Miiandering> doesn't nitro like [01:47] <Miiandering> buy the design from them [01:47] <Miiandering> or [01:47] <Pandacath> basically [01:47] <Pandacath> they buy the rights to the design [01:47] <Pandacath> so they can use it in their merch [01:47] <Miiandering> yeah [01:47] <Pandacath> and say it's theirs [01:47] <Miiandering> so it's a 1 time payment [01:47] <Pandacath> so they're making money off of the design [01:48] <Pandacath> ehh [01:48] <Pandacath> idk if the artists get royalties [01:48] <Miiandering> is it? [01:48] <Pandacath> probably not? [01:48] <Chuusagi> lol will nitro have to buy rights for all the traced stuff now [01:48] <Miiandering> because then some artists would be making more money than others [01:48] <Pandacath> well i mean mii [01:48] <Pandacath> that's exactly what happens [01:48] <Pandacath> w.... [01:48] <Miiandering> ye [01:48] <Chuusagi> ....w [01:48] <Miiandering> well, [01:48] <Pandacath> artists are usually underpaid too [01:48] <Pandacath> rip [01:48] <Miiandering> rip [01:48] <Miiandering> and now their reputation is ruined [01:49] <Dtx3D> ok to break up the tension w [01:49] <Dtx3D> what did I just watch [01:49] <Dtx3D> http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm26608597 [01:49] <Miiandering> namahone artist can never make a comback [01:49] <Miiandering> *comeback [01:49] <Pandacath> u mean [01:49] <Pandacath> yamato kashuu [01:49] <Pandacath> apparently they had already been accused of copying before...?
