Answer 25

So Dobby, if these are your drawings, then why are the cats a render of a photo with a pencil effect and the others come from different artists and art sites?

Oops...

Answer 26

oooo busted :o

Answer 27

o_O

Answer 28

Doh! You beat me to the punch @e.mccormick. The first posted image was a dead give away, but tineye is blocked at work so I couldn't cross check the other images, but I did feel the manure piling up.

@Dobby1 Look man. First, if you want to BS someone about your mad artistic skills, at least learn Photoshop, or GIMP, or whatever, and do it decently. Learn to use filters and layers to make your photo at least look like a realistic sketch. Your "drawing" of your cats, is not even close to being passable as a sketch or pencil drawing. You can't just apply a "pencil" filter, or whatever it was you used and call it good. Look at the attachment i attached to this message. It's a "sketch" I did of my daughter. I only spent about 15 minutes on it so it's not great, but I'll tell you, if I were trying to pass it off as a real sketch, I'd probably make it much farther than what you have posted, and technically what I did took more artistic skill than what you have there. I used 5 different filters, 3 which were custom set by me, and 8 layers with various modes and opacity levels set. I could spend another hour on this and and have what would pretty much be indistinguishable from a professional portrait artist.

Second, NEVER EVER take images from the Internet and call them your own. For one, it is very simple, as @e.mccormick pointed out, to track these images down. And more importantly, you are plagiarizing someone else and that person would be well within their rights to sue you for copyright infringement. Just a word of warning. Were you to do this for an art class in school or something, you would likely be expelled.

Answer 29

Looks like I called it.. XD Wow

Answer 30

LOL! You sure did @KikyoTheHedgehog
I had to scroll back up to see what you said.

Answer 31

yes those are on those sites but I drew them through the sites and I do not appreciate you guys saying I am plagiarazing so dont give me that BS

Answer 32

if someone is going to post it online it is not plagarizing to draw it your self

Answer 33

and the one of my cats is not what you say I actually drew them so I dont get your guys's deal trying to say I am a fraud if there is one thing I am as an artist it is not a fraud so just shut up and dont post something if you are going to insult my work

Answer 34

Just look over them at the end of the day u knew the truth

Answer 35

know*

Answer 36

Very good drawings!

though i have to admit the first one almost looks like an application did it! Birds are very good. Keep it up

Answer 37

thx that is very kind I am glad some people believe i actually drew them

Answer 38

Uh huh... yaaaaah... Well, since they are signed by different artists, it is amazing how your name changes too.

Answer 39

lol Dobby... why would you want to do that? Everyone can see you didn't draw it. Maybe it was for joke? :/

Answer 40

And FYI @e.mccormick I used GIMP to help me on the eagle and hawk

Answer 41

I am sure you would know alot about that wouldn't you

Answer 42

so I do not appreciate you insulting me

Answer 43

@e.mccormick I thought we were friends i guess not

Answer 44

I want one reason why you had to try to turn everyone who sees this question against me huh @e.mccormick

Answer 45

what do you want @linda3

Answer 46

...

Answer 47

u mentioned my name but i think u deleted it ....but i'll leave now

Answer 48

I am sorry if I am a little judgmental but all you have done is insult my work

Answer 49

I just want to know why you could not just say something that is not insulting

Answer 50

I'm sorry but it was because I can't give you credit for work that isn't yours :( but what I can give you credit for is you did a really good job on the cat picture making it look like a sketch :-) It was cool.

So, lets see the originals in a zoomed out shot, on the same desk, not tweaked by a picture editor... or realize that by claiming they are your procures you risk running into problems with the site's management.

Being friendly with any user has nothing to do with how I have agreed to follow any uphold the rules of the site.

Answer 52

:-)

Answer 53

again I used gimp for some of the ones I drew yes they were on the sites and I probably should have paid more attention to the CoC but I did not think it was against the rules to draw something that was on a site then post is and you are right I should have said I found them on another site but I was not thinking about that and I am sorry

Answer 54

do you understand @e.mccormick I never meant to break the rules

Answer 55

look I will even delete them if you would like

Answer 56

I know I had not thought of it I never meant to break the rules I was just posting pictures I had made yes I used a program for some but I did make them I just forgot to give the original artist credit

Answer 57

i am going to take my picture down now before anyone steals it :P I didn't put a signature on it lol

Answer 58

lol

Answer 59

Answer 65

Answer 68

15 but I am graduating next year if that counts.

Answer 69

lol ask your parents first before buying anything offline from someone. (I'm not saying that your too young, it's just that I could get sued for selling things to minors.)

Answer 70

Answer 79

do you think you would be able to send me a pic of the tiger through email when you are doing giveaways?

Answer 80

you still there?

Answer 81

i seriously love @e.mccormick

This honestly makes me really sad though :( I really thought you were being honest when you shared your "drawings" with me, Dobby..... I have never witnessed someone steal another persons art online.. and now I feel very very uncomfortable with sharing my own art online now. So thanks Dobby for helping me see how real plagiarism is.

I dont doubt that you are an artist.. I just would hope you'd be honest next time.
