I’m doing my own thing cruising through the forums when I noticed there’s a new submission to the banned players. Being nosey I check it out. Oh hey it’s someone I’m quite familiar with. Message them to find out what happened and wouldn’t you know?! They got banned for “Tracing and/or heavily referencing”!!

The “copied design” ? HORSE LEGS. 

Please, someone tell me how “horse legs” are something that can be copied when it’s a natural animal who regardless the breed of horse their legs are ALL THE SAME.

It’s like they’re actively trying to get rid of people. Please for the love of whatever if you have actual proof that horse legs can be “copied” please let me know? If I’m wrong I’ll happily calm down but this is ridiculously stupid. 

Here you go, I traced some horse legs for you so you could understand how you can “copy” horse legs.  Yes, all their legs are the same, but if you take “my” lines and put them on the images, they line up perfectly.  That’s tracing.  Even if I didn’t use the image to directly trace over it, if my image can line up perfectly or almost perfectly with the source, it is STILL not ok.  That is referencing something way too heavily and is still not allowed.

Here’s where I got those images, because sourcing is important:

Here’s some good pages about tracing vs copying vs referencing.

Even if you’re tracing to learn, you should either not share the image publicly, or if you do, you MUST show your source where you got the image, and you cannot use it for profit, as an example of your own art, etc.  

You also should not trace other people’s art because a) that’s gross if you don’t have permission, and b) if you do that to learn, you’re going to end up making the same anatomy mistakes as they do.

teachers, share the weird crap your kids have done!

I’m not a teacher (yet) but I do work with students and one of them had the nerve to look me dead in the eye and ask me “why would it be a bad idea for me to eat this entire marker?” They’re 11

An 4th grader asked for a high five by saying, “A little slappy to make daddy happy?”

I did not give him a high five.

A student during break had her head in her arms and was shaking a bit, so i asked the kid next to her whether she was laughing or crying and this 8 year old stared me in the eye deadpan and said “im crying on the inside”

Wait i take that back, I cant believe i forgot about the time i brought in a small stuffed octopus as a class mascot because why tf not. It was a class of high schoolers and i didnt imagine theyd actually care much, but one student snuck in a snack and gave it to the octopus as a tribute. Which led to other students doing the same thing, until every day there was a pile of of offerings to Fweej the Overseer, mostly consisting of things like string cheeses and small bags of chips, but sometimes there wouldd be a couple bucks in quarters, one kid brought in some giant pocky i think, and at one point there was a cold stone gift card. This stuffed octopus gained a cult following.

Later i brought in another stuffed octopus that looked exactly the same but bigger and told the class that Fweej the Overseer accepted their offerings and became stronger. These highschoolers lost their goddamn minds.

this is the most fucked up scenario that accurately depicts that movement of photons through space and time

Einstein would be so upset that you proved his theory in one moment, cause in his day it took fuckin months to setup an eclipse pic to prove relativity n you did it by accident, in ur living room. congrats.

What started off as a small lie, but snowballed into “this is my life now”?

My freshman year of college I was walking around campus when a very friendly looking girl waved at me. I’m awkward, so of course I waved back. The next week, the same thing.

This began the weirdest saga of my life.

For the next two years, we greeted each other as old friends every time we came across the other. She knew my name (somehow?), I never could figure hers out and it was WAY too late to ask. I just pretended I knew who she was and why she knew me.

Finally, I joined the honors program and entered my classes for my thesis. Who should be in this class but mystery girl! I was horrified. I wouldn’t be able to pass it off anymore.

First day of class we are all sitting there chatting and she greets me by name, again. I had finally learned her name from attendance, thank God. Someone asks, finally, “oh, so do you two know each other? Where’d you meet?”

Silence.

I stare at her. She stares at me. Finally she breaks down wailing. “I don’t know! I don’t know, okay, we’ve just been waving at each other for two years and it was too late to ask!”

Shes standing in my wedding next spring as one of my bridesmaids and very best friends.
