Description
Made byOk I may get a bunch of flames and bashing for posting this but its true.
I don't feel like doing art trades with people that don't have good art :/
I work my ass off for 3-4 hours on a picture that took someone else like 1 hour to finish.

These are a few examples of NON decent art I'm talking about.
I don't accept Bases as an art trade and I don't accept scribbles as an art trade :/ It's as simple as that. That's why I refuse to do art trades with certain people... As mean as it is that's how I feel. Sorry guys
PLEASE feel free to put your opinion in on this. I'd really like to hear what you think about this

You're not exactly the best either, it's hard to find your standard when it comes to trades. It is a bit jerkish.

I used to accept all kind of level before but I had to 'raise' the requirement because most people just want free art and they gave me some half-decent work, like stroke and stroke....... and done

I'd rather get "crappy" art trades than no art trades x_x. Too bad I get no art trades most of the time..

i have to agree for the most part *sigh* i dont really support bases since most the tiem they never ask to base the artwork anyway and a lot of people use ONLY bases...

i agree
i dont care about the time i only take 1-3 hours
but its if they tried that matters
so yes and no
if i know they tried their hardest i will
but if they use bases,
rush,
and dont try.
i wont do one.
;v; i usually accept to though //shot

that makes complete sense >.< i made that mistake and now i've decided only for people on a similar skill level

I don't mind skill, but if I put hours of work into a picture, it'd be nice to get a picture that had effort put into it return.

On my old account, I did an art trade with some one and it took me a day or two to sketch and then color it, and all they did was draw a damn stick figure!!! >

Figures the people raging about this all have shitty art.

So that's why no one wants an art trade with me

This is quite true.. harsh , but the truth can be at times.
I wouldn't want to do an art trade with some epicly awesome artist as much as it's... an honour.. I'd feel so ... small.
Unless of course, the person's cool with it.
Art trades are fun if both you and the other like each others art.
I've seen random people simply wanting to do art trades just to get free art.
That's not nice.
:<
Of course, "decent" can be in any way a person wishes to see it.
And about the time taken to finish art... well... I've seen really great artists spend a short amount of time but the outcome is godly. Blargh, although I understand why you used that as an example.
I too, never knew people would use bases to complete their part of the trade.
Pshh. Just realise that this stamp is 2 years old.
Wew.

Ok let me start off by saying that you are a fail because you do not think about how good a person is at drawing and you assume that they spent like 5 min on drawing, not everyone is as good as you so stop assuming that they don't spend time on it for instance look at my art, i take my time with it and some of it takes me around 1-3 hours and it is still quite bad art.
Never assume or it will make an ass out of you and me but in this case it is just you.

I find this more than a little offending, I think it perfectly portrays just how big of a d**chebag that you really are. I mean really. How can you define who worked hard on art and who didn't?
The simple and true answer is, you can't. Perhaps somebody had a bad day, or perhaps they just didn't do as well on a certain picture as another.
Seriously, rethink your post here.

Alrighty, well, I guess haters gonna hate... but I feel this is wrong.
Those two peices of art that you posted of "NON decent art" is pretty wrong. I can close to guarantee that those people you are talking about pour their heart and soul into their art, and they just don't have as much practice. Please, don't just assume people are scribbling down blobs when it isn't as vetran as your art.
You asked for opinions, so this is mine. It's not meant as a bash, it's meant as an 'as a new and unskilled artist, I find this a little offending.'

Gahwd I love this stamp!!! this is so true. It may sound rude, you're really right! I'm using this.

I can see people not wanting to do art trades with those who half-ass their "work" ...but I've also seen people be too high and mighty to straight out deny someone a trade because their work wasn't "at their level or higher" when the person asking wasn't at all bad at drawing...some people need to get off their high-horse, and give others a chance.
I've got shit like those examples before...or I haven't got their half of the trade at all, so now I hardly do trades unless they get their half done first.

I agree with this stamp. Though it may sound unfair to some people, I get what you mean by "decent" art.
I mean, I could understand if the artist's skill level isn't very high yet they put effort in their work but I totally hate it when I work my ass off for someone and get a simple doodle in return >_>
π: 0 β©: 0
Although I like doing art trades with people who are decent artists, usually I'll do a trade as long ass they put effort (you can tell).
Because if they put effort, they'll be a great artist some day, and then you can trade happily.

What I would judge as indecent art would be something that the person barely tired on, or it looks sloppy. I try not to judge on people's skill level, but the art does have to be decent to at least my standards. And those are not too high (I feel as if they are not). I've been in art trades were the people have bullshitted me for weeks and weeks saying they were going to complete their trade and never have, and I dont rush people either. But that's one of the reasons why I favor commissions over trades, becuase my rule is you have to pay me first. xD
π: 0 β©: 0
So that would be everyone? Everyone can draw, paint ,and whatever. But you can juge how there art look, They could love it or be improving, its not fair
π: 0 β©: 0
What I see as 'indecent' art, is basically when they don't put in effort. Some of these 'unskilled' artist honestly put effort in...their skills are simply lacking. No-effort people simply doodle a quickie and post it. I mean, they didn't even sketch, or even colored it. They just sat their asses down and doodled something quickly. :/

So you do art trades with everybody? Cause everybody has a different opinion as to what's "decent" art or not.
π: 0 β©: 0
A little rough don't ya think? -slapped-
but seriously, I think that's a little mean. Not everybody can start off drawing "decent"
yay,an opinion

Well, I think the presumption is if you're going to do art trades with someone like Genzoman or Teruchan then the idea is that you've built up your skills to show for it.
With all due respect, some people use art trades as a quick fix alternative to getting a commissions when really some of these kids couldn't even pull off an art trade with BrokenTeapot with their skills.
No one starts off drawing decent, that's why tells people to quit procrastinating and work on their art.
There's PLENTY of helpful books out there, Loomis is the most recommended.

O.O
I didn't know that people used BASES for trades. That's.... kinda stupid.

A based work is not an art trade. 
π: 0 β©: 0
this has happened to me too. ugh the pain and frustration knowing while the other user has a masterpiece, you get stuck with a sketch
π: 0 β©: 0
I support you.How art trade can come up good, when one of the artists doesnt have a good drawing?
π: 0 β©: 0
I agree with you there....
i do have people who did that...-__-; but thats why I have them do first XDD than I return the favor. Maybe you should try it too? Let the first person do the trade, and that person gave you a shitty art..you in return can give them back shitty art XDD;, its only fair...which in my opinion is >>
π: 0 β©: 0
I don't think you are being mean, I totally agree. Nobody asked me for an art trade yet, but I wouldn't want to do one if I don't like the other person's art. And, I'd never ask for an art trade to an artist who is better that me.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yes... I hate it too... >:C
Especially ones that don't take time!

Oh my science, thats funny. At first I agreed with your point in a very serious manner. It spoke to me, it made sense to me and I fully understood where this was coming from. And then I saw the examples, I nearly died. Wow that was terrible and funny. So you are my new hero and I salute you miss.

That's neat. If that's how you feel, well, there you go. It's nice to have that feeling in stamp form. It could've been a little more nicely-worded, but still.
As for me, I generally trade with anyone that wants to trade with me. Much, if not all, of the time, though, I'm usually the one asking.
I've gotten quite a bit of heat from that back in the day, because most of the people I ask (including friends) are much better than I am. That doesn't mean I don't try to put effort in my end, and it certainly doesn't me I'm not trying to improve my art. At the very least, it's fun to draw characters that aren't my own.

Instead of saying decent art I think the stamp would be ... a lot nicer.. if you like said something about doing art trades with people on the same skill level as you. Like along the lines of what said in a comment down there.
Cause' to me it just doesn't feel nice when somebody who loves drawing, but isn't that good gets told that they don't have good art.. its just a matter of time and practice and eventually they will get better if they try.
I do agree with the base thing though. Why should somebody spend their time to draw something for somebody, when all they are doing is taking a base a crappily putting some color on it. Unless its somebodies own base(that they created), and they are like master-pixel people who can make it look amazing I wouldn't accept a base either. I see that as slacking, and a way for somebody to get free art when all they have to do is spend 5 minutes on ms paint doing nothing.

I really don't like it when people want to do an art trade with me and are drawing bad art. I want to do art trades with people that are on my skill level.
π: 0 β©: 0
LOL! youΒ΄re right, i hate people that have NO talent goes and ask: wanna art trade?... of course not o_o! your pics sucks XD
π: 0 β©: 0
eherm....im sorry but hehe...whats an art trade?
π: 0 β©: 1
*random passerby* Basically exactly how it sounds; two artists draw a request for each other and trade. Usually one's meant to draw the other's character and vice-versa. ^^ It's pretty fun, you should rally some up :3

Thanks!! Yeah il try it out with my top notch artist friends.

Excellent stamp, and not at all unkind-- just frank, and I respect that. I don't exactly agree cos I really don't mind one way or another (besides I've rarely been asked to make a trade by someone careless and/or with no skills), however, I am annoyed when I come across someone who can barely draw yet gets countless people to trade with them and-- as if that weren't bad enough-- make a huge wall of thumbnails of all the good drawings other people made of their Mary Sue. I've even seen someone make a group/club just to submit all of the pictures people drew for them.
A weeee bit egotistical/obsessed, I think.
π: 0 β©: 0
I agree this stamp
I don't have good art but I put an effort into it not do bases or scribbles I try my best for my part it might take a month but still I don''t draw crap for an art trade thank you *DreaChu
π: 0 β©: 0
I SO agree! Base-users are just CHEATERS!
π: 0 β©: 0
Hmph! On my very first art trade (iscribble) the other person leaved me and wasn't even done with the sketching! And he/she asked me to draw a fat baby jumping in a pool of water >:I
Anyway! I agree

In my opinion, all artworks are beautiful no matter how long that a person has worked on it. Even if one person takes a long time to finish their half of an art trade, they shouldn't be upset at a picture that took someone else 1 hour or less to finish.
