Description
...Seriously Now.One day you're surfing Youtube/Photobucket/Deviantart.
You suddenly come across a picture titled something like "My OC".
For some reason, the artwork looks familiar.
That's when you realize...
It's YOURS... or your friend's.... or someone you watch's artwork blatantly RECOLORED and stamped as an "ORIGINAL OC! DO NUT STEALLZZZZ!!!!1111" or "MAI ARTWROK! I MDAE ET, DUE NUT STEEL!!"
... It's beyond me as to why someone would be as STUPID as to steal someone's artwork, and not only RECOLOR IT, but also post it on the same site as the person who created it. Or Alternatively, publicly posting it on Youtube and Photobucket and claiming it.
Listen. I DO NOT CARE HOW GOOD YOU ARE AT TRACING/RECOLORING.
Unless the Artist gave you permission you DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to do this to someone's artwork.
(Recoloring ANYTHING that's not your own artwork in general is just... stupid.)
I mainly write this on behalf of deviant ~Aamypink , who's artwork is stolen on a regular basis by Sonic Recolor Fantards.
Simply because "I found it on google!" or "I thought it was a screenshot!" (as if that makes it any better.)
It must be a bittersweet feeling knowing that your artwork is so good that someone thought it was a screenshot... then stole it and recolored it into "AWESOME CHARACTER! DO NOT STEAL!"
You'll even find them on Youtube videos (Mainly by someone in particular who likes to recolor Sonic and Amy into "Kirlia", among others...) by users who hate "flamers" and hide any comment that says, "Hey! Why'd you steal my/my friend's artwork?!"
... I wish some n00bs would just learn their lessons faster and not recolor.

I agree. If I find out people have recoloured my "Islington Eight" characters and claim them as their own I would be livid. But I feel sorry for the talented artists who had their work recoloured.Β

Recoloring is for lazy ass pussies who can't do they're own artwork.

Well said in this stamp I only look at other artwork or whatever only as a reference so I can draw on my own -__- it bugs me seeing recolors and claiming to be an OC especially in the Sonic fandom. I'm aware of Kirlia (mostly from sprite videos) and good Lord all I see is a green Sonic (or Amy sprite) with red ears and eyelashes. Recolors aren't original

OMG, I agree with this rant and I will admit I use to recolor back when I was N00B on the internet then I learn that recoloring is wrong (I can understand Sonic X pics, but DA... WTF! D: ) but I think someday, these kids on the internet will learn that it isn't there artwork and try to draw and stuff. o3o

do I count as an art thief cuz I traced over and recolored some Skull Kid pictures

silvermewtwo In reply to Gummie-Alien [2011-06-13 01:53:33 +0000 UTC]
Actually, yes. That does count as art theft. I suggest you take it down now (if you posted it) and NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN. Recolors and tracing is theft, and is also illegal and can land you behind bars.

I don't do it anymore, but I only did it cuz somehow Skull Kids are the only thing I can't draw. >_<; Wasn't trying to steal...nor did I claim the original pics as my own...

Well said Tara~! XD
What ticks me off is recolorers fail to realize that recolor is the same thing as art theft.

Fucking art thieves. Anyone who steals my character art and does recolors on it, especially if its one of MY OCs, will DIE.

You should see the recolor abuse Aamypink has suffered... It's terrible <=(

Hallu-Positronium In reply to Nijihamu-can [2010-09-22 23:52:20 +0000 UTC]
And to think I used to do recolors until I learned it was wrong... *shudders*

Same here.
Luckily I got the sense beaten into mean, and since regret doing so.
