[Gimp] New Rule? Cropped Avatars? Joker?

[Azu]

But if you were to provide a link to the render, shouldn't you also provide a link to the C4D used, the brush used (if not made by you), and textures used? After all, they were also made by a person, and it might even have taken more work than rendering something.

Well, like I said to Draigo:

Also, I don't think that adding C4D, fractals, textures and, basically, everything used to create a tag would be bad, but as you can see some people are not willing to provide the basic things.

Thats because its not like old times, all people do is get stocks and crop them, which is why I don't even bother posting here anymore. I'm a gfx'er myself.

When I make Sigs I always provide my renders, sometimes the C4D's lol.

Since I joined this place I've seen several threads where people stated that they are sick of having only cropped avatars in GFX section on NB. And well, if people are really going to do that all the time they might as well post the original pictures. Because someone worked really hard for that piece of work.

Yes, well, I always provide at least render.
Because, basically, when you are posting original picture used you are not just giving credit to the artist but you are also showing how much you did. And that is, especially for beginners like I am, myself, very important, I think.

It's kinda been suggested before but i don't really see a point in having it as a rule. Sure it's nice to see what you've worked with and thus come to a conclusion if you're doing better for yourself or if you're still on the same level of GFX:ing. Unless you can see that from the work anyway as a skilled CnC:er. We've not had the rule of you must have to link the original work before and i don't really see the point of it having it as a rule anyway. The most skilled GFX:ers wants to show you what they've done from the original picture and thus always(well almost always) include the original work. The one's who just crops avatars are ashamed of themselves and thus doesn't include the pictures or just don't have the time in their busy work-schedule of spamming cropped avatarpacks for rep .

Nice new avatar you have btw, i wonder who made it :skorm:

Not sure if I posted it already, but are you and Skorm a thing?

Also, can I ask for the original stock of your current avatar and how you made it?

Is there a group of some sort where people can learn how to GFX from you? I'd join that group 10/10

Hold up, hold up.

Did you make Azu that ava? Master pls. I need you to teach me your Skorm-like skills

I did o-o.

It's simple i just use photoshop i guess >_>.

Couldn't quite understand what this means. Sorry. (I can usually handle grammar mistakes, but in this case, changing a word changes the sentence entirely.)

I mean if you look at my very recent avatar pack, it's nowhere near as Skormazing as yours.

 

[iNotorious]

It shouldn't be a rule, things should be the way it is right now and anyone can tell that the avatars that has been posted through 2013-2014 are cropped avatars.

You must be registered for see links

Copy the cropped avatar -> Paste it and see if it was a render or a indeed stock.

Does that still work if you change the name of the file though?

ionno. I made it from this.

Yeah that's what i kinda wanted to say. There's no point because you clearly can see if someone has put effort into it rather than just used a cropped stock.

Y u do this :T-T:
Looks like you just added a light source, sharpened it, added some adjustment layers, added the text.
I expected more from you, master :dead:

The point in having that rule, first of all, is giving credits to the person who made the original thing. Is it that just me or noone really cares about that when that thing should be the most important here.

And since a lot of people are complaining about this section which turned into section for 'cropping pictures', don't you think that applying this new rule would make those people think a bit before they start spamming this section with cropped shits?

About the avatar > my boyfriend made it. O_O

I know all of that but I somehow think that the rule would at least help that random cropping pictures is not all you can see when you go to this section.

 

[iNotorious]

Does that still work if you change the name of the file though?

Yeah the image won't be looking for the exact same name through the web. It's like using CTRL + F to find the exact same picture, stock or render through the whole internet.

Sorry for my bad English but i'm trying to say that names doesn't matter, it will look for the exact same picture in the internet, in different sizes, sites and or / with different effects on the render/stock.

ionno. I made it from this.

That's true. Whenever the person want to make an avatar, it comes to his/her decision if he wants to stay in the noob place (just cropping avatars and not trying to improve) or become better at it, gfx.

I actually tried to GFX but i did horrible so i quit.

I find render to be more fun to work with rather than stocks.

At the end of the day, we're all different.

It's really not something many wonder about who made the original i think when they're just looking for random avatars but usually when they ask they get the originals. No i see your point but i don't see it as a big issue.

Well they've complained about that for a while now while i have to remind myself and you for saying that Narutobase isn't a GFX forum, it's a manga forum. If enough people cared, things would have maybe been different. Alas the cropped avatar packs gets just as much attention as the one's that are professionally made.

Duh right? ;P

But how did i do the eyes and the lips huh? ;P

Possibly dodging and burning

Possibly dodging and burning

Dodge and burning doesn't make the eyes glow, they adjust lightning perhaps. So nope. As for going off-topic i am leaving this thread now to sleep.

Some people already argued about that and that's not going to change. I guess the myth is true.

''Some rules are meant to be broken''.

Well, ye, you're right, NB is not GFX forum, I get that and all. Everything should not be seen all that serious, but I'm seeing this from my perspective on University, really. Like, if someone took my paperwork I wrote and used it for his/her own paper not giving me credit for that I would be able to sue that person becuase that is, basically, stealing.

Tho, I do maybe take this too serious for this place, but still, I only see positive things coming from applying this rule.

Eh...
