When we are making avatars most of the time we just simply take pictures from internet and crop them. Indeed, some people make a lot of effort to add different changes to the original picture but most of the time it is not like that. And even when it is like that I still think that we need to post the original picture or at least to post the name of the author of the original picture.

I know that some forums have this rule in GFX section which, basically, says that you need to post the original picture you used for your GFX work. It doesn't matter is that a cropped avatar or a tag really. But, I think this rule should be applied for cropped avatars, especially, because in some cases you don't change anything really.

And I think it's really important to give credit to the authors of these amazing artworks we use for creating again something new. So along with these new changes on NB I would like that Admins and Mods take in consideration this new rule for GFX section too. I hope that other members will agree about this with me.

So tell me what you think about this? Should we have this rule or not? :)

Wrong section for trying to implement a rule.



Post it there.

Good luck!
Umm... Since it contains a lot of avatars and a tag and is concerned with GFX section I thought I should post it here. But I guess you are right. Tnx. :)

Where are da DBZ pics?
There are not here, I guess. >_>

Love 'em, mind if I take a few?
Ofc, my dear. <3
Any thoughts about applying this new rule?

I don't see the point in giving credit to someone who is not even here Lol.......... whenever I post the avatars I make I'm always saying they're from stocks anyways. My main work is mainly from Manga pages. But Good luck.

Don't worry gurl DBZ is to damn godly for this forum to take. My avatar alone could crash this whole site. And don't Get me started on my profile it is by far the laggiest profile on the forum cause this place just can't take so much damn godliness in one place. You are doing Da forum a favor by not posting DBZ pics.

You should be saluted ma'am.

Lol But you are aware that by doing this you are stealing someone else work?
And if you are saying that your avatars are from stock anyways why is so hard to post the original picture with your work too? I just don't get that.

Are those avatars examples of cropped stocks? Cause you make good points
They are. U_U

Ofc I do.
I needed 3 minutes to make them and that's what people here are doing everyday and they can't even give the link to the original picture and give the credit to the artist.

I do this all the time.
Good. :)

I don't like wasting my space on the stocks, whenever I'm done with them I delete them, simple as that breh.

I just think it's a lot of work. I have to upload like 20 images now (instead of 10), which I each have to manually find and click which takes like 10 seconds. I don't mind giving credit to the artist. I'm just really lazy.

What if someone would take your work, cropped it and put it on another forum without giving link to the work you created? How would you feel about that?

Oh, come on... If you are lazy to give goddamn link to the picture you use for spending hours and hours to make a tag then how do you make that tag in the first place?

I'm the type of person that would spend hours on a tag, but wouldn't take ten seconds to link to an artist. XD

Like I said, I don't mind if that became a rule. I'm just really lazy and don't do so. (I also get my stocks from Pixiv, and it's in Japanese so I don't really know what linking people there will do. I can't even read what's on there. I just look at pictures.)

The tag isn't cropped, its just a render. o_O
Well, focal point in the tag is usually the render so providing the render used in the work is kind of usual thing you would do.

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.

OK. O_O

So link them page where you are looking at pictures. I mean, that's what I did in my post above.

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.

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.
