bro why would anyone steal frog butt 😭

I used ai to create outfit inspos based on mixing a bunch of actual clothes off of pintrest in an ai engine

I have a question. GENIUENE QUESTION. I'm not too sure about the boundaries of art. Does that mean that every pixel coffee cup with a animal and pastel coloring would be a no-go? Cus u can only work this much with pixel so i was wondering, if they had changed the animal to another animal, but the coloring and shading stays the same its a NG? I get it if the shading and color palette is the same its a NG, but color wise theres only so much colors to go from especially colors formt he same family palette, in this case, pastel colors, so i was wondering how far would it then be considered NG and how much its not? Just the outline only is a NG? Kat says as long as they add a lil pizazz of their own style, its fine, but the person already changed the animal to a different one and its still NG? JUST LEGIT A CURIOUS QUESTION. I just want to understand the boundaries for art better as there seems to be so many of them.

Also, most Etsy sellers that sell emotes usually have a consistent style. Her “style” is all over the place.

Help, why do art thieves do the whole ass "I'll credit you, but just know I didn't know about your artwork when I made mine". I've had to deal with art/character thieves before, and they always say that for some reason?

So were just gonna ignore what you did to those poor vtubers?

Why are you even covering this if they are a minor. They need guidance, not to be "exposed"

OH MY GOD WE HAVE THE SAME NECKLACE!>w< (the longer sparkle one)

I was thinking the same thing at 14:50 lmao

Once a picture of my fursuit listing photo got turned into a pillow😍

I will be very honest; If the use of AI didn't make artists life more difficult in contests, studios, and in the ability of finding a proper job, I wouldn't have any issue with artists using AI as a tool. in fact, I don't think anyone would inside the community. Because there is a huge difference between, taking a already made AI picture and seeling as your own, and claiming you drew it, and an artists using a generated AI to reference/base for a picture. even if the generate image was heavily edited and painted over by the artist. even if is traced to begin to form a base. I don't think it should be an issue to use AI to help ideas flow, or to fill a gap on the things you have dificulty over. But unfortunately that is not the reality we live in right now Let's say you desperately want to make generic anime art, but you don't know how to do it yet. I don't think it would be an issue to use AI to start forming this artstyle, if using AI didn't cause more trouble to artists everywhere

why do people buy art when you can screenshot or take a pic...

this is gonna sound mean but shes 16 not 6, she knows damn well what shes doing and shes a compulsive liar and shes got a nasty habit of stealing. i refuse to excuse the behavior of a 16 year old that should know better.

Tbh the shading part is no problem because beginners who reference don’t know how to use more than one reference, and obviously the shading would match the original.

They couldve traced the AI art, checked over to make sure the lines worked, and coloured the base themselves, shading isnt that difficult, i was doing better shading than the bases when i was four. For the background, they could just grab a random sky pic, put it on a layer below all the colours and call it a day

I need so much help with my streaming journey u got my sub

about the emots i think it's fine. i mean you said it's fine as long as they add their own thing and they did "the hands, the ears are different, the high lights" and they are different animals they are not even a frog!

potato

I don’t think tracing art is bad AS LONG as you don’t try to pass it off as your own 😭 I think too many people forget this!

omgg my buff frog listing is on the explore page there hehehe. thanks for calling out artists tho! i think when first starting art its easy for that to happen but its important to call it out for learning better tbh

1:24 memuh

2:05 As an OSDD-1b system who has a queer platonic partner with DID and multiple friends who are also systems: that person claiming DID is a "rare disorder" clearly didn't do their research. DID/OSDD is more common than most people think and it sickens me that that person is spewing misinformation.

9:30 the video are edited for sure . Can not know how is done exactly yep

i saw her videos??

I hate to say this, but the teacup cats didn't seem traced bro. It's blurry, yes, but you can still see the shading is different even if they have the same general light source, and it's not just one or two pixels off. The C shape handle is nothing special and cats in cups in cutesy small pixel styles are nothing new. The ear shape is different and the lineart in the "original" has shading as well whereas the "copy" does not. Also the cat in the "copy" seems to have an extra line of shading around the cat where it meets with the cup like a sort of bounce light.

Also the character with the blue "toga" is pronounced New-ville-ette

imagine plagiarising someone who will without a doubt call you out publicly 🤣

I used to trace art as practice but I NEVER, EVER had posted it. Or claimed it as my original idea. (Just so you know, i no longer trace art. And only did it to practice.)

Age as an excuse goes out the window after the 1st time imo, especially when manipulation is involved.

Man i cant lie as someone who just managed to open commissions and has tried selling emotes and such before stuff like this ticks me off to no end. Like art theives keep making it so much harder for new artists to sell stuff!

"boy" and "girl" are words defined by age/adolescence. i.e. children "shota" & "loli" are tags are body types. i.e. petite. short. flat chested. I've never been a lolicon nor will I ever be a lolicon. Hell- I aint even attacking or defending anyone or anything. I'm simply explaining what a loli is to you, Kat. If ya wanna invest your time on a topic, you should do proper research or it might piss off a bunch of people for diving in on the topic, and not understanding it. I'll break it down. This whole "loli = underage or rather loli = pedo" is what I call a negative connotation at face value. Thats kind of where the whole, "you're projecting" thing comes into play cus lolis and mature content do not go hand n hand. ...Not only that, but Japan glorifies anime. Why is that important...? cus lolis are the literal staple or epitome of anime. Not hentai. Anime. So whenever anyone says loli = pedo, without realizing it, youre throwing shade at the entire Japanese/anime culture, and every anime fan surrounded within it by homogenizing the word "loli" to "pedo-shit." ...The moment you start trying to force the tag "loli" with counter points or arguments of irl nasty shit, or adult content, then the whole loli thing goes beyond its fandom. And when you start arguing semantics, morality, concepts, by trying to break down a persons psyche and all that will do is create bad animosity. Here are two exmaples of lolis... 1. Rebecca from Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a loli. 2. Kanna from Dragon Maid is a loli. One has the depiction of an adult character and the other has a depiction of a child-like character. That's literally the only time the concept of age will ever come into play. Liking an anime girl/loli character doesnt red flag "pedo" shit til you dabble in the adult content and get off on it. Specifically with things that would trigger ageplay shit. And THAT shit... THAT shit is weird af to me. However, liking or being a fan of loli characters doesnt make anyone a pedo nor is it even remotely a red flag. ...Not everything has to be sexual. And I definitely aint looking at a loli character and being like, "this turns me on sexually so much!" Like- That shit is unhinged af. 🚬

i know we are supposed to be talking about how bad it is to trace but GAWD DAMN that frog- (don't quote me on this 💀)

i am triggered by her saying she never watch narudo (naruto) nar-ru-to not narudo -.- and she call sasuke as suz-kay... -.-

the problem with ai art is sometimes i cant tell if it is ai art but sometimes it can be legit from an artist

Stealing from someone who will call you out is SO sad

thank you for bringing awareness to this! i was indeed a little frustrated because i was already upset and then they kept on denying it :') btw, there were even more artists they had stolen from but i contacted them about it aswell and i'm guessing they confronted the etsy seller about it because the seller had taken those listings down afterwards!

I only trace for practice, NEVER for money

Yk atp I don’t even feel bad for you considering everything recently “makes me uncomfortable” THEN DNI????? You don’t gotta be a crybaby and try to force them to take it down just because “wahhh wahhh its one pixel too similar to mine wahhhh”

I dont know whats the need to steal art & OCs from others. Everyone in the internet has eyes. Someone will notice

34:11 Okay, but I do add the shading to the sketch, just because I like seeing how everything works out before working onto color. I go sketch-color-lineart-render-shading But honestly, it's obvious that this is ai/traced art

good video, sorry this happened but maybe don’t show a tutorial on how to make it easier for people to trace pixel art 😢 as a pixel artist, people not knowing how to upres pixel art is one of the small/only protections against pixel art theft sadly

I feel like as far as the cats in a cup goes theres not a whole lot of ways to do that with pixel art.

I really REALLY hate it when people literally have no shame in stealing or tracing art. IIt pi**es me of so much that these people even go into the "I didn't do anything wrong, idk what youre talking about QwQ UwU :3" mode becvause its just some random as* guy with an anime girl picture. God i never imagined to gow up in a time, where people just trace shi* from each other and play victims because the internet is anoonymous and everyone can do what they want. Idk how it is in your country, but in mine (germany), you have to register your job/shop/brand and get a license to work that job, so the state can take taxes off your sellings. Idk about these peoples countries, but in mine, there could be EASILY coming a lawsuit against you if you get reportet for doing something against the law or sell stuff that you don't own the rights to and that can get REALLY expensive. But yeah, if you live in some dirthole that doesn't have any laws, you can trace and steal and copy however you like. Thats just really not fair men...

plot twist: tiktok has different habitats, just post your stuff and hope it goes to the right audience. if it doesnt, repost. and dont interact with weirdos on there. dont even like, favorite, or comment on their videos - if you do you will probably end up on the wrong side of tiktok. so build your fyp brick by brick

the characters arent from any anime (but its gonna become one), its from a vocaloid rhythm game

1:43 I'm not trying to defend this person, I don't know them, and I think it's good to remain skeptical, but if you open Photoshop, and set the brush blend mode to color dodge / dodge, you can achieve this effect. I use it to paint specific highlights and things with an intense glow if I'm not rendering a glow effect with layer styles. Just wanted to demystify what we're looking at, that on its own actually isn't anything concerning. I think it's good to remain skeptical, though, and I'll shut up and keep watching. ❤
