Not really elite :P

But here a are a few I have done this week.

Like the last one. But there not realy awsome work on your textures.

moved to sig forums, hoped u would know that after 55 posts :\

Sorry, I honestly hadn't even been in the art forums until I saw people posting links in IRC.

Now I know about this subforum...

lol you got that picture from a template...a dbz template from a website and i downloaded the teemplate and it is the same one..... isnt that ripping?


http://www.proeffect.com/templates/main.php?id=anime

the link above is the place where you cna downlaod that template and where he ripped (or so i say) it from..... the template is the first one down just downlaod it or preview it (if u can)

lol *cough*busted*cough* :S
:\ dont rip from other people, its not very nice

and u used the background poorly...not looking good for you bro

what does the admins say about this?

banning, but hes a modeator... lol this will be interesting.

Ripping?

DBZ are all public domain I thought?

but it still seems kinda lame, taking someones work and putting your words all over it, without even giving credits

I honestly thought that all dbz stuff was public domain.
Sorry, I'll remove that one and delete it.

The others are dbz stuff too, are they considered ripping?

Its funny how people always say rip... but everyone around here uses anime sigs... like me
How come Im not getting accussed of ripping Gundam characters? >.<

The one your currently using is nice... I like it more than the first one

actually you obviously can use anime pictures but not really background which was not completelyamde from you but yes ripping but i dont know what to say about this..

Using DBZ stuff isn't ripping, a artist should know that.
Unless if they know "NOTHING" about DBZ.

It is ripping if you steal official art from someone else, for example:
If I see something original, not belonging to a show or anything. Just something new from scratch and I take the picture or manipulate the picture with Photoshop and finish it.
If I say this stuff 'belongs and is created by me' then it is RIPPING.

But DBZ and other stuff belongs to a company...
They made it from scratch...
And we're taking them... using them... in sigs... and claiming them as our own. So thats why Im confused
I still dont get it... further explination? >.<

It is not ours, but the people has the right to use it.
Besides, all knows that Akira made DBZ.

People that steals from a artist is ripping, if you're going to rip, you can rip legally by giving some credit to the artist that you copied from.

Ahh... I see >.<
So we cant take something someone else made.... and not give credit...
But we can use DBZ and stuff... because everyone else knows who made the thing...
Thanks for clearing my doubts ><

Well actually images do belong to there respectful owner. Its not ripping persay to take a picture of an anime charatcer drawn by the artist of the show, but it isn't really legal, its the same as me taking drawn chartcers from Cuc without asking and puttign thme on sigs, just this time its not a major anime selling company its just some guy.

II'd assume takign images from a ocmpany is the same as tkaing images from someone who drew them. For instance. If you drew Goku lets say and someone used him in a sig. Its the same thing as if your an artist in a nation wide anime company thing as if your a solo artist.

I'm not sure about the laws about taking images from national ocmpanies, but I'd assume its still in ownership of its rightful owner and that useing it is illegal, but nobody has itme to sew or email every person who uses an image of goku or whatever.

read the stickies!!!!! that explains ALL

lol ok i know you can take pictures but that was a banner and a sig kinda which they made so he should of given credit but i really dont care now
