from a tut..
its not ripping from a tut

[Contra]

Did you even bother to read my posts warlock?

In case you didn't..

uhh, okay. first thing is it's from a tutorial. not really a rip, it's just as bad as using a brush from a set (which happens all the time). 2nd, it's a portion of the sig, without the two lights, I think it would still look fine, but i prefer it the way it is now because it looks better and I don't think it's wrong to keep it there. And don't tell me that I can't brush (you haven't yet but I can see it coming), just check out some stuff in my portfolio and I have a lot of brushing from scratch. I'm sorry if i'm coming off harsh, but it sounds like you're implying the whole damn sig a rip, and it took no skill to make the sig.

yes, I know it's a tutorial image. That's the thing though, it's from a TUTORIAL. I know it's supposed to be an example and emulated by the tutorial reader, but who knows. Maybe I was lazy. If Excelsium was really worried about people ripping that image, even if it was just to be a small part of a piece, there wouldn't be a picture-example in the tutorial, or there would be a watermark covering most of it. Like I said, it's a portion of it, the render is the main part which takes up a majority of the sig. I don't think it's that big of a deal but I don't want to be looked at as some noob ripper. Anyway, I don't want to argue, I will be peaceful now :| Hope you understand what I mean.

u took the HIS final product and put it on ur sig. thats a rip.

[Contra]

your arguement is about as valid as me saying "you ripped your current sig, you didn't make those pictures, the people from the dead or alive series did. all you did is took two pics and used a filter (filter>artistic>cutout, somewhere around these stats:
Number of Levels: 8
Edge Simplicity: 0
Edge Fidelity: 3) to make it look vectored. I'm sure that took more effort than actually putting a render in the sig and then adding a small part of a tutorial pic onto it.

in your words:u took TECMO's final product and put it on ur sig. thats a rip.

of course, calling you a ripper wouldn't be true, but judging on your basis of a "ripper", I guess you are one too.

pics are not the same as graphics, this was a ss from a game, a few of them and i altered them to make a sig. u took his art exactly and ripped it. there is no way u followed his tut so exactly that it just happened to come out EXACTLY like it.

pics are not the same as graphics

so you're saying it took no effort for tecmo to produce those graphics for their games on consoles? yes, graphics. they were computer generated GRAPHICS, just because they're a .jpg on the site you found it on, doesn't mean they aren't graphics and they're simply a "picture." riiight, according to you, their work is their work, "omg ripper!1". What I think you're trying to say is, "I found it on a wallpaper site." Well guess what, mine was on a tutorial site.

few of them and i altered them to make a sig.

you mean you took a pic, maybe aligned it slightly differently, and added one filter + text in photoshop?

happened to come out EXACTLY like it.

So that whole sig I posted shows no skill because it contains a PORTION, which I've been saying all along but obviously you're ignorant or illiterate, of a usable pic from a TUTORIAL. My sig is exactly like it huh? I just copied and pasted it onto a blank document and saved it? No. I used a render that I MADE, and added a small brushing part from a TUTORIAL.

btw, here's your "vector".

yo .. contra im actually gonna have to go with warlock here (wow what a change :-0) ..


you took the tutorial image, and overlaid it, you didnt do the tut ..

i consider that ripping

[[ruption]]

contra's sig not technically a rip really.
its just like using a picture and puting it onto a bg.
from the looks of it warlock is more guilty if u say that, all war has done is taken a wallpaper a used the filter "cutout".

[[ruption]]

and by the looks of it the wallpaper u used war is copyrighted. ttttt

[odium]

i actually took some clips of it and mixed em but hey it took 5 mins. if its a rip sry. but still taking someones tut pic and puting it on a bg is just like taking somones 3dsmx render.

[auggy]

^plus hes not trying to join^

[[ruption]]

well if u say that im must be a ripper cos people spend alot longer time making the pics i use than a random render on 3dsm.

[[ruption]]

but he tried

[odium]

no im saying. u make a tutorial on how to make a render in 3dsmx. then in the final product, i copy it into my bg. u wouldnt call that a rip?!
