SolitaryDreamer1986 is the Tiger^_^

Tigers are rebels. They are both colorful and unpredictable. They love being the center of attention and never go unnoticed. Tigers are impatient and always look for action.They speak their minds when upset and have suspicious natures.
But in spite of their quick tempers, they are sincere, generous and very affectionate. They also possess a great sense of humour. Tigers like people, involvement,and dedication to humanitarian causes. They seek out adventures, and at certain points in their lives, they will be very rebellious. They must act out some of their ideals and lash out at the wrongs of society. Tigers are so daring that they acquire many admirers. Those who disapprove of what Tigers do still will secretly admire Tigers for their actions.
When Tigers are injured they need all-out sympathy. Logic does not appeal to them. They want to be comforted. They will listen sincerely to the advice you give, and then do exactly as they please. Since they have a lot of spunk, no matter how down and out they get,they never give up. They can always start over again.
Optimistic, Tigers always bounce back for new and fresh challenges. Tigers are very generous with rewards when you have pleased them. Being delightful hosts, Tigers go all-out to see that you have a good time. They are intense individuals, especially when upset and angry, but Tigers are famous for their ability in influencing others and swaying crowds.

Sorry if this takes up too much space. You can erase if you want to...^_^;

StratadrakeOkay, you did leave me a bunch of things to respond to, eh?

- You don't know what an MLP is? MLP = "My Little Pony", one of Hasbro's toy lines aimed at girls. They're little pastel-colored plastic ponies, they were very popular in the 1980's and are back in stores for a third generation.

- It always bemuses me how people will claim how I 'must have' put tons of time and hours into a pic. I keep a close log of how much time/effort I put into each drawing; it just so happens that my Spyro of the Elements pic required seven hours from start to finish (whereas my Starscream MLP, by contrast, took only three).

- Just so you know, moderator and admin are NOT the same things. I'm a moderator on FAC's forums, outside of that I'm also on the category crew. I don't have authority to do suspensions/bans or manage abuse reports.

- For the record, you have indeed been taken off auto-approval for awhile. I can't do anything about it, myself (in fact, I agree with their decision).

You can already suspect why: it's because your pictures are redrawn so well from official pics. "Copy art" (more commonly called "tracing") is not very appreciated by FAC rules - see [url=rules.php]FAC submission rule[/url] #3, "redrawing an existing picture", and rule #16, "direct tracing".

There are several reasons for this rule. Drawing/redrawing from an existing picture does not develop your own artistic skills. Skills such as image composition/posing, sense of color theory, knowledge of proportions/anatomy, and image perspective/foreshadowing -- drawing/redrawing from an existing picture does not develop these skills to nearly the same extent that drawing original characters does. This is espcially true for copy art (often called "tracing"), where the only skills you develop are the ability to duplicate someone else's work. (Official characters are someone else's work too, the difference is that the owner is a professional studio/artist and not a freelance/amateur artist) And it's not fair to the original creator of that character when people give somebody else (such as you) all the credit for a piece of work that is mostly theirs. When you redraw from an existing picture, the composition is not yours, the sense of proportions and anatomy are not yours, the perspective and lighting is not yours -- those still belong to the original artist, and the only thing that truly belongs to you is the actual time you spent redrawing it.

Now, it is true that many artists on FAC draw from official pictures as a reference while they are still developing. However, there's a line between referencing from an official picture and directly copying/tracing it. It's difficult to define what this line is, but the FAC abuse team defines it with an overlay comparison. You see, "copy art" (often called tracing) comes in many forms. On physical media, there's actual tracing paper, mirror devices, and the "grid" method. On CG, it can mean redrawing over the original image in ANY form (such as Photoshop layers with transparency - original pic on bottom, your pic on top, and you simply draw over the lines), but it can also mean using measurement to copy linework/shading exactly (e.g., measure the width/height of a particular line, then produce a line on a different surface with the same width/height).

On the other hand, if you printed out the image onto paper, hung it up on the wall somewhere beyond arm's reach, then copied the lines with absolutely no measurements used to ensure accuracy, that's not a form of "copy art", because there is no actual, direct connection between the original drawing and your version of it. There will ALWAYS be some level of discrepancy between the original and your version when this is the case.

In the end, FAC practice is this: If the abuse team overlays your picture on top of the original picture, and there are absolutely NO discrepancies between the linework of the two, then some form of "copy art" must have been involved -- it essentially becomes "not yours", which is not allowed on FAC.

If your art is to the point where people are accusing you of tracing (which you know they have), you can take it as a compliment that you can match your drawings to the original so damn well. ON THE OTHER HAND, this also means that you've maxed out your artistic development in the realm of copy art, and you really SHOULD move on to creating and drawing your own original characters, or at least to drawing official characters WITHOUT a picture to go by and compare to. (That's what most FAC artists do anyway)

After all, if you create and draw out your own original characters straight from your own imagination (no pictures for reference), then NO ONE can accuse you of tracing, right? It's true that your first few original characters won't look so hot (my first dragons sure didn't!), but give it a year or two of practicing one original drawing after another, you will develop the ability to create a realistic character without relying on an existing picture. THEN you are a truly great artist.

I know this sounds tough, but I'm trying to keep a positive angle on the issue here. You've done enough drawing/redrawing from existing pictures, you should work on branching out into original, fully-created-by-you territory.
