If they redrew my drawing and I can see differences (or if I line it up, I will find that it is different), like a wavy line here or there, or the size/porportion/lines were different and said where they found the drawing (like I found a FFVIIAC drawing of Kadaj and Cloud which was originally drawn by ~tobiee, and then redrawn by them and said that they found it in tobiee's gallery), I wouldn't mind. But if they saved the picture and posted it, saying they drew it, but didn't redraw it, I would be unhappy, yes. But Morgster didn't do that, and I'm sure she could post a link. I'll ask her to do that from now on, ok? Will that make you at least a little happier and stop criticizing at least her?

It took me about a year, or even a little more, to start drawing my own fanart and OCs (I just started with my own OCs and a little of my own fanart). I consider that a good amount of time, for me, at least. For others, it might take longer, or maybe other people start out with their OCs right away. I don't know. She might never change, which would be unfortuanate. Someone can always ask politely for someone to try their own characters as a way to improve. And would you kindly explain what I'm being ignorant towards? Your point of view? Your beliefs?

Are you saying that such drawings aren't art? Then would you be saying a lot of anime drawings by amateurs aren't art? That what they spend time on it to make it perfect isn't art? There are people that can move stuff, possibly even delete it, I don't know. I do know that such art can be moved to scraps as mine was moved recently by an admin. I recieved a note telling me that it had been moved and gave me the FAQ of why it was moved. If the admins don't think that drawings of screenshots are fan art, why didn't they move the ones in my gallery when they were moving that one pic? And you can't say that there are too many of the screenshots, becasue that would mean that you'd have to criticize all those people and you can't say that the admins are overworked because when they were in my gallery, they didn't get rid of any of my screenshot drawings. And you can't say that they aren't going to try, because they've probably thought that if they started clearing they'll lose their business and whatnot because most of those drawings are never turned to prints, nor are they bought if they are.

I really shouldn't have joined this... I'm gonna be arguing for a long time and spending my vacation fighting over art theft and copying...
