User blog:Carefulspoon/About recolours...

Yes i wrote a blog about it lol XD

To be honest, im not exactly "against" recolours, if you feel so inclined to simply draw over a pic (despite the fact that its someone else's work) then go right ahead, nobody is stopping you, its just there's not a great deal of creativity or artistic ingenuity under such matters =/ being a former victim of recolouring myself, i understand entirely that the perception of confidence in one's own design can be finite under (so called) beneficial regards, in other words the overall dependency on using someone else's work for your own benefit seems a little...well...lazy...

This blog is all based on opinion and i dont mean to criticize those of you who partake in the acts of reclouring, if it makes you feel more comfortable about your work then by all means continue...though its not exactly "your work" its another artist's work that is simply being "Changed" somewhat, so its more like taking credit for someone else's work... again-i dont mean to criticize...

i stopped recoloring when people requested me to make pix for them, i didnt want their pix to be cardboard cut-outs ripped off of the internet, i wanted to make the pix special for them, something of my own design because not only did that seem more creative, it also seemed more "polite" and necessary so to speak. When I use the term "polite" what im clarifying is that i make my pix "original" for them instead of relying someone else's picture and simply coloring over them, because (through my personal perspective of inner-judgment) that is hardly even thoughtful and doesn't show too much effort DX

as i've said, im not against recolouring...but i strongly support the idea and encourage everyone here to at least give it a try, you might surprise yourself...
