[Arowanna]

Ehm..? As long as you've drawn all of it, this is not CnP.
But if there's a "Original Picture", please show it... Or... To be honest, I don't understand you fully, why would this be a CnP..?

 

[antihero]

I have no idea what I'm looking here but I'm just going to assume that yes, yes that is CNP.

 

[A.R.]

You know whether or not you made this, there's no need to ask anyone else. Your artistic integrity is worth more than any praise you'd get by taking the easy way out.

Remember: you get much so more out of drawing something yourself than painting over someone else's work.

this.

 

[zadelim]

So you guys. Agree this is a CnP? I only draw the shape out and edit layer by layer on my own.

CnP - Copy and Paste

What you are doing (if I understand you correctly) is tracing. Neither is commonly accepted as your own work. Thus you should be concluding not to do this, and rather use the source as inspiration to create your own twist.

 

[Panda]

Well since you have a reference, see if you can make it by urself and if you really need to CnP then you can try it..

Or just wait for your modeler to wrap his model, and draw over his wrap? :/

He still working on the model. Every update I will send him my skin. Then, let him wrap it. I post this thread because I don't know this is CnP or not. Is it "tracing" does not break the skin section rules?

 

[Deolrin]

You don't understand. First the modeler has to finish and wrap his model, THEN you take his wrap(without texture), and paint over it.

 

[zadelim]

Hmmm...That could faster than I doing now. I try tell him to do that. Anyway thanks for the information.

I know modellers who make the texture first than the unwrap.

 

[Deolrin]

That might be true, but what I proposed is, in my opinion, a little better than what Zadelim is doing now, which is simple as that - tracing.

According to Zombie. (when he was called zombie279 - correct me if I'm wrong), a 25 percent of CnP is allowed, but I don't know if the rules have changed since then.

Those rules still applies to my knowledge, but requires a lot of freehand and its also judged by the mods themselves whether or not its too much.

Btw: allowing the unwrap of the model before texturing it, makes life easier for both the modeller and the texturer.

I know modellers who make the texture first than the unwrap.

And just to clear things up, this is a BAD idea as unwrap stretches and often doesnt fit properly often resulting in bad unwraps (complex/humanoid models)

75% freehand is required for the rules, the rules now on that are quite shit actually.

Yeah, its a form of tracing, you took the composition, style, colour, tone and pretty much "copied" the entire thing. I don't approve stuff like that (unless its small), it rather a grey area though to be honest. I see the skin/texture areas at this site as a place to improve freehand skills, and not rely on other peoples professions to boost your hobbies and make you who you are.

 

[RED BARON]

Same as saying 25% allowed, which is also rather strange.. one can wonder if a revising will come at some point.

Yes I should note that these were professional character modellers and that this was a rather unorthodox method of synthesis.

Just don't bother tracing.It gives mediocre result and is pain to UW map.
I've seen the WIP on the contest thread and it doesn't look good.
You've made the blade too small because in the artwork it looks small because it's captured from a certain angle but it's bigger.
You need a flat texture to make UW mapping easier and better.
