RantI'm sorry guys, but I need to post this. I'm in the mood to rant.
I might lose a few watchers after this, but I don't really give a shit.
I've been put in a pissy mood today, so I figured it's the best time to get my feelings out about one particular subject: CGI Chipmunks.
I can never post my full opinion on them anywhere, because I don't want to get into trouble or offend anyone. But this is MY dA account, so I can post MY opinion and it won't matter.
I absolutely, with all my heart, DESPISE CGI Chipmunks. There is nothing in this fandom more revolting(other than, say, chipmunks turned into humans).
It's absolutely impossible to express how much I hate them.
CGI RUINED The Chipmunks and Chipettes.
What did they do? They took the characters we all loved and slapped fur on them and made them tiny and fucked up their eye colors and destroyed their personalities.
Here is a list of reasons I hate CGI:
1. Eye colors. This is a HUGE issue for me. Bigger than anything. HUGE. I FUCKING HATE W

Recolors are NOT artby ~Moon-Reader

Customization / Icons / Other

i have no idea which category to place this...
~~~~~~~
seriously people! recolors are all over the place! its like the new trend, I am SICK of opening my account to lame-ass recolors of anime/cartoon characters, but by far THE WORST I've seen is the numerous Alvin & the Chipmunks (and other similar movies) recolors!! IT. MAKES. ME. SICK.
now some of you will say "don't like it, don't look at it", well its not MY fault this shit is on the recent page and finds its way into my inbox on a daily basis!
don't get me wrong, i LOVE opening dA every day and seeing he art on the recent page, even if is not all THAT good, i still like looking at it and appreciating the effort its creator put into it, even if i don't leave a comment on it or fave it.
recolors just don't work with me, they make me angry, pissed off, they make me fume in rage, HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE I DO WHEN I SEE THEM!!
dA is supposed to be for ART and ARTISTS, whether they were professionals or beginners with a load to learn, as long as they ASPIRE to be artists and create ART, they belong here. there are simply TONS of other websites where such things as recolors are welcome, just. not. here.

Sadly... I figured out recently why recolors even exist.
We all know of the all-famous Soup Can-making Warhol, right?

One of his most famous works is of one picture merely replicated with different colors and made into a masterpiece (hence recolors).
I ain't saying Warhol is bad but... that's kinda where it got famous.

and there is also lazy wannabes who find it much easier to alter professional work than make their own...

~Moon-Reader Sep 27, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

no need for that

How? I lern when i recolor. like how to draw and stuff

~Moon-Reader Sep 10, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

no, tracing does not teach you anything, asides from being lazy, while observing artwork you like and striving to draw better WITHOUT having to trace, that's how artists are born.

I completely agree. I will never understand why people keep making recolours and I am SO glad I stopped a long, long time ago. Every time I see a recolour, I want to throw up. D: It just outrages me! The most common ones I've seen are Sonic the Hedgehog ones, and it's just not right to steal official art like that, colour over it, and claim it as your own. This has got to stop and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
