I can't imagine how someone thought I would like the caption to be honest. <br /><br />And I understand that the original pictures aren't always ours, but I tend to crop and alter the pictures, and I know that Caitlyn often does the same thing. Posting THAT manipulation to the same place that had the "original" seems a bit tacky to me at least.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-51056517297565946722011-04-06T14:42:06.886-04:002011-04-06T14:42:06.886-04:00Damn I hate Blogger.

I can't count how many times I write up a response and then click the post button only to have it f#*$ up and delete everything. <br /><br />I had a big long comment here, but it got lost in the Blogger machinery. Basically it said, copying a phrase, or sentence or paragraph from someone is not good. Taking a concept from someone else and building on it to make something new and unique to you is the artistic process.<br /><br />Oh and ha, I had no idea someone used a pic I had in a cap for one of their own. I have no problem with that, it wasn't mine to begin with *shrug*Petrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02902355566297801798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-42470373903709393622011-04-03T19:41:08.671-04:002011-04-03T19:41:08.671-04:00This is an interesting question Dee...
You say th...This is an interesting question Dee...<br /><br />You say that Disney takes already told stories(i want to believe they take someone artwork and give a different feeling for the watcher in their shows or maybe they stole it and said that is completely original :3)<br /><br />We all know that coming with a story can be sometimes difficult, in my case i find it easy to make new stories, but that i find it good and bad for a reason, i could post a lot of stories but i know that they aren't good(i have some in my hard drive that are quite bad, and i try to search for errors in them whenever i find myself stuck with a new cap), that's why i practise with my writing skills and i try everyday to hone my skills, i don't know if i reached the point where you can say i have an unique style, but i try my hardest to make my stories different from what you saw before.<br /><br />Caitlyn:<br /><br />I wouldn't go that far, i think i would tie you up from the fingers :3<br /><br />Sometimes my role characters help in that manner, i got asked by some people why i them, and i give the response to them...<br />They are what they are because i chose them to be what they are, i mean i find more easy to write a story with characters, not just some (insert male name) becomes (insert female name) note that i'm not saying that's bad but i don't feel right doing that, i tried and it didn't work, i want my characters to feel alive, i set them in their own universe and i make them have their own traits and skills, so that why i created them, but i'm falling out of the question here.<br />What you explain here Dee about stealing someone other's work like copying outrageously lines from another story i find it bad, nor just bad i find it lazy, i dunno why someone would start to make a story and then unable to continue would steal someone's other lines, i would see unfit for the story and i think i would catch it fast like you said, when you start to create a story you have to set up first what you want to tell to the other person, what reasons brings the characters to do what they do in the story (seriously i've encountered some stories, that are like: josh became Joshie because he felt like it) where is the plot?, where is the reason that drive the story?...<br /><br />To summarize:<br /><br />If i were to steal someone's artwork or stories then i would end doing caps, but if i would have to stick with an already told story i would take it and try to make it completely different from what it was...Alectrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03568780951812037124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-59211319248713488182011-04-03T19:32:55.468-04:002011-04-03T19:32:55.468-04:00There are a few ways to answer this. I try not to ...There are a few ways to answer this. I try not to take images that I think might have been photomanipulated. (And thus represent real work for the artist). Other then that I will keep any image that strikes my fancy. Sometimes for years before I get around to using them. But I DO try and keep any identifying markings on the image so that they get credit for it. (I think of it as free advertising). <br /><br />I agree that there is a limited number of story concept out there. So repetition among artists is to be expected but I NEVER take some elses intellectual work and transfer to to my own. I consider that the worst kind of plagiarism. (That said I DO keep a copy of their work for myself to view again later. They are stored away in little file folders like "Gender swap: nice sequential", or "Occupation: Schoolteacher, non sequential". <br /><br />There is another way I beat the monotony. I very my caps not jest by naughty and nice but by different themes, like super heroine in distress, gender swap and angry girlfriend. <br /><br />And the fart jokes are not necessary to keep things even. Now low brow Tom and Jerry jokes...Geofreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18259509067119405992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-26880730958728945172011-04-03T15:53:51.870-04:002011-04-03T15:53:51.870-04:00I never intentionally copy someone. That is the f...I never intentionally copy someone. That is the first barrier I set up to make sure I don't copy someone. If I ever come to the point where anyone sees me copy someone intentionally, just find me and shoot me in the head. And I have something that helps me in that regard... I have a fairly bad memory. What I take away form really good caps is the 'feeling'. I couldn't quote direct lines out of caps without it sitting right in front of me. <br /><br />The examples that you use, of people outright taking a picture from another cap (with the watermark) I think is sad... but at the same time if they write their own story I don't think it is ALL bad. I don't do it... I really cement the picture with the cap I read it with. But if someone has a hard time finding an inspiriting picture, then I say go for it. BUT that applies to the picture only. If you intentionally lift a story from a cap, then you deserve a slow and horrible death. My thinking is that I didn't make the photos I use, so I can't exactly call 'dibs' on someone elses work. But I DID write the story. In that case you are stealing from ME, or some other hard working cap artist. If you just can't cap... then don't. <br /><br />And I would guess that you are going to require at least a half dozen dick and fart jokes to make up for Campbell and Picasso. <br /><br />@Davewashere25,<br /><br />I agree with you on the 'fishing from the same pond' point. I have found (well after the fact) that several of the images I've used, had been used before. I just hadn't seen them. And I think using some known celeb or porn star is always a relative exercise. Just because you as the artist knows them, doesn't mean that your readers will. And just because your readers know it, doesn't mean that you did. I have found several times that people knew the model I used, when I just found it as a random image.Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-68505938894949467242011-04-03T14:51:45.444-04:002011-04-03T14:51:45.444-04:00You covered it....

I'll try to get better and not be a distraction while I learn!<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Oh and no I NEVER pull pics from anyone elses work or lines but I do surf the web like everyone else and probably pull from some of the same picture repositories... Also one note on your answer... I agree that caps with known entities such as Celebs or Porn stars can "take people out of" the realm and story you are tying to spin but not being a big porn authority I sometime have no clue who is in the picture.<br /><br />Thanks for answering my question<br /><br />Davewashere25Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
