Is this considered to be a rip?
Monday, October 3, 2005 by Cyberworld | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Okay i spent some days now trying to make a nice wallpapers package to complement TSF's great work Alienware Invader.It has 44 walls in total at all possible resolutions (even wide and double screens). I've uploaded it and it got rejected. I've sent mail but got no response,sooo i'm leaving it to public judgement. Is this considered a rip or not? Here's a link of one of the walls (there are four designs). Link: Link
Please do keep in mind that i made all graphics in Photoshop,no copy-paste here,all were redrawned. And trust me space scenes take time to make.
Thank you fro your response.

We would change it. You can not work in the professional art field and not expect to change/compromise/make concessions with your art. I don't care how good you are.
We've had to change designs before because windows media player made what we did too jagged because of the lack of alpha. We have made many changes over the years much to our chagrin because the client wanted the changes made. So like i said before and i'll say it again do not get into commercial art if you are unwilling to make artistic compromises.

| If you found that one of your skins was very similar to something created by someone else would you compromise your art? Hypothetically speaking would you compromise your art? |

with that philosophy you will never be an artist.
ever heard of a starving artist?
I design houses for a living and I have to compromise my designs all the time. I am quite aware of how much that stings sometimes. I just take my name off of it is all.

| "compromising art is a sin": you will never make it in commercial art with that philosphy. Hope you have a non-artistic career in which to pay your bills. |

I understand and respect that only because your living is depending on this. Otherwise there would be no excuss.
Thank you for the support Fairyy~

My unkle is one! He has a degree in fine arts and no steady job! But he still is happy with his life.
~Angelic Destine i understand the reasons for saying this,but the best way to prove someone wrong is just make something better. That is how i work. (Although don't always accomplish it.) Thank you for the support.

| The reason why has not yet been explained by someone in authority,so i can't speak,not can i complain. What if it was considered of low quality or as Jafo said the size was just too big for just one work? |
That's pretty-well it. #6 and #8 covered it.
As I also said, it's not easy to 'carry-off' a space scene well....not everyone is a Greg Martin.
The walls were not rejected through any association with the TSF references, simply that 44 walls of essentially the same image is 'over-kill'.
Meanwhile, it seems this thread has become an opportunity for all to have his say about all sorts of disparate concepts/issues, none of which is particularly salient.
If there's a revised/amended submission it too will be considered for acceptance on merit.
Time to move on....

I should have chosen wiser words. I didn't mean it like that. Sorry. I don't think your all about downloads. I should have just said uploading.
