Can't access my request shop

Every time i go to enter my shop, i get this: 

 

 

Why is this happening?

We don't allow traces.

To expound on that: using art as a reference is good, tracing over art and claiming it as your own is bad juju. I recommend practicing, starting with the basics. Look up some pony sketch tutorials. Work on getting the shapes right and producing good "base" models for what you want to draw, then move on to detailing and different poses.

 

You'll draw hundreds, if not thousands of pieces that are crappy until you start to "git gud," so practice, practice, practice.

I drew those myself, how dare you say such hurtful things. I try and do something myself and this is the treatment i get? It's one wild accusation after another, i'm sick of it.

You can kinda see the lines where you traced the screen caps, they match up line for line...

Dude, that's where your wrong. I don't need freaking screen caps. People try to ruin anything i try to do, these are authentic drawings.

If you guys can't respect another artist's work, then leave me alone. You wouldn't know how much my hands shake if i tried to trace them, it wouldn't e a drawing at all.

I really rarely get involved with things like this... but here it goes

Thou doth protest too much, methinks.

See, that is where you're wrong. We DO respect art and artists, which is why we have the rules we do. It is extremely disrespectful to the original artist if another artist traces works and passes them off as their own. In fact, it is downright illegal. And as a person who has friends whom make a living off art, your responses to the concerns of tracing are disturbing. Instead of showing off artwork that cannot possibly be traces you just attacked US for having said concerns. 

I'm going to echo what Rosie said, practice and get better. Draw more original work. Develop your own style. Prove us wrong. Until then, you have no right to complain about the actions taken by the moderating staff.

Ohhh no! There's the bs again, you're all the same. I work hard for it, and those are mine. Nothing wrong with drawing a sketch of a ponie's pose in the show. That's all it is, nothing more, now stop throwing this out of proportion, and show some respect. Your making this into something it's not, i DREW them on a SKETCHPAD! My paper never touched the screen! I'm not lying, you are.

[CandyStar]

 

People appreciate my original work, something you guys will never get. So drop the drama and let an artist do his work in peace! And btw, I didn't attack you, it's only an attack if i say your names directly, it won't stick.

If that's how you feel, i'll take my real work elsewhere where it's appreciated. So screw you guys! I'm outta here!

Meme images? Alrighty.

 

 

All the images you've posted in your gallery and "request" thread were traced work, reported by multiple community users. We all enjoy ponies, we've all seen ponies, we've seen a lot of pony vector art floating around. We've also had many users do the same thing you're doing now: tracing over well-known images and claiming them as original work. Mare, please. You're not fooling anyone.

 

Normally we permaban users for art theft, the fact you're able to post in this thread now (albeit disgracefully) is testament to my own patience. If you want to show yourself to the door, go embarrass yourself on some other site.
