my first attempts at morphing

my first attempts at morphing

I don't get it... some of those are signed by Pet and Maski, etc... morphers here. Are you working from other morpher's work as your source material?

[rastamees]

oh yes i guess some of those pics are from other morphers, that i have improved
sometimes its impossible to find the same exact picture without it being morphed
none of this is other peoples work, thats for sure
next time i will remove the insignias of others to avoid confusion

You guess?
Improved?

Let's see if I have this right. Try this analogy.
You wish to be a writer and this is your first attempt.
Instead of writing something of your own,
you took a known masterpiece like
"A Tale Of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens,
then modified three paragraphs,
then claimed the work as your own.

And then when caught red handed,
you actually claimed yours was an improvement.

And So now you will remove the logos of the original artists.
It that so you can claim their work, as yours?

Do you really think you are fooling anybody here?

OK, thanks for the clarification.

In return, let me clarify something for you if I may. Though you've broken no rules here, what you're doing is in very poor taste: while you've got as much right as anyone to edit an original (unmorphed) image and then post it to demonstrate your skills, for you to take someone else's work without their consent, modify it (what you regard as an 'improvement' ...please remember that others may disagree) and then repost it as your own original work is NOT the same thing.

There are untold trillions of images on the internet... a few minutes of googling will turn up more images than any single artist could morph in a lifetime. Please consider the fact that this community (of morphers and fans of their work) has been around for 15 years before you showed up, and that in that time, certain 'community standards' have evolved. Among them is a respect for fellow artists... something that your practice seems to ignore.

Do yourself (and everyone else a favor) and work from original/unmorphed images: that way you're not seen as attempting to take credit for someone else's time, effort and skill. By using unmorphed originals, you (and we) can see what YOUR skills are, without any confusion. And please do NOT remove someone else's signature/logo: doing so will only earn you scorn and contempt regardless of whatever your own morphing skills might be.

ok wtf i did not expect this kind of behaviour
so what if i took an already morphed picture and edited it heavily ? because the original was made half-assed and didnt look realistic ?
you can compare these with the originals and clearly see they are completely different
jesus christ, its like i committed the ultimate crime or something
well this certainly was the last time i post on this forum

i would be glad if some of you improved what i had done, and no i dont care if you dont credit me for the original, because who the hell cares ??

You're free of course to stay or go as you prefer. If you can't understand that some folks would find your behavior less-than-considerate, I can't explain it to you any better.

A word of advice: when you are a guest someplace... anyplace... online or in real life, it's customary to be polite and not pushy... to recognize that you're in someone else's 'home' and that it's just common courtesy to respect the wishes of your host. If you can't manage to understand that either... well again: I can't explain it beyond that.

Real morphers care.

[rastamees]

and what exactly is a "real morpher"

[DruulEmpire]

I'm going to put it to rastamees another way.

Does he have a job?

And how would he like it if someone else took all the credit for his work?

Or had him fired and took his job from him, claiming that he was doing it all wrong?

[gonZo]

A real morpher works hard to make good morphs, so he understands that the work of other morphers was accomplished through the same sort of effort and dedication to craft. He therefore respects other morphers too much to paint over their morphs or dismiss them as needing "improvement".

[rastamees]

oh, wow
didnt think u guys were nerdy enough to consider this thing a job
yeah, its SOOO hard work to liquify for 15min max in photoshop
im going to leave u guys to it, i did it for personal pleasure and thought i would share it with others
but some of you got all exited because i improved another mans work
that pet guy should thank me for improving his work and not taking any credit for it
but hey, you guys consider yourselves to be "artists at work" or something haha
seriously, whatever.

Given your original attitude and your response, I can't help but wonder if you're actually old enough to participate in an adult forum... where min0rs are not allowed. After all, what kind of adult would enter a community that has thrived for 15 years before he showed up, essentially plagiarize (and simultaneously deride) the work of others while attempting to take credit for it, and not even be able to tell that his 'improvements' are nothing of the sort. Adults also are often mature enough to accept criticism, and to apologize if they've transgressed.

You've yet to demonstrate a single trait that could be associated with adulthood. I suggest you take a moment to consider your actions and attitude since both are sorely in need of some actual 'improvement'.

im 21 years old and i havent taken credit for anything, i dont consider this to be important enough
but hey, ill leave you "artists" here to squabble, too bad you just lost a potential morpher due to your inability to calmly point out his mistakes
instead calling him a thief and saying he came here only to plagiarize or whatever. english isnt my native language so dont bash me if i dont know 100% perfect grammar

and yeah, like im going to take advice from some random porn queen on a forum

this is just pathetic whats going on here, why the hell did i even come to this place
ill keep improving your pics if they are done badly and keep making my own. and no, i wont share them with you.
