Stamp - I Draw in My Style

Description

My very first stamp with transitional text (like most of the stamps, depending on how many words they use).

All right. Here is a stamp I made that applies to artists who draw pictures in their own style, instead of always particularly drawing pictures of people, places, and things in the style they're from. First of all, when you look at my gallery, you notice that for 95–99% of my drawings, including my favorite characters are drawn in my own style and not always done completely in the official styles they're from. Back around 2008, some random users said some very bashful things about my art, but they even said bashful things about me, and even labeled me as a "horrible" artist. What people like those don't understand is that I have a very unique style for drawing: I use the Anime/Manga-style for faces and hairstyles, while I draw the arms and legs in a thin-looking fashion like how many characters from late '20s/early '30s cartoons looked like. Also, I always draw the characters' hands with four fingers and a thumb (especially characters who officially have three fingers and a thumb), and their feet with five toes (especially the ones who officially have three toes); but don't get me wrong, thumbs are NOT fingers at all, because they're thicker and have two joints instead of three. And everyone has a right to draw in whatever style they prefer to draw. The only things that all artists are forbidden to do (when it comes to "fan art") are traces and recolors off of pictures that belong to someone else (they're both considered "art theft"). Drawing a picture that references a promotional image or screenshot is all right, as long as you credit the source or idea. Besides, many of my dA friends have very creative styles for whatever pictures they draw. And in more recent years, my drawing skills have always been improving. And no matter how much my drawing skills improve, they always remain in my style. And for whoever looks at my drawings, I only want positive feedback.

Feel free to use this stamp in your journals, on your userpage, or both.

The stamp template was made here: [link] , text was done in Photoshop, and the sequencing was done in GIFfun.

IMPORTANT: Please excuse the black background.

I'm really sorry you had to go through this. As someone who went through the same situation (I found my art stolen and reposted in hate-sites that promote art shaming) I understand you and I know what it feels like to be bashed just because you draw stuff in your own style. But the most important thing is moving forward, continuing improving at your pace and make deaf ears & blind eyes to what idiots say. It helped me a lot when I discovered the breed of haters I had behind me.
