2 for u thieving off of Enayla

[Quinctia]

Then again, I could be mistaken. Perhaps someone can enlighten me if I am.

I don't think the issue is necessarily that she used a photo, more that she used a photo while claiming the picture just popped out of a brown canvas.

There is nothing wrong or unartistic in what she did.  The wrong comes from her lying about it, and the use of that photograph in such a way is likely copyright infringement.

The difference here between her photo example and all your examples is the original artists having the integrity to basically cite their sources.

Sure the pic's over five years old, but if she's still lying about it, instead of saying "I learned how to paint by going over photos and changing aspects," it's rather disingenuous.

So much talking about her techniques and hipocrisy that you tottaly forgot that the main point here is about other selling stuff that are for free.

We didn't forget the point, the point simply drifted. There's only so long you can talk about the obvious wrongness of Paysite Scum. Because honestly, you expect such shit from them. It's just expected behavior, much like how a topic about a Hamas bus bombing quickly drifts to talking about Israel: There's not much to say, you just kinda expect this sort of behavior from Hamas.

I don't understand why people are getting so uppity about getting off-topic.  I mean, god forbid such a thing happen.  :roll:

[Quinctia]

I think it's 'cause the topic makes them a tad uncomfortable.  Oh well!

[Aquamarine]

Couldn't care less. Artists using others' works and pulling the "reference" card is the rule, and it's been going on since the advent of museums. No biggie. If it concerns you so much, confront her.

[Pescado]

The big deal isn't so much that she does it, or even omits the credit. I see that as a non-issue. The real issue is that, allegedly, she sells this tutorial of how to produce these works, but this information is clearly blatantly false and utter fabrication.

That is simply not true though.  Many have used her tutorials and had great success.  Her tutorials are well embraced and highly praised.  Obviously, they succeeded at their intended purpose.  As for those for whom it did not work, well, I guess they just don't yet have the same level of skill.  Some are bitterly jealous that she was chosen to be featured in a well-known graphic arts magazine and they weren't.

The allegations that Enayla is dishonest are far from being proven to me. Since I like her and she is generous with her sims creations, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

2-for-you sucks for being a paysite and they suck even more for taking her free work, uglifying it and then selling it.

[hippiechic]

Does she have some other tutorials that I am unaware of because the ones that are on her site are free.

Hmm.. My first post here.

I thought this forum was about detroying paysites and the main reason Enayla is complaining is that they are selling out some skin she did, without giving any credits, and she is giving them for free.

Does it really mather she gives over-painted skins for free? Or based on photos or if she does it all by her self?

I actually don't believe that no one does it by it self. Everyone needs a base reference.

So much talking about her techniques and hipocrisy that you tottaly forgot that the main point here is about other selling stuff that are for free. Now that is hipocrisy.

Post above. I agree... Most people here are picking on a fight on the wrong person. :/

Bah you need to read these forums more. Its perfectly normal for things to go off topic. One second we could be RA!! RA!! over a crappy pay site by the 2nd or 3rd page we are discussing women serial killers.

Is anyone else having problems getting on 2 for u?  I was just there reading their guestbook (Kathy from Insim is relentless...you go girl!  :lol: ) than tried to go back there and the website cannot be found.  Bet that they are reading their guestbook and hitting the delete key repeatedly.  Hopefully, they will also take Enayla's skins out of their donation set.

[Shawnee]

Their site is back online now.

[keirra]

No idea why, but, I still can't get on there  :roll: .

[Jojoba]

No idea why, but, I still can't get on there  :roll: .

Its dead to me too! And I was going to post in the guestbook and send an email! O woe  

I hope Kathy and co make up for my absence  :lol:

[MizzKitty]

Down for me too, and I was just there raiding their free stuff a day or so before this thread started.
