If I should still credit it let me know I just thought it was only if i slightly changed the original design not Just the "lines". This was supposed to be a multirole ship able to carry passengers and cargo. I'll try to post the update later tonight.
Please, don`t get me wrong here, I`m not giving you a slap on the face or anything like it,
.
The main basis of this whole site, is that we must all feel some kind of respect ones to the others. Even if you hate the guts of any one of them,
, which btw, doesn`t exclude what I first said to you here. Despite there being any love or hate among others, we
ALWAYS try to respect each other in this issue about drawing in shipbucket style.
For this issue, the sole action of drawing a ship that was first drawn by somebody else, (even if at the end, both drawings end up being as diferent as black from white), can somehow be considered as a rude attitude. Whenever you draw a ship, if you intend to draw a ship that was already made by someone else, the minimum courtesy is that you contact first the original author and ask him for permission to try out another take or version of his drawing. Most of the times, you'll get a positive answer, as most of us despite all the effort we could have put in the job, we like to see it, as best rendered as possible for it to be, as many times during the process, we put a part of our own hearts in trying to accomplish it, so somehow we may feel some kind of love for the ship, and most of us who love something, wants for it the best, despite whatever we may feel. But sometimes we may feel a feeling of posession, for the same reason, and no one who experiences this kind of feeling will accept someone else to do anything on your beloved item. (as most of the times I say it, we human beings are fucked up in our minds, while animals don`t have to worry for such stupid things,
).
Well as I said, first contact the other guy and ask for permission. Once you get his permission, if you use important parts or a great part of his work, there is no question of how to proceed : you
MUST credit him, before your own name ( I believe that lots of people round here have received warnings in this particular issue, as it is a very sensible issue).
Now if your drawing is completely made from scratch, you could avoid the issue of crediting the other author in the former drawing, but in the introduction you make, you must tell everybody that you ask for permission to the original author and if posible, post his drawing together with yours, in order that other members judge f there are similarities or if it is another rendering of the same ship (or even class of ship, which is a broader concept, but related), in respect to his work (In my case, I think you should credit him anyway, although In think this later thing I 'm telling you, is more like a personal opinion, than a rule. Maybe one of our moderators can clear this issue up for you, better than me. After all, compared to their work, most of us here, are the same as yourself, only newbies in the art of shipbucket style of drawing).
(PS: don`t ask too many things directly to me, as you don`t really know me, you're not aware whom you're dealing with. I`m a natural speaker and in my "illment", I may give you answers so long that other members could probably do the same thing in only 1 or two sentences).
(sincerely still don`t know, if this green fellow up here, is a good guy or a bad one, but his "grin" is better than the one at the beginning, and one thing for certain, has much more teeth than the ones I have).
