I'm commenting on the ridiculous notion that using "renders" or stock photos is considered plagiarism; something you apparently argue in favor of and yet hypocritically do in your own work.

You're putting words in my mouth of course, because I've never said anything about using stock photos being plagiarism - but even if I had it hardly matters because it's not your sources that bother me but rather the complete lack of creativity and concepts in sigs like yours and Davian's. I will use several images, alter them if needed and sew them together into an actual illustration with a real idea behind it unrelated to the original pictures... meanwhile guys like you take someone's actual artwork, that they created from scratch not just a photo, then just run a filter over it and add some sparklies or flames and then put your name on it for crying out loud... sort of a major difference.
But I'm sure you knew that before you decided to attempt an argument, so w/e.
