Lennox Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 So recently I tried to plagiarize a sig to win the #12 competition. I was harassed and my feelings hurt. I was told not to plagiarize. All I wanted to do was win that really shiny award.

You wouldn't steal a baby. You wouldn't murder a police officer, steal his helmet and go to the toilet in it. Then mail it to his grieving widow. Then steal it again! Though, if you run SotW, you apparently would. For shame. Edited July 30, 2010 by WorldConqueror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I did put in a request for a signature of the week bar some time ago when i was a regular user on their forums and their Graphics staff basically just said: "Here's the stock we currently use for our SOTW, just give us credit." When I started using it for SOTW Bwyard and a few others were in fact informed where I got it from. I could always make you a faux one if you needed.

I want to apologize then, I just thought it was hilarious that the same picture, which used to be used on this forum as a signature for somebody else, was entered, and used as stockart by scorponok. Likewise, I had recently seen D34th's in the form of a thousand others just like it on google, so... I dunno, I just found a chuckle in being the whistleblower. Also, I'd never steal a car, but I'd copy one and download it if I could. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Muscarella Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 haha wow... a tutorial should be used to teach the concept behind how a sig was made; otherwise it's a "step-by-step instructions on how to make this exact same graphic." I'm a little bit disappointed in the graphic now. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banksy Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Seriously? Of course they got it from there, that's where the sig of the week concept came from. It's kind of the whole point. Edited July 31, 2010 by Banksy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred von Tirpitz Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) You guys should have retained the original award bar theme, it looks much better than the one you ended up using. The bevel effect and the stroke on the "CN ART" bit is a bit jarring. e: it may not be a bevel, maybe the stroke makes it look like there is one.

Anyone who takes notice of the OWF knows what the current SOTW is about, and if they don't they can easily press the left mouse button once and find out. Also, you will note that I did not create this thread, so I have no idea if it was created to slander or not. All comments, negative or otherwise, should be directed to that lovely Sith Lennox. My post was merely making fun of the whole situation through a quote from a TV show which I found funny, and of some relevance here. I really don't care what goes on with SOTW and whether you copied the award or not. However, I did see the IRC conversation where Sky attacked Lennox for plagiarism, and thought this situation was too ironically funny to miss.

Banksy Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 The "Sig of the Week" theme and those particular pips are used on forums throughout the internet. They copy the format Planet Renders does, because a metric $%&@ton of internet graphics people use that site. Every designer I've talked to about 'Sig of the Week' know about Planet Render's Sig of the Week contest, it's quite a popular site. To use those pips on other forums is common place, it's actually encouraged. However, to rip a sig straight off Deviant Art is clearly against the OP's rules, and Deviant Art's. The pips are a homage, whereas the sig is just a direct copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For two, deviant art has stricter policies on plagiarism than planet rendors does. For three, the award is not used in the competition (+ a permission was received to use the award anyways). As to Lennox: stop feeling butthurt and at least admit it that you just copied a picture from deviant art and not make excuses such as "well my friend made it for me and I was going to give the award to him". You stated that it was YOUR entry. Everyone wants a shiny award, a shiny car, a shiny great paying job. Man up and take responsibilities for your actions.
