#tracing and photobashing r two different things but they both leave direct traces of the used image

So there was some Twitter drama today about an artist heavily referencing (to the point where it was mistaken for tracing) AI character sheets in their fan art, and that got me wondering!

I’d also like to hear some elaboration in the comments/rbs/asks if you’d be willing, specifically if the artist disclosing what kind of referencing they’re doing changes your opinion, or if other exceptions exist, as well as your experience with art (visual artist, non visual artist (music, writer, choreographer, etc.), art enjoyer, art hater, art critic, art historian, anything else that might influence your view on art/your opinion on this, etc.)

#poll #tumblr polls #tracing and photobashing r two different things but they both leave direct traces of the used image #so for the sake of fitting the options I wanted to I conflated them
