RECOLORING IS NOT BAD RECOLORING IS STILL ART AND IF U GUYZ SEE A RECOLOR THAN DONT COMMENT ON IT,DONT SAY ANY THING, AND MIND YOUR OWN BISSNESS...

IT'S NOT A FUCKING WAY OF ART! YOU RUIN REAL GOOD ART AND CALL IT YOUR OWN!

I will not comment nor flame 'bout them, as long as they do not claim it as their own.
And if it ain't original Sonic X art or SEGA shit, no credit is given/claim it as theirs, I cannot, and will not, just turn away. End.

i don't mind if somebody recolors, as long as they give credit for the original art, and gets permission from the artist to do so.
a good way for beginners to start drawing characters is to use lineart it's the same as recoloring a pic from sonic x except your allowed to color it. =) the best place to find those are on deviantart.com. i don't usually use them but i know people who do!

hope that helps a little! =)

I agree 101% with Mephiles. Recoloring is art theft, unless you give credit to the original maker, but hardly any of the recolorists do so.
Why don't you just draw your character? That isn't recoloring or art theft. Then you wont have people spamming you and cussing at you and calling you names. So what if you "can't draw"?! If people hate the picture, then they shouldn't have clicked on it.
I don't care about recolors. They mean less than nothing to me. Recoloring is not art. It's art theft, and you can get in some serious trouble with that. Draw. Don't recolor. And if you continue, go the the sopt Sonic Fancharacters (Recolors Are Allowed.
I think you'll be much happier there than here.

I think I said enough.

I believe recoloring from websites like deviantart, fanpop, and sheezyart, are bad because those pictures are created by deviants and whatever you wanna call them on fanpop and sheezyart, but it doesn't seem fair to recolor them because they worked hard to create just one picture! I say either recolors are eliminated from here fanpop, deviantart, and sheezyart. Or I have two other options, either you ask the person if your allowed to eit their artwork, or use it in a club, or I suggest people make their own artwork, this is for all the jerks who recolor from fanpop, deviantart and sheezyart! But from a company like SEGA since they don't give a shit, I think it's okay to recolor their artwork.

you can't Judge anything without trying do you know how much the artist practice in drawing sketching coloring shading? And how much you spent on recoloring? You can't say idk how to draw learning a new thing needs Patience and insisting there are tones of help in DA just try!! And try to be nicer on fanpopers...

My answer. [3

Here we go again. >_> Sure, recoloring is art, if Photoshopped pics count as art. And don't tell us to mind our own buisness. You're not God. You're just like the rest of us--a human. A tiny, insignificant human. There are 4 options for you.
1. Give credit to the original artist.
2. Use lineart.
3. Draw your own pic, no matter how bad you are at drawing. Ignore what everyone thinks and stick to your own opinion. Trust me, honey, I know because I do this all the time. :P
4. Go take drawing lessons and/or go see a therapist.

Well... i do colour overs. It is kind of stealing, but not when you give credit. And what if you cant draw, or dont know how to put pics on the computer? some people dont wanna ask others to make one up for them.

well heres my stry of it: recolors i use to make them in a day before..............but i regrat it cause now i understand that anyone can make a character but the thing i dont like is when u steal actual art from a good artist its not a big deal if u just recolor the sonic show and credit them and find other pics of them and credit but actual art is a big deal they could sue u and put u in jail for stealing art its like takeing your own stuff without ppl asking u permission and i agree with mephiles its not a way of art its almost like someone stealing ur own game without asking someone to barrow it if u recolor the show its fine but stealing ACTUAL ART!?!? WHEN U REALLY WEARNT ASKING PERMISSION TOO!? ARE U NUTS!? i still cant draw that good but come on really!? and awesome_chick u need to stop stealing grits the hegehog or u will find yourself baned if u get yourself a deviantart account >:( so thats why i hate recolors now peace out yall and also u can practice drawing on hand or computer or use bases drawing takes practice to get good but not recoloring its bad i tell u really! so plese dont recolor

*dodges more missiles and stops listening to this shitload of crap*

Everyone has a different way of viewing recolor, Some think recolor is good, some think recolor is bad but it all makes it different with "Credit"

with original pictures you have full credit of it but with recolors you dont just the person who owns it has the credit and probably wouldnt take it good if he or she found out hey...

Use a base its more better cause you do have your credit without upsetting a person who made the art and probably took more they 5 days to make it when recolors can just happen in one small hour...its not hard to atleast try a base or practice free hand...it improved me.

really?! huh you should great recolor? really ok let`s best recolor EVER! how about this its amezing? ( you`re freaking recolor BITCHES!! )
