but you guys sort of make it seem like there is a faction of people who refuse to allow pixels placed in the same place
No that's not what I'm getting at.
You're right there isn't a group of people to point fingers at.
This is what I'm concerned with:
I could change it but it would kind of be an arbitrary change made more for the sake of not copying then learning or progressing the picture. So I'm kind of left with the choice to either copy the work exactly as it is and feel like i'm ripping, copy the work with arbitrary changes and possibly intentionally work at a lower quality then the edit, or ignore it and apply the information on another picture in the future. None of those feel like optimal choices exactly.
and thanks for soothing my silly worries everyone.
This is all an internal struggle.
Artists do this a lot, even me.
We take very small bits of quotes, interactions, preconceptions, ideas of courtesy, etc.
And then spool it into a sort of logical grind that somehow just stops us from drawing.
Instead of a creativity block, it's more like a made up moral dilemma.
Whether it has any sort of artistic value or not.
It can be very mentally crippling.
To me that's a huge problem.
Because it's not real and a lot of times completely unimportant, even tho it seems to be.
If we create reasons not to move forward with art, especially ones that don't really matter, it's just a huge waste of potential.
I think if you look around Pixelation, or pretty much anywhere, you'll find these sort of feelings to be rampant.
And they are not caused by people enforcing them, just like you said.
They are created internally by the artist.
I'm not sure what exactly I'm trying to say but those are some of my ideas on the subject
It's cool, thanks for weighing in.
I am also just rambling a bit.
