You can clearly tell which ones are the traced ones. And which ones aren’t. Just compare his art, go to his gallery and compare his art.

People couldn’t tell he traced?

jestre I couldn’t because I didn’t know But horse-news is blowing this really high out of proportions. He rarely if ever does so. I know he still does but still. It’s being blowing way out of control.

How is speaking up against someone who is making illegitimate profit out of traced art (which he takes credit for) blowing it out of proportion?

You are telling this to someone who needs money right now.

How do you think people feel when they see that this guy, without putting any hard work into his pieces (other than the hard work of tracing that is) is basically making a living out of it when they are themselves trying to work hard every day to perfect their craft and to maybe SOME DAY be able to make a living out of it?

How do you think they feel when they see a cheater get away with his way? This is how we’ve felt for a while, and thank fuck we are finally able to speak out.

“ He rarely if ever does so“

A) It shouldn't be a thing he does ever if he’s selling it for a profit.
B) An entire SLEW of evidence has popped up that says it’s more common than you think. 
C) He was so blatant about it that he was tracing during a stream. He doesn't care that selling traced art is wrong as long as money can be made off it. 

Drawponies is setting a horrible standard for artists. There are tons of artists like Dennybutt and Al who work their butts off to create high quality art on their own. And Drawponies steals attention and notice from them with 100$ blankets that are traced from clips of the show and smothered in built in photoshop effects. 

That is wrong, and most of all, illegal.
