      the only reason why I use them is because I cannot upload traditional artwork willy nilly like some people, and I do not understand how to use the digital medias like gimp and photoshop.

      i don't have a tablet
      i don't have any of that other francy crap.

      i use a computer mouse to draw my stuff.

      i mean, yes, i'm very good at drawing original stuff,

      but i can't do so on a computer.

      if i had enough money, i would buy a tablet or something like that

      but i cant really afford it.

      i was lucky my mom could even afford this computer, and it sucks ass anyways.

      i mean, it's not like i suck ass at pixeling.
      trust me, i've seen others far more worse than myself.

      and hell, if i could, i would ask the original artists to make bases of their work.
      but y'know, we can't always do that.

      if the original artist doesn't want someone to make a base of their work because they saw it, they have permission to tell them to take it down.

      just saying.

      bases are for people who cannot draw things well on the computer, and who also need help with body practice and anatomy.

      if i never used bases, my traditional artwork would be horrible.
      i learned body proportions and such from using bases.

      so yeha.

      rant is a rant, don't comment if it's bullshit.

I don't have any fancy programs or a tablet or even a scanner and I still think working without bases is easy as pie. It just means lots of undoing and practice of smooth lines. My friend *42whitegirlgangsta42 only uses a mouse and MS paint and she already has people waiting to commission her.

Something base-haters needs to knows is that even if they hate it, all the bases and such doesn't have to disappear just because they want it. They need to stop attack artists and just leave it alone. Most of the base-haters wants attention & shit they don't deserve.

[[OOC: Woah woah bitch, back the FUCK up you dumb shit. "Most of the base-haters wants attention & shit they don't deserve." Thats a god damn lie, let me just.. get THIS SAME DAMN COMMENT I JUST POSTED FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

"That comment really offends me, A friend of mine just doesn't like base users. And honestly, shes RIGHT, base users don't improve by using bases, trust me, i know, i've tried it unu...now i only use bases if i have no ideas.

That doesn't make her a bitch or an attention seeker anyways. Her rant wasn't even towards you, it was in general, im sure you've seen the horrible base edits. Personally, i think you need to calm the fuck down and not go off on those who have "tablets."

And hey guess what!!! I've NEVER HAD A TABLET IN MY LIFE, ALL OF MY WORK IS BY MOUSE OR TOUCHPAD. So that argument there is invalid. Tablets are just for people who wanna go "Oh look at me im better than you cause i have a tablet and you dont"

And as for scanners, i dont even have that anymore, so you know how i get my hand drawn work onto the computer, i take a picture of it, And its alot harder to fix it up."

So guess what bitch, your wrong, now go cry in a fucking corner because i just out logiced your statement :/]]

[ I don't want to start a huge problem, but as a tablet user I'm really offended about the "Tablets are just for people who wanna go "Oh look at me im better than you cause i have a tablet and you dont"" part of your argument. I read that you don't have a tablet and such, but I've tried to use the touch pad and mouse to draw, but it never worked. Tablets can be for the people who are completely hopeless at trying to draw with the mouse and/or touch pad of their computer. Don't assume we get tablets to boast. In fact, more power to you if you have talent and you use your mouse or touch pad, because that's hard for a lot of people. ]

Whatever, I gues I'll let you win this argument, but I still think that hating is wrong. Don't think that I'm trying to offend you. I am sorry if i really hurt you. But if you don't like art involving bases, just ignore them and do your best at art without bases. Just don't attack people who use bases because you don't like it. Simply ignore it and give a nice comment on something traditional, normal digital or pixel art without bases.

Ah, I see. I hope that most of the people who took it all wrong realises their mistake and apologies. Everyone should just be friends.~

Fucking finally! I agree with you 200 percent. I am learning better facial structures thanks to bases. I am learning anatomy with them.

You know, this journal really offends me, not like you care. The fact that I posted my rant about how I think people shouldn't use bases then you posted this just. . . kinda seemed rude to me. Especially since I wasn't POINTING YOU OUT in general. But anyways, I think I should point a few things out here. Feel free to be offended and shit or cuss me out or hide the comment like I'm expecting you to do, which is immature but fuck, what am I saying.

> i don't have a tablet
i don't have any of that other francy crap.


Honestly you don't need a tablet to draw nice. I have a friend who can draw amazingly on the mouse. All it took her was MOTIVATION and PRACTICE, along with time.

> i mean, it's not like i suck ass at pixeling.
trust me, i've seen others far more worse than myself.


personally I don't see base art as 'Pixeling' in the slightest. Pixeling is. . . drawing something with the binary tool in SAI, or the pencil tool in paint or something. Pixeling and base edits are two separate things.

> if the original artist doesn't want someone to make a base of their work because they saw it, they have permission to tell them to take it down.

I don't think a lot of the people that make the stuff originally are interested in dA.
Just because you find an awesome picture of something on google doesn't mean that you can use it even if you can't find who to ask. It just isn't right.

> bases are for people who cannot draw things well on the computer, and who also need help with body practice and anatomy.
if i never used bases, my traditional artwork would be horrible.
i learned body proportions and such from using bases.


I have a friend who's used bases before, and it didn't help them at all. yeah. Proves how much it can 'help'.
Its still tracing, though. I have another friend who got banned for using bases.

I also saw that nice little drawing you did. I mean, you could PRACTICE WITH THE MOUSE and you will GET BETTER, even with Paint. Ever considered that?
One more thing.

> Also because I'm tired of seeing people hating on bases.

I said in my journal that if you were GOING TO GET OFFENDED, then don't read it? Or did you didn't even acknowledge it so you could have a reason to get butthurt? C:

      This is the reason why i'm going to leave dA.

      My journal had no relation to yours. I don't read journals posted by others.
      I didn't even know you posted one until someone pointed it out to me.

      I was just saying in general.

      If you were going to say all this stuff, I would have loved it if you didn't comment. I'm not butthurt.
      I don't act like those stupid trolls.
      I don't hide comments.

      Just leave my opinions alone, even if they're horrible ones.
