There!

I trace.

I use puppets for Past Sins. I'm a dirty tracer who doesn't have the patience to hand-draw each and every panel.

If you want to know how I use the puppets (cause I don’t own flash):
– I screenshotted every angle (front, 3/4, side, behind 3/4 and back)
– I trace over the body line of the circle of the head and the body
– I copy/paste those traced lines over the sketch I made
– I start to puzzle everything together. I need to make the legs in a pose myself, I need to edit the mouth, ears, and eyes. Mouth, ears and eyes I had to make myself cuz I didn’t trace those.
– I add a mane, tail, horn and wings that are also not traced from that puppet.

I use these puppets!

Dinky's Destiny rigs, Mare puppet (v7.9) by MintyRoot
Dinky's Destiny rigs, Filly/Colt puppet (v0.72) by MintyRoot

So there! Unwatch me if you want to! I'm a dirty hypocrite who traces stuff herself and condemns others who do it.

I know you're watching, you filthy whore-bag so start up some drama again on Derpibooru saying I went to my DA echo chamber. Go ahead, I dare you.

But like you've seen there above the links: I edit these puppets so much that they barely are recognizable from the base. So that's why I thought I shouldn't credit cuz I basically credit MLP.

If the owner of those puppets wants me to credit them, okay, then just tell me. But I noted the owner of four of these puppets and they didn't reply so I thought it was okay. If they wanted to make a fuss then they would've done so ages ago.

Penstroke himself is also not making a fuss about me putting a paywall over ONE comic page.



TLDR
Some douchebag over on derpibooru thinks he can start drama. But here, I admit. Go ahead and unwatch me.

Speaking as someone who’s tried every form of art and failed miserably including tracing I can say that that is just as difficult as every other form of art I’ve ever tried. It takes talent to do it. Basically what I’m saying is you should be proud of what you do, because that is not something everyone could do. I seriously wish I could at least do that much, but I don’t have the skill or patience for it.
