Inspiration Versus Stealing

~CursedMoonlight:iconCursedMoonlight: reports, December 16, 2007
Most everyone has seen an artist say, "You can be inspired by this, but you cannot take it." What is the difference? What IS Inspiration?


What is Inspiration? What is stealing?
Inspiration is the state of mind in which you want to and have ideas for something of your own from other things.

Stealing is when you take someone's picture and deface it, saying it is yours since you recolored it.

Can you give me an example?
My Character, Zaidon Chaster ( [link] [link] ) Looks like no other character that I've seen on dA. Hedgiepowa's Dark Xaider ( [link] [link] ) was my inspiration to create him.

They don't look alike, not at all. They're very ifferent- in fact, Xaider's entire story and Zaidon's have NOTHING in common except the fact that under control, Zaidon does the same as Xaider's title proclaims. You can't tell that Zaidon had ANYTHING to do with Xaider.

Poses can also be re-used. If you found a popse that was just great, and you drew it, but used your own character, then that's alright.

If you say, "Inspired by So-and-so's picture/character" (Filling in the person's character/picture), then you have no problems with it.

It all boils down to one fact: You can make characters off other characters as long as they don't look alike. Inspiration is great- but stealing is not! Be sure you know the difference!

Stealing is more than defacing. It is incorporating other people's work into your own or copying or reproducing it in some fashion without authorization.

Interesting topic.

Thank you, and I do realize that. How I forgot to put it in the article, I don't know. >.<

very nice artical. my charie, ZOdiac, was inspired by :iconallhailshadow:s Jericho. However, I got the idea to make Zodiac part vampire, from Jericho. Is this stealing?

No, that's a simple detail. It isn't the character's main point, or the character's life data.

I wish more people would be inspired to make art rather than steal it, change one pixel, (or none at all), and the repost it "As their own".

:thumbsup: It's always good to remind people not to steal.

Like, if you copied every aspect or the most original one, it'd be theft. But a half-vampire character is common- as long as you don't copy everything or the most original part of Jericho.

I hope I'm making sense.

Okay, good. ^-^

(Half-vampires are common, but the name Jericho and that kind of thing are not, you get my picture.)
