Near-perfect Photoshop Trace Overs

It's visually impressive but really defeats the purpose of the game.

I tend to agree. The point is to draw the albums, not to trace them. At that point, you might as well just run a photoshop filter over them. I will probably amend the rules to disallow tracing.

I guess this applies to some of the albums I submitted :/ I don't have much artistic talent but I really wanted to contribute because I really enjoy the sight and doing the albums in GIMP is kind of relaxing and feels rewarding if it comes out nice, I actually downloaded and figured out how to use gimp just for this purpose. But if I submit albums in the future I suppose I can just stick to really crappy drawings with my touch pad or pathing or whatever. It's given me incentive to learn, but I wanted to get albums on the sight so it could grow more cuz i'm enjoying it so much.

Definitely stick to "crappy drawings". It's way more fun trying to figure out what the fuck the artist is trying to draw. If everyone started tracing, we might as well just post actual pictures of the albums with the names blurred out.

Well it seems someone has gotten that idea and is submitting albums that way. Shit, I hate sounding like such a snitch but c'mon man don't be so obvious.

I haven't seen any lately that look that way?

A couple days ago there was someone who was just uploading blurred and pixelized art, those are gone now though.

Enough people reported those albums that they got removed automatically. I should make it clear in the rules that filters does not count as a "drawing".
