Re: 10th anniversary art contest

[Veleor]

Thank you for your opinion sir, I posted it because there are no specific rules for posting an old artwork. What we cannot do is steal other's artwork and posted it to the contest. <...>

To my mind, new artworks should be in priority, otherwise the contest will turn into an exhibition of old ideas, without the need to create something fresh.
Also you had raised an interesting question, whether the painting 'Crypto guy' that you posted can be rightfully considered yours.
Despite the fact that you are the author, but after you sold it to TECSHARE, then now it belongs to him practically.

I understand your opinion sir, and I respect it.

I am local artist here in Philippines and attended several auction and seminars about art. Yes, the painting will be still mine as long as it is existed. The physical painting will be for TECSHARE, he can sell it for any amount and I don't have control for that, but when he is going to sell it, the credits will be in my name. It will be considered mine as long as it is existed, but I will have no rights for any activity that painting will be involved with. That is actually a good question sir  Thank you. 

BTW,  I am making a new one for the contest. 
I hope this will be finished today.

I purchased the physical piece of art. I do not own the rights to use the image as I please, that was not part of my agreement. Yatsan is within the law to use the image they painted in any way they decide. I should add having some experience in production graphic arts, the law is pretty clear on this. I think it is a great piece of work and am very happy with it BTW. I like the new one, you still have plenty of time, don't rush it!

[jayguar]

I too feel users should give due credit for images taken online. If stock images are used, the user should have the rights to use the image, provided the given stock image does not form the majority / all of the design. I think the high merits given by Theymos could be him appreciating the art / design work and that the art / design would have been entirely created by the said user. This contest could be for fun but that does not mean that it should be filled with  plagiarized or copyrighted content. This essentially mocks people who have put in the effort to create the art / design work themselves. There are however some truly incredible art / design work in this contest. I've also seen some users who have posted art / design work that is someone else's but they have pointed that out and have also not given their BTC addresses in those posts showing how it should be done if the art / design work is not theirs. BTW, @Yatsan, your art works are amazing.

[taufik123]

Those who publish their old work may deliberately not explain if the work has been published. Because they think they will definitely get more appreciation. Meanwhile, for works that are actually just made a little, they get an appreciation. The jury must be more selective in determining who deserves to be a winner.

There's no need to explain that in the thread because there's no rule stopping us from doing that. I don't post it for appreciation I posted it for the contest. If you appreciate my artwork, I would be pleased! But if not, it's just fine, I cannot force people to like my artwork we have different kind of taste with regards to an artwork.

I understand if you didn't like my painting, we have a different perspective in terms of appreciating an art. Still, I gave my 100% to that, and I hope you can understand that. Just because it's old artwork, it doesn't mean I don't put effort into it.

Yes, I understand and I appreciate your artwork, regardless of the old artwork or not, I still appreciate it. As @veleor said, new artwork must be prioritized for this contest, so it does not turn into an exhibition of old ideas. I'm glad you have critical thoughts about the artwork you have.

I am waiting for your new artwork and I will appreciate it. Keep on working, brother.

We are almost 3days away from knowing the top art design in bitcointalk art contest. Theymos said " Based mainly on commumity consensus" but not influenced by the merits received from other people.

So this argument between old art that has been submitted and new art that has been "plagiarized" but still given certain merit is out of context. Cause theymos will be the one to pick the winners.

I'm just curious how this community consensus will be done? Is there a voting system by DT or people here prior to ending date of the contest?

In my opinion, contest participants should tell up front if they posting images which have been created on the third-party online services. Otherwise, there are such incidents happen.

I am sure I will not get anything out of my small effort for this, but oh well, at least I contributed:

Address: no addess, just for fun

Happy Anniversary

BTC Address : 13qVPk1TFbhMVysRARpfHxmyTVDFpYeYre

<...> You must be joking, right? You just photoshopped  another submission  that was posted 2 days ago <...>

<...> No , I am not joking, I do not use photoshop. I create this photo by using photofunia App.

An image that can be finished in just a few seconds
only.,   theymos will also know if this is a work created only by third-party online applications. It was very clear and there was no attempt to make a little other touch to make it different  . There are lots of pictures like this.
these participants only enlivened the contest.

This image of a pirate, with a parrot on the shoulder and feet on the bitcoin chest, reminded me the scammer pirateat40 who stole bitcoins in 2012.
There is an island on the picture also, behind the pirate, and at the same time there is info in the pirateat40 profile that he is located on his own island.


Source

Trendon Shavers (known as Pirateat40 or simply Pirate) was the operator of the largest scam in bitcoin history: he operated a ponzi scheme which initially promised a guaranteed a daily profit of 1%, and then disappeared with an unknown amount of bitcoins in August 2012. Thoughts were that the amount was about 500,000 bitcoins, valued around US $5 million at the time. These amounts were soon quashed once investigators realized a large hoard of coins found in their analysis did not belong to Pirate, but instead to a black market website with which Pirate used to mix his funds to hide the actual amounts he had held/stolen.

Hi, my picture for contest was just deleted.
I think it can be considered as art, there's even no nudity here.

Even generated funny addresss for that 1Boobs299CpbpW9PhxTQ348e3fXvGpugv2

Could I please have your opinion, thanks.

NSFW images are not allowed in this contest.

NSFW images are not allowed in this contest.

Yes, they are (theymos wouldn't have given 50 merits to mine if they weren't), but they must be linked, not embedded (using [url] instead of [img] tags), and the link must be marked NSFW.

IMO, this one crossed the line between "Adult" (NSFW) and "Pornography".
Based on experience w/ flagged artworks, arts that include grabbing the genitals or bust in a provocative way (even clothed) were considered as porn.

In your case, I'd say it's way beyond NSFW that's why it was deleted.

[malevolent]

Could I please have your opinion, thanks.

Doesn't even look NSFW to me but some other mod must have thought otherwise... Post it again and add "NSFW" before the non-hotlinked imgur image.

It's more erotica than pornography, not like the latter should be a problem if it's properly marked.

Did anybody face any problem with merit that send by theymos for the 10th-anniversary contest? I have faced some problem when theymos sent me merits for second time that, I see, I received some merits in my merit history but when I click on the link of which post merited, But I can not find any merit on the post that send by theymos. I have also checked others' profiles for making me sure. But I also faced the same problem/error on others' profiles too.

[nc50lc]

-snip-

AFAIK, the maximum merit a member can send per month is 50 and theymos already sent 50 to your first post.
Although he managed to send more than 50, you only received the maximum.

Here's hilariousandco's post about it: FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit

Is there a limit on how many merits I can send?

Yes. You can give a max of 50 merit to a user every 30 days.

Of course I will. I already added it!   My children were sick. I am sorry for my late answer.
When the winners are identified, I will build a special wall for the winners.
