Talk:Tips for Making an OC/@comment-10233964-20130601110056

Why the heck is everybody here so "OMG Base is criminal stealing" or "If you use bases it's plagiarism!" Taht isn't true.

How can it be criminal stealing when you make something own out of a base, so that it is only the pose which is really "stolen"? And how can a pose be "stolen"? Do they have copyright on the poses? So we aren't allowed to pose the same way or we might get sued if Mattel finds out? Don't you think that is silly?

And how could it be plagiarism? My definition of this word is something like "Take something that already exists and claim it as your own". You don't do that when you use bases. You will normally make major changes on it.

Yes we could argue about that OCs here that are exactly like a Canon but with only the eyecolor, the dress, the haircolor, the whatever changed...But hey, others are using Dollmakers so they wouldn't even have the trouble changing something. They are just putting together what somebody else already did. And they are not as much under attack as those who dare to use bases.

Don't get me wrong, I don't care how OCs are made. I know not everyone can be good at drawing but still wish to create an OC. I just hate it that wherever I go here someone is complaining about "Base-Users". You should check Deviantart and see all the creations that was made with bases and you wouldn't even notice!

I myself started with using bases. Now, I'm making bases on my own. Everyone has to start small. So please cut it out okay? Be nice to each other. We are here together because we share the same obsession ;)
