Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I understand both sides tbh...

Like, sure people some artists will feel like their actual talent is being infringed, and in cases of those idiots calling themselves "AI Artists", I agree.

But also, I got an already existing picture of me and my fiancé in a different art style and we both looked cute, also did the picture of my cat. If I wanted a personalized quality cartoon of ourselves it would've cost me at least $150, so for a fun, already existing pic of ourselves I'm ok with it,specially if it's to keep to myself or maybe posting in a "hey check this out lol" way, I'm not saying I'm an artist or claiming is original content.

If I wanted a REALLY special picture made to my specifications by an actual artist, of course it would be worth it since I'd ask them to do a "custom" scene and such (that's the creativity part IMO), but just "translating" an already existing picture, I think is ok as long as you don't claim you're the artist or try and get credit for it either.

I hate this shit. I hate that we've devalued learning how to do new things and being terrible at stuff but doing it anyway for the joy of it. I hate how we need things NOW no matter how crap that makes the final product. Just draw things yourself, it's way more fun even if you're shit at it. It'd rather have 10,000 MS paint doodles than some glossy abomination that only looks OK if you don't look at it too long. I'd rather watch someone slowly improve at something rather than just giving up and having the plagiarism machine do it for them.
