Hey, different post than usual, but this is just a PSA for people who may follow or have purchased anything from @/kagebros, or are looking to join any of the zines run by them @/allsparkzines. They have a history (and present) of tracing for profit.
I don’t think this one requires an overlay. It’s a trace of the yolopark bumblebee shockwave model kit promotional image, as a “sketch”.
Which they changed, once people noticed it! Changed most of it. They traced a different promotional image for the gun, which remained largely the same, even in the final piece (right).
Their matching Optimus Prime poster is a trace of the still from a [ Paramount promo video ], 36 seconds in.
There are several other examples that I can’t fit into this post without making it overly long, but if you have purchased or have been gifted anything from them, there is a chance it has been traced.
Regarding tracing as a tool:
Go hogwild! Trace all you want! Tracing is a very useful tool for learning shapes and forms, but like any other tool, it’s only useful if you use it correctly. The ultimate goal of tracing is to understand. It’s training wheels. Just don’t hide and lie about it, because as soon as you do, it becomes plagiarism.
Even within the finished versions of the Shockwave poster, it’s still clear where parts have been traced or copied without understanding. It’s a shame, because transformers as a franchise having so many toys makes it very easy to make references!
Here's an example of how I use them:
Luckily for me, the Cybertron toys and models are more or less exactly the same. I don't own the toys, so I have two images from a [ toy reviewer ] on top. Many angles to help me understand exactly what's happening. Granted, I could just ask my friend who does own the toy for him in the same pose, but tracing over that directly would make it too stiff and it wouldn't mesh with my style.
TL;DR: Kage traces, blindly and without disclosure, for profit.
#kagebros#not art#uh idk what to tag this#but watch out?#I'm sure plenty of their pieces aren't traced but really selling two posters with traced art as the centerpiece is a little... hm..#so sue me for being wary ig#take this as you will#edit: remember when I just thought it was two posters. better times#IGNORE HOW WIDE THE REF IMAGES ARE my friends and i were watching the 1080p upscale but for some reason the uploader fuckin#stretched the video out to fit the new aspect ratio instead of keepin it the og#but we didn't know? and didn't notice? until like. we were almost done#and then my friend was like hey guys uh they're not supposed to be this wide actually#uhhhh well thanks for reading if anyone read this to the end!#it's very disheartening to see ppl trace shit and then table with it like... what the hell am i doing then#edit: i also think my friend's cybertron optimus is buried under 50 boxes and askin him to move that much for a toy is a lil embarrassing#tfcon#tfcon baltimore

reread edited what currently exists of my DP Wolfwalkers AU fic. here are all my favourite lines in no particular order & lacking context
#Danny Phantom#Wolfwalkers AU#out of context fic spoilers#i actually really love compiling lines/paragraphs that i love like this. makes it easier to find them#will probably do this with FOtPoD also but it might take a while since. well. that shit is long as fuuuuuucckkkk#i should do it with P(N&I) too i love that fic#fun fact editing this actually added a few hundred words. idk how#i WAS just meaning to reread but i got so into it i also started doing some heavy editing#it's close to 50% done i really need to finish it already. i want to READ it!!!!!!!!!#i love all the little foreshadowing i put in too. this fic actually has a twist that i planned from pretty early on#so i don't need to edit all that in later! it's already there#actually i think i'll make up a tag for this kind of post. for organizing purposes

TAYLOR TOWNSEND [USA] & KATEŘINA SINIAKOVÁ [CZE] in their runners'-up speeches || WTA FINALS RIYADH DOUBLES FINAL || 11 09 2024
#sorry. i thought i was done and then i decided i was not.#taylor townsend#katerina siniakova#wta finals#ms.gifs#i tried to make the text different enough in color i hope its legible :(#i usually do white or yellow but it was ruining the aesthetic to use yellow and i felt bad giving only one of them a nice aesthetic color#but the background is pretty dark so i could only use really light/bright pinks/purples.............ah well.#i keep trying to formulate a joke about katka and all of her doubles partners being in love with her but none of them are hitting well#so i guess take that as the joke.#there's like a 50/50 chance you walk away from a doubles partnering with katerina siniakova completely obsessed with her#and honestly? understandable#proven by science or something. idk#i am also obsessed#comms were hyping her up a bunch after the match#not to be too selfish here but would anyone care to ask her if she'd be interested in dragging karo along for one of her exploits#she might be the only player capable of carrying karo's flopism to a trophy

im so glad empanada, even after a tough day, got to have that talk and hug with richas and then bagi where em got some lovely advice about dealing with grief from richas & talked about what went wrong during the day
but i can't help but contrast this with sunny. sunny who empanada still hasn't seen. sunny whose been alone for days. sunny whose talked with almost no one. sunny who doesn't know bad is dead. sunny whose pretending tubbo isn't dead. sunny who got no goodbye. sunny who got no long talks about grief. sunny who got no explanations. sunny who no one visited today. sunny whose birthday is tomorrow. sunny who no one will wake up for first tomorrow
#qsmp#qsmp sunny#qsmp empanada#it's giving em and sunny being separated so long post em's first death#but also 50 times worse#they're sisters your honour they should be together#idk if sunny and leo will have talked off stream or not#but presumably she's done something with her mystery friend#we are for sure going to get angst from sunny tomorrow if only someone stays long enough to see it#also off topic but i think the em interaction with mike was fine#yes he clearly wasn't successful in cheering her up but she seemed to appreciate the attempt#even if it probably left her feeling a little like her feelings were her fault for not being able to cheer up#and he did apologize for barging into her room and left#i don't think he's in her bad books at all#she could definitely tell he cared and she was much more visibly frustrated with bagi#which they luckily had some resolution over#me once again writing one post in the text and another in the tags lmao

sillay kitty comic (cw animal abandonment ?? but it's fine.)
#witch hat tag#orufrey#for 'creature' whatober.. ermm i wouldnt have done this otherwise.. i bunch up drawings when the quality is low..idk how to draw cats.....#don't doubt that olly has a traumatic backstory too or it's not them. obviously he was rescued in the snow but not everyone made it..etc..😭#cats have poor memories. it's fine. they're fine. my cat was a rescue kitten and looked exactly like qifrey does at the beginning of this#i channelled the emotions from when i picked that tiny fluffy man up and he fell asleep in my hands.#i might delete this later since it's. Very silly and scrabbly#you know at first i was annoyed when i saw someone call beru-sama old. i was like HES NOT OLD !!!!!!!!!!!! but now i'm becoming one of them#if i choose to see qifrey as 30 now then he found him like. 23 years ago...he's probably literally just like. 50s. please

cr3 is gonna end and the pc’s still feel like the same people to me :|
(crcritical content in the tags feel free to skip)
#cr spoilers#cr critical#the pacing of this campaign was shot to shit from the start and i really hope mercer learns from this and takes it into account for cr4#i actually think they need to do mini seasons like d20 does. not in the way that they’re all completely separate from one another but#the way the unsleeping city had multiple seasons or a crown of candy or fantasy high. connected arcs in a bigger story#it would give mercer more time to plan and pace things and would give both cast and crew more time to prepare things#bc this campaign was. frantic. just full speed ahead with no breathing room. it’s a marathon sprint#i still feel like the initial assault on the key was like. maybe a few months ago#IT WAS A YEAR!!!!#what do you MEAN this campaign took place over five months!!! these people don’t know each other!!!! I don’t know them!!!!!!#VM knew each other for YEARS TM9 traveled for a YEAR together#CR3 viewers have been talking about a time skip happening as though it’s a guarantee!!! TM9 didn’t end with a time skip and guess what!!#It was a good ending!!! Maybe a few loose threads but they were easily touched upon later with no issues#like idk ppl are allowed to like or even love cr3 i have no issue with that. i just think that from a storytelling perspective it’s just#so poorly paced and i think both fans and players deserve better than to be thrown into world ending stakes immediately#the initial assault on the malleus key felt like an endgame event and it was like fifty episodes in. Tm9 got to xhorhas around episode 50#characters deserve time to marinate. cr3 is a pressure cooker#don’t even get me started on braius’ inclusion. sam i’m sure your character is cool and complicated but he’s been here for like 20 eps#i dont know this man#also i feel like shorter seasons/separate arcs woven together would account more for people’s personal lives and any medical issues#like what happened with sam. ppl were hounding him asking for his return meanwhile he was being treated for CANCER like I can’t imagine#dealing with that kind of pressure. players deserve privacy however they can get it.#(also fgc’s death is to me the only narratively satisfying thing to happen in cr3 i’m not kidding#fucking perfect setup and execution. exquisitely done on mr riegel’s part#laudna has also had some great story beats along with imogen but i think matt fucked up making delilah come back i really do)#anyway all the love to the cr crew and cast if you see this ily and your stories i just think pacing needs to be taken into account#“they’re just friends sitting at a table playing dnd” i don’t think they are anymore actually#obviously they’re still friends playing dnd but like. cr3 feels so produced and i dont mean that in a good way :[ it feels so corporate#off topic i am SO FUCKING EXCITED for the switch to daggerheart! I think it’ll really breathe some new light and life into exandria!!!

doctor gorey save me
#my art#tgaac#dgs2#maria gorey#girls with no concept of personal space or common boundaries#'why are you still alive' girl idk i'm sorry i guess#i love not doing lineart btw i love turning my cleaned sketch darker and calling it a day#i haven't done like this kind of shading in a longass time so forgive me if it looks funky#i just wanted to share this since i haven't posted art in 50 billion years#i've done plenty of sketching but idk if people wanna see that#i am a big fan of maria gorey in ways i can't word very well#but i think what it comes down to is the autism and desire to be better than her mother#but still loving and respecting her so much#taking her ideals and skills and using them to pursue the truth and ultimately justice#also the making plushies to practice on and being so very inexpressive#the mask comes ON in moments of uncertainty#she just wants friends!! it was fun for her to have visitors#she's just a little silly like that

MARIA HAS A SISTER?!??
#After over 2 decade this is now added information on her family#That so depressing that her family basically replaced her with the new healthy child#Cannot tell if in hindsight they would have done that if Maria was w them n still lived w them they would have neglected her#Or if she died the new child would have immediately been her replacement of what could have been#But there no way to tell since Gerald was the one to take her n keep her despite her family going like 'either cure her or give her back'#Omg what a shitty situation for a child to be in#N it also understandable why every other family that wasnt Maria n grandpa would not look fondly at her#Since it seems like Gerald was obsessed w her especially after finding out her illness#I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up ignoring everybody that wasn't her in family wise#N why he was so hell bent on hoping shadow would be her friend then when finding out she died he crashed out#UFG#the ark story will always be a top in term of seriousness in the silly ways of the characters#Oml#I WOULD HAVE OBESS W THIS AS A CHILD TBH#I HAD AN OC (as a child) THAT WAS LIKE GIVING MARIA A YOUNGER SIS N NOW THAT CANON??#Insane oml#N she should be alive too? Given it 50+#Oh Maria robotnik the tragedy that u r#Idk if I'm the biggest fan of expanding stuff on a preorder item so that it not as accessible#Or the fact Maria family has been expanded but we will never know of them but whatever ig that a more me thing#Not liking characters having relatives n then never knowing what they look like

up next on chapter 36 of idol sengen… _(:3 」∠)_
#(my toxic trait is that i’ll complain about my work endlessly but still end up doing it anyway… eventually.)#there’s rant 1 (ft. a need to deduce what asuna is saying in full) and rant 2 (which is available in full but still…)#there’s also another mona-rambling session in chapter 38… that im not touching with a 50 foot pole#(all you need to know for that mona-rambling [about frusu] is that mona’s frusu oshi is all of them)#(and that she thinks miyu is like *the* pinnacle of centres in idol groups)#(also someone won a junior dance competition but idk who bc it’s obscured lmao)#can i outsource these panels for a corn chip lmaoooo#m. maybe i should’ve actually worked on this while i was still unemployed last month huh…#bc excuse me company wdymmmmmm im starting work next monday?? the interview was just this monday hello?#ig the interviewer was legit when she said ‘so if i asked you if you can start work next monday—’ huh…#sigh… maybe ch 36 next month then… i’ll do my best over the weekend thoughhhhh#seriously though why is this volume so text heavy l m a o i really wanna get to chapter 40 but…#and then there’s the hard to clean text boxes which… aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#…though i guess i should just count myself lucky that the chapters are still short enough to fit into a single post (with the image limits)#but dang. i just realised that my manga sengen thing has a page on manga updates lmao#who put it there lmaooooo and why is it only up till vol 2? wait. no. what. why does it link to manga.dex#bc dang. someone really had the time to dl the thing image by image? no wonder why they stopped after vol 2…#guess i might as well say why i dont want people to reupload my tls… since we’re in the final stretch and all#so. aside from the obvious ‘idw the creators to find out about it’… i probably made a ton of mistakes while tling it. esp in the early chaps#so i’d like to. y’know. have the chance to update the tls where possible. i’ve done that a couple of times already tbh.#like with rippei’s name post-vol 4 release. and some of the typesetting is p. gross in the early chaps tbvh#i swear tling idol sengen has made me incredibly conscious of grammar and typesetting like you wouldnt believe#esp with official tls… fan tls will always be perfect to me no matter how wonky the wording bc it’s hard but honest work yk#official tls (esp a.i tls) get no concessions from me bc it’s their job that they’re getting paid to do yk.#in any case (if you’ve read this far) if you see any mistakes in the tl please lemme know~~~ please dont hold back on your criticisms ok~~~?#just sound ‘em out in dms here or sth. don’t worry~~~ i won’t eat y’all if you try to correct me~~~~~ unless you’re the md reuploader (jk)#and ik i disabled comments on the other blog (or tried to at least) but that’s bc idw bots to flood the comments bc that’s annoying as he—#anyways sorry for the idol sengen wait (if anyone was waiting for it…) i’ll improve on my work ethic… tomorrow. maybe.

Does anybody else feel like mental health awareness has done very little to help them in material reality
#i was gonna say done nothing to help but that seemed too harsh#like there definitely is more knowledge about it now. maybe more people feel comfortable speaking about it which is good#but personally i don't feel that. like idk. workplaces will post about mental health awareness and then do nothing to help employees#the same w universities. my uni cut back the already meager mental health support#and then the government is doing absolutely fuck all as well#like idk im just back in a place i thought id gotten out of long ago and i still don't feel comfortable talking about it with people#maybe that's a me problem or maybe it's cultural or something idk. but in the 10 years ive been depressed (🫠) i don't think it's gotten a#whole lot better. teenagers are still dealing with the same shit i did and they're still not being taken seriously#women's mental health is not even spoken about.....anxiety depression sh eds etc are still ignored or seen as hysterical behaviour in women#or just normal esp with disordered eating. society hasn't changed people still want women to be stick thin and weak#like i know 10 years is a short time and there has been massive improvements in mh awareness if we look back over the past 50+ years#but idk i just think that it hasn't gotten better for a lot of people#i think specifically of belfast and like god. the amount of trauma there is the amount of homelessness the amount of substance abuse#drug abuse in particular that has gotten visibly worse over the past decade or so*#and i connect the dots n see the 2008 recession + a tory gov defunding the nhs + dehumanisation of homeless people & addicts + the troubles#+ ptsd + generational trauma + a negative peace + classism + paramilitary drug dealers + parties linked to those paramilitaries#and its like hmmmm i think we live in a society. and a mental health approach based on individual actions like journaling and meditation#isn't the way to go. or at least is not the be all and end all which is what a lot of mental health awareness raising seems to promote#*visibly worse on the streets. it was always a problem ofc but even a decade ago my parents never imagined it would be as bad as it is now#and it's become so normalised. i do think there's less individualism here than there seems to be elsewhere which can be good and can be bad#but i think we are becoming more and more individualistic. slowly. there's still a sense of community here but i do think it's changing#and callousness towards homeless people is one of the most obvious examples of this.#love when i put a wee asterisk in the tags of a post. like i have A Lot To Say lol
