I cant believe hbomberguy plagiarized this video
He felt like he could get away with it too
Yea how dare he
He didn’t even put a link to this video in the description
I bet his mum is very proud
Look, he put that it was based on this video in the title crawl, it's like crediting sources.
I can’t believe Tommy Tallarico wrote and edited this video all by himself
his mom is very proud :)
This is factually incorrect. James Somerton clearly wrote this part!
@@beth7609 his mom is also very proud.
@@Blinks77just as a warning: Somerton’s mother is dead, and people defending Somerton like to act like anyone making this joke know that.
@@EllieBee542 Wait, is this actually true? Did he say that?
So this is the Manhattan Project that would flatten Somerton 6 years later.
Absolutely genius wordplay there.
watching Harry talk about plagiarism for 4 hours wasnt enough for me, so i had to dig deep for more.
i didn't even look for this video, it showed up in my recommendations
Saaaaaame!!!!
I followed Luke for years. Last night I stumbled across that 4h long video on plagiarism.. and Luke came up. I Couldn't believe it. first I thought it was a joke. So ofc I had to see the full video on this topic. Idk how to feel now.
I think most, if not all RUclipsrs plagerise in the beginning. They always take or steal ideas.
I mean, how many times you've watched a critique of a game and days later u get recomended another video on the same topic from another one?
My point is: this is how they start, they take inspiration, steal, copy paste content from multiple successful videos, and with time, over the years, I believe they truly develop they're own style and spin on the topics as they grow more confident.
While I don't always agree with his opinions, I think Luke Stephans today is a totally different person than what he was 6 years ago. And I do think he has strong independent opinions.
@@dailyhubranx i watch Luke's channel too. He has since owned up to both copying the video and responding poorly to the criticism for that. He has absolutely since responded appropriately and absolved himself in my estimation.
@@chrisgenovese8188 when we went to school, and we had homework, and essays to write... What did we do ? Copy, plagiarise. Same with RUclips, but with time you grow u learn , develope your own style.
I never expected for this to get a sequel, but here we are
A whole 6 years later.
@@Shala_Boi it's like Avatar 2, but longer and better

It cooked pretty well!
Next week: LukiePoo released a new video: "I don't like Sherlock very much, I'll tell you about it"
"Here's three different tales about plagiarism in youtube"
*"Shows Hbomb in the video"*
Ironically this comment that I made, in a sense, is plagiarism, isn't it?
"Fallout 3 is trash, and here's why"
how about "Fallout 3 betrays Fallout Series and Here's why"
if you watch his video it explains how he got the same idea
SkyOut Agreed
The last guy wasn't plagiarizing you - he was doing an American dub of your video.
Ha! Haha!
Sorry, I have nothing to add, that was just a clever comment.

HBOMB would shamelessly plagiarise this 6 years later
I mean,it's incredible how nothing changed in the past six years, the fact that a huge RUclipsr like Hbomberguy can just regurgitate the hard work of the little guys like that and get almost 3 times as many views is just disgusting
Agreed, he clearly stole this and added nothing but 4 hours of original content on top! I counted.
@@TuomasStarckso like 1% of his video length
Foreshadowing is a dramatic device in which an important plot point is mentioned early in the story to return later in a more significant way.
*literary device.
“Dramatic” can refer to story-telling in general, or at least plays, while “literary” is exclusive to written stories, which ignores that plays, musicals, tv shows, etc. can all have foreshadowing as well.
@@Fionacle It's a reference to HBomb's "OOF" video. Early on he says "Foreshadowing is a literary device in which--"
@@BFedie518 Oh, I’m sorry! Thank you!
@@Tp_hedgelinghog I was also quoting A Very Potter Musical here :p
I like how in Weegee's video, when comparing the Yeti to his audio in the beginning, there's hardly any noticeable difference.
On top of that, Weegee purposefully set up the Yeti wrong to make it sound as bad as possible.
and even with the wrong setup, it somehow managed to sound pretty good.
waymuu I know, right? Maybe I'm not the best person to ask (seeing as I'm hearing impaired), but the only difference I could tell is that he yelled more the second time around.
There's a buzzing in the background, because he set it up wrong on purpose.
I just checked and I had to wear my good headphones to notice it. Most youtube viewers, I'm willing to bet, don't have super duper fantastic audio setups that would be able to tell "oh, there's a buzz, there's not enough mid-end, they overdid the noise reduction"
"Notice how this sounds clear (yadda yadda) and this sounds like garbage?"
Nope. I'm listening to this on my Blackberry's speaker in the bathroom.
they still make Blackberry's?
@@WatchMeSayStuff They did up to a few years ago (way past when most people stopped buying them), iirc they're focusing on security software for other companies now.
I was wearing headphones and hardly anything changed :/
Best is how he increases the base sound for his studio setup during that example, but does not do it for the rest of the video. Making it sound like he's using the Blue Yeti for the whole video. That kind of proves that you don't need an expensive setup, because I can't tell them apart (aside from that overproduced small example).
My four year old hauwei syas there literly isn't a difference and that his voice is just super annoying.
The worst part about “Lukiepoo” is he rebranded as Luke Stephens and found success through no doubt ripping off many other creators.
Yup
I wondered why his voice sounded so familiar and him ripping of other creators would certainly explain why the videos of him that i watched seemed to lifeless and hollow
It's the epidemic of bad faith yt analysis. It's everywhere, so many ignorant or just downright hateful people talking about all sorts of things they don't even really care about. So many people are just grifting now it's so sad
@@Lin_Eileen Easy recipe is to trawl the "hot take" Reddit groups. There you will find an opinion, you will find pro and contra arguments and backgorund as discovered or sometimes misremembered by several other people partaking in the conversation. You don't even have to investigate anything, engage with media or source material, or have an opinion. All the ingredients for a formulaic essay are right there, including a clickbait premise. Isn't it perfect?
I doubt he's ripping off people anymore, because his critiques are so awful that nobody else but him could have written them lol

I can't believe this is only 17 minutes long.

This video made me overly paranoid that I'm accidentally ripping off someone.
Eric Taxxon I think that's the point.
Eric Taxxon ripping off to this extent has to be done on purpose and with full knowledge of what you are doing.
I'm pretty sure it's actually a thing to accidentally repeat someone else's ideas as if they're your own. It's not always intentional, but then if you catch yourself having done it and don't own up, that's when it's BS. There's a huge difference between repeating an idea and recreating it wholesale though.
Don't worry about it, if it happens accidentally, just apologize and move on.
M8, i've seen your videos, and watch them often, trust me your magical digital overlay vomit visuals are rather unique.

Plagiarism, _the Prequel_
It even has a cameo of Lukie Poo!
This is what a nice quality microphone sounds like, AND THIS IS WHAT A SHITTY ONE THAT I"M SHOUTING INTO SOUNDS LIKE
as a person who uses microphones on drumkits, vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, i can say, with a certain (relatively low amount of) authority on the subject, the blue yeti is perfectly acceptable mic for its price. if you want to record for youtube, whether vocal audio or an acoustic instrument, the yeti is going to deliver, youtube is gonna compress the audio anyway. My only recommendation if your option is a Yeti is to look a little cheaper. Blue is basically the name brand for USB microphones, so they overcharge. Look at Samson or other brands that are cheaper but can deliver the same quality. DONT cheap out on a Blue Snowball or Blue Ice, those are actual dog trash. Using an XLR Mic is the next level. Either youve done youtube for a year or so and have the ability to upgrade, or youre looking to do more professional voice acting or recording for a band, thats when you take the leap towards an XLR connection.
Oh damn. He went back in time to spread the word about plagiarism.
And nearly 3 years later and Luke Stephens (Having dropped the name Lukiepoo as fast as he did that Bloodborne video) is still chasing that spotlight with C-list video essays skimming off a mix of other creators, fan forums and other easily reappropriated non-copyright protected intellectual material repackaged it under his own clickbait label, complete with trend chasing content and target times. I'd like to say things were learned but it seems his skills at reading the winds of internet media still far eclipse any actual creative ones.
its' honestly fascinating, I very ocassionaly hatewatch his videos.
And I genuinelly don't understand how someone can feel so qualified to talk about things, with like all the bells and whistles of videoessays about like, stuff. Yet entirely and completely take every single bit from elsewhere, or just be completely objectively wrong. (Like, he'll criticise a game for things that do not actually exist, because he misinterpreted someone else's tweet or something, or will just say shit like he 100% death stranding in 40 hours)
The only like actual opinions of his you can gleam are just bizarre non-sense ones, like he complained that it's pretentious to havep eople cry in games.
he's a trump fan with a degree in corporate finance, of course he hasn't learned anything
@@bloodmachine6049 I've only ever seen the infamous Bloodborne video (And to his credit then, that was before I knew Hbomb existed.) But even still it was so in-line with the decades long fanboy yawping of how special FROM game's were back then it struck me as utterly bland and unspecial of the time, and that was before knowing how thoroughly he plagiarized.
"Bloodborne was cool because no shields" This meme wasn't original, it was in people's heads since the first of the e3 trailers. It was passed around as shorthand for how much more hardcore it was going to be over Dark Souls or something.
Luke just took the ideas with mass appeal like that and ran with them, inserting his own vapid praise for the game between segments.
Hbmob uses it in his video as a jumping off point to how DS and BB informed gameplay differently.
In retrospect, it would be obvious where to draw the line between other''s takes and his own happy little anecdotes if for how detached they were from what he was actually talking about. He probably didn't have enough critical or editing know how to make a smoother transition between idea and just glued them together that way.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if his interest in games as mechanics exists solely to affect an air of someone who knows what he's talking about on the internet. I hear he's grown pretty toxic in recent years, but it's really kind of pathetic when you put it all in perspective.
I actually really like Luke’s channel. Didn’t know about this plagiarism, though. That sucks.
@@derekg5674 I implore you, watch literally anything else and you'll get more value out of it. (any point of his that you've heard is nigh-definitelly just plagiarised, or fabricated)
Thank you Tommy Tallerico for this excellent video.
This video is like going back to demon souls after elden ring
Most underrated prequel of all time:
its not a prequel, the four hour video is a sequel
So this was a trailer then?
Loved the vid, great job, just some feedback:
When you're showing clips of videos, it'd be really helpful if you indicated that with titles. It was confusing at times trying to figure which was WeeGee and which was Soul.
It's especially confusing at first when you're showing clips of your own vids and trying to figure out that it's not you making THIS video but showing your past work.
Hmm that Lucas Poop fella seems like he's up to no good, I wonder if he'll ever insert homophobic rants into a stolen review.
Sir where did you hone your powers of prophecy
This was recommended to me after watching your latest video, Plagiarism and You(Tube). I hadn't seen this one before, as I wasn't familiar with you when you posted it six years or an estimated four hbomberguy videos ago, but I'm very glad to have the added context now.
It's a bit disheartening that some observations you make in this about RUclips trends and plagiarism of style, ideas, and content remain so relevant, but I'm also glad that you continue to bring attention to it now. I hope that some creators out there have actually taken these messages to heart and made an effort to improve. Even if they may do so simply because they now recognize the potential backlash they could receive if they continue shameless copying of others' work, it does open up the door for more original and inspired work, and might even result in some people finding their own voice when they otherwise might not have. So thanks, Harry.
SEEING THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED AFTER THAT LAST VIDEO IS WILD
This is just the demo of the new video
Who came here from the 4 hours video he just released?
This seems pretty thorough I doubt Mr bomberman has much more to say on the topic
Huh, I wonder why this video came back up in my recommended.
Oh shit yo thats a jojo refrence
Actually it was a reference to ME! DIO!

This is where it all begun
"i want to make videos where if i saw them, i'd be convinced and learn something"
kinda unrelated but your videos on Sherlock and Social Justice related stuff has had that effect, and this is coming from someone who used to hang out with people who proudly called themselves Alt-Right.

signed, some rando in the comments.
I'll echo the other rando and say that's far more effort than most folks put into their politics. Hope you're doing better here!
character growth, you love to see it. hope you're still doing well 6 years later
one casting director i know (who is also a voice actor) uses a blue yeti, as do i. they’re literally fine! he’s even said that, in a pinch, you could submit an audition with your phone mic (say if you’re on vacation), and like it won’t be perfect, but it’ll be fine! basic mics have gotten so good these days. i’ve seen a couple casting calls that say “XLR required,” but other than that, you can get away with a blue yeti just fine as long as you can edit your audio. what a weird thing to get mad at
My film school used blue yetis as standard; they aren’t amazing, but they do work, and they do pretty much everything actually important or useful well enough that you can usually fix any real issues in editing
I feel like they almost use it as a substitute for knowing good sound engineering and miking technique. I’ve seen this tendency among guitar players as well: if you have top-shelf pro gear, it’s a substitute for knowing what you’re doing with it.

The prequel
The prequel to the prequel
Oh shit, that dude who ripped off your Dark Souls video is in some shit today.
Also, I don't even really like Dark Souls but I watched that whole damn thing and loved it.
He ripped of the Bloodborne video, not the Dark Souls II video.
But I agree, both (the originals) are great to watch.
It's all one big thing to me, tbh. They aren't "my games," so it's really just the design stuff I'm interested in.
Peter Coffin same
He also completely mistook the "gateway drug" point to mean that Bloodbornr gives you a high. If he's gonna steal lines he should at least try and comprehend the lines.

Oh so the 4 hour vid that shook yt and sent James Somerton out of the YT game was a tbt topic late sequel huh
I hope the sequel, _Five_ Stories Anout RUclips Plagiarism, isn't too long.

Oh yeah? If plagiarism video is so good, where's plagiarism video 2?
Do I have news for you
Good news
😁
lol
This man predicted it all
I'm a professional audio engineer. My partner uses a blue yeti for voice over work and has me master her work. It's a totally acceptable microphone, sure it needs a little more love in the edits but... like... it's FINE.
Also, like bomber pointed out, the difference between a yeti and and an entry-level enthusiast setup was $600.
Banger last name, dog
For my most recent video where I had to add some voice over (which is now nearly a year old already), I just went in the airing cupboard, threw a duvet over myself and spoke into my Samsung Galaxy S10+. I didn't even use a voice recording app, I used the video app and filmed the darkness while I spoke.
Usually ANY voiceover work would be through my ZOOM H2N, but trying this out, the quality was good. I wouldn't use a phone to record lyrics for a song, but for basic voiceover? It doesn't sound bad to me. I sound clear enough, the white noise is very very quiet and the Bass-Treble range doesn't sound compressed.
@@MrSomnix it’s not an entry level set up, you can get a cheap audio interface from behringer for 50$ and a cheap better quality mic set up for 50$, which is about the same price as the blue yeti. Blue microphones definitely aren’t worth the value in 2022, they aren’t that good and overpriced, but they aren’t bad either. The set up they were talking about was no-means entry level, the sm7b is like a mic goal for me and a lot of my friends lol.
I actually can't stand the SM7, it just tends to sound congested to me. Is it just me, am i wrong? I would pick a $25 Superlux Pra any day. Added to the bad tone, SM7 is not exactly cheap (though the whole category of broadcast microphones has elevated prices; but an RE20 at least doesn't sound bad) and a little difficult to run with low output level. I think it's a massive viral disease that everyone is buying them.
Yeti is not very objectionable, but at best it's a slightly worse AT2020 with 3 extra modes which don't sound right. I think it was a little bit of a disease as well.
Soooo, here I am, 6 years later and this didnt get world wide attention
bc no one gives a fuck if youtubers copy each others shitty videos
Never expected "hbombs covering plagiarism" was plagiarized by.. hbombs covering plagiarism.
I can't stand this Luke Stephens guy. He's so pretentious and makes something that you can say in 30mins into a 5 hour video
I have a Blue Yeti from like a decade ago (it takes like a mini USB B or something). Old, old podcast days. People frequently comment how clear it is. It's extremely passable. I wouldn't feel the need to upgrade for anything besides the port being loose. I could be convinced for a pop cover or something.
I really wish I could get an honest explanation of the mindset of someone like Luke, like if he has genuinely deluded himself to the degree that he thinks the numerous "similarities" to your original video are purely coincidental or whether he's just interested in making money and damned be any moral considerations that may get in the way as long as they have zero real-world consequences for him.
Maybe he uses some kind of weak-ass "ideas are made to be free" argument where nothing on the internet is plagiarism unless you literally just repost an unedited copy of someone else's video. I don't know. I don't think I'll ever know, because in my experience people like this, no matter how you confront them, will just spin transparently obvious lies until you get frustrated and go away.
Yeah this is exactly how LukiePoo responded
Apparently the dude made his video unavailable which is an odd choice. Maybe he's just doing it until the "the heat dies down" so people can't see it themselves to verify how obvious his plagiarism is. Though taking it down is in itself pretty damning evidence that he did SOMETHING wrong.
I genuinely think he like, thinks he's making something, even though ity's all really really really really poorly adapted points of others.
Like, it's dunningkrugger(or however you spell that) syndrome but for like, videoessays.
He'll just say blatant non-sense or actually factually false things about games he says he's player or loves or what not , and just acts smug as if he was delivering revolutionary one of a kind genius points.
He;s like on cinema at the cinema, but not self-aware, which makes sense, since OCATC was also based on a similar style of content.
This video really extrudes plagiarism
Algorithm brought y'all here too?
The blueprint
Seems like LukiePoo may have taken down his rip-off of your Bloodborne video. I can't seem to find it anywhere, anyway. The comparisons presented in this video is pretty damning, though, so I'm not surprised.

Hi, didn't expect to see you here. :)

@@Outplayedqt He's basically a poor man's Matthewmatosis these days who has this weird obsession with trying to convince everyone that Assassin's Creed is anything other than a lazy copy and past cash grab franchise at this point.
As a fan of Luke Stephens for years, who has recently become infuriated with his awful descent into vapid misinformed content with his move to livestreaming: it’s almost vindicating to come and see this video that details his creative method, or lack of one.
Now I know I wasn’t just jaded, but instead caught onto the fact that someone I like has poor morals and won’t hesitate to compromise his ideals for a video.
A shame because I used to love his in-depth critiques, including the one here where he plagiarised your video, and then I only found your channel after. Really disappointed to find this out, but it makes a lot of sense.
It’s also kind of ironic how since this video was made, he’s fully leaned into the “skeptic” label and titles most of his videos with that word. Right after you complained about those kinds of content creators.
Nah he makes pretty good content
I had no idea he used to be called "LukiePoo" so I spent this whole video thinking "wow this guy kinda looks & sounds like Luke Stephens"...didn't realize it was him until Hbomberguy showed his Twitter at the end. :(
This sucks. I enjoyed some of his videos, like about the Gollum game, etc.
@@sorryifoldcomment8596 Honestly Luke does still make some good stuff, and is a talented video maker. Apparently he just cuts corners and doesn’t, or didn’t have very good morals at one point :/ I think we can still watch his videos and enjoy them regardless of that
have u seen his apology? i think it was pretty good
H.bomb is honestly a hero to me, found a random video of his when i was like 12 or 13 and it saved me from going down the alt-right pipeline. “Ben Shapiro owns stupid feminists” compilation videos were all over my suggested feed, but I really think he helped push me away from becoming some sad hateful neck beard.
The youtube jumpscare economy, god I appreciate the dry humor.
I fucking knew something was off with that luke stephens dude. Seriously his videos feel like a bunch of plagiarized segments hot glued together
Damn. I looked at lukiepoo's video. Hbomb says: "I'm glad you liked my work!". Lukiepoo pins that comment because pinning it proves that he wasn't plagiarising and says: "Hey! A lot of people have been recommending your video and I've probably watched it 10 times in the last week. I can't get enough! I agree with every word! Great minds think alike I suppose! ;D"
Probably intentionally disregarding the obvious sarcasm of hbomb's comment. Great minds think alike? Apparently they think alike to the point of plagiarism.
You are actually one of the most unique analysis channels. You cover topics that others really don't, despite the risk of backlash, and are very entertaining.
Pretty funny, people call ya smug, but you have nothing on these guys!
maybe its cause its a male feminist SJW?
Maybe don’t use stupid buzzwords
crybaby :D Stfu
Man I love a good prequel
Oh shit, I know this guy (Luke Stephens). Yeah, I stumbled across a video of him where he's bloviating about a woman in one of his classes saying things he disagrees with while he just says a bunch of spiteful shit about her and dismisses the problems she had without taking them into consideration for even a second. He's basically part of the anti-SJW crowd, which isn't a shock, because the gaming community is filled with those types, but what I remember about the video I watched is that he started railing on this article that he refused to link and refused to name the publication who posted it, all under the guise of "not giving the SJWs attention"; so he made a bunch of lofty-yet-specific claims about their content and didn't let his audience check for themselves if what he was saying is true. He's kind of an asshole, and dishonest, and I'm not in the least bit surprised that he plagiarised you.
so stock standard Anti-SJW grifter
@Bitch Lasagna Yeah I'm a snowflake because Luke is a fucking asshole and attacks people over nothing.
Man. First guy was bad, second was kinda shitty, but Lukeypoo was blatant as fuck.
Lukeypoo completely poopooed the concept of blatantly stealing from others.
Then again, the Fine brothers exist.
this is why i just use youtube to upload videos of my pets
Implying people don't regularly take pet photos and pass them off as their own.

Your recent video reminded me that this video existed, and this video reminded me that you used to talk about souls games.
I remember when this video came out. I didnt watch it at first because the topic didnt grab my interest. But i eventually got around to it. I had no idea thered be such a monumental sequel
HE REUSED HIS JOKE 15:50 LMAOOO
So this is the prequel I see
This older video about plagiarism was the Doolittle Raid, while the recent upload was Hiroshima.
one of the last things i expected to see in the year of our lord 2024 was welsknight from hermitcraft in a 6 year old hbomberguy video but here we are
🐣
The Prequel !!
So, this is why the twink was pissed in the 4 hours video. Interesting.
I just recently discovered you through your flat earth measured response video, and as a result watched your other videos, including the Bloodborne one. When watching it i felt like it was somewhat familiar so that maybe i had watched you in the past and had simply forgotten but after also watching this, I think I'm remembering watching LukiePoo's copy which is making me upset, because i enjoyed his video as much as i enjoyed yours. you obviously put immense amounts of thought and work into your Bloodborne analysis, and to have that torn apart and summed up into 7 minutes i had craved more of is sad. Like there's really no point in me posting this comment since this issue is completely irrelevant now, and i'm sure you won't see this comment, nor will many other people, but i just need to get that out there. Video essays are one of my favorite formats on youtube and the good ones are few and far between. you literally discovered the play conditioning phenomenon through your friend, a personal experience, and on top of that created an hour and a half passionate retelling of that showing how appreciative, genuine, and introspective you are as a person. it wasn't an hour and a half of you ranting, it was an hour and a half planned script with research. it was YOUR project. YOUR project for no reason other than your own satisfaction that comes from analysis of human behavior and your love of video games, and some guy scrapped all of that into 7 minute regurgitated bullshit which makes me have to stop and wonder if most of the videos i love are actually also stolen from original creators... idk i can't do this. the world is a sad place. why do people have to be like that
That's a lot of text to say one thing. Are you Luke his brother?
Now why would RUclips start putting this in peoples' recommended again, I wonder?
McConnell's example doesn't bother me at all. There are worlds of difference between ripping off style and ripping off content. It's really incomparable. Apples and oranges.
Why can't you just compare fruit??
MrCactuar13 Because oranges are objectively worse than apples. Fight me.
I'm not sure fighting would objectively do very much to help make you see sense. ;o)
Well, unless your fruit-based convictions aren't as strong as you may want us to believe.
LyricalDJ You sound like the kind of person that'd like cantaloupe. You should be ashamed. It's a shit fruit, and you deserve to be deported for it. Vote Jill Stein 2012.
Bitch apples are just lumps of fiber. Oranges are juicier and have a higher Vitamin C content.
The second best video about plagiarism I've ever seen
To anyone watching as of 2019 - "Luke Stephens" is what he goes by now, and links to his BB rip-off videos don't work. Wonder if there is any connection between being called out for the plagiarizing and that "rebranding". Anyway, I thought that voice sounded familiar (it's actually a great voice for youtube, actually) - and I had to find out where from. (EDIT - a word)
BTW - Luke S content is kind of crap. He really never provides enough of a compelling argument for his claims, making plenty of his titles feel like clickbait. I am sure there are many low-effort viewers who support him. Low-effort, as in, believe what is uttered, dont bother to double check, and blindly defend - because who cares about anything, right? "just entertain me and distract me and then I dont care even if you are Satan" which seems to be common among youtube and twitch viewers. The cult of personality stuff too. (that last part doesn't even qualify as a sentence, but if I point that out here, it so totally doesn't matter, right?... Right???)
As a total aside (wrt content) - Luke is that odd specimen of guy with cute, youthful features who then grows a beard so as to (I assume) 'look more manly' (or older or more mature?).
I'm happy when SoulBro gets attention from bigger YooToobers.
Everyone go watch Puppet Life videos.
Little did he know...
Hey hbomberguy; your videos are well edited and fun to watch. I wish you well and hope you can continue to make these for years to come.
they've really just been doing this forever huh
That KFC video sticks out like a sore thumb in this video. Two of these are blatant, that one was... very iffy. I don't know, I was on dA when it went through its major PLAGIARISM/TRACING/OMGAAAAAAAAH days, (not that that stuff ever went away people were just complaining about it at higher volumes), but style rips were never ever worth fighting over. People always diverge at some point from their inspiration if they keep at it, and dragging them ends up needlessly killing good will in the community. People become scared to do anything without getting labeled. ("That looks too much like ___!" when it... doesn't. Suddenly every cartoon lion is Simba whether it is or not. People like to mob when they think there's a cause, and unfortunately not all of those people know how to tell the difference between similar things.)
"Tracers" though, they never grow. They can't, they automatically set themselves up for failure.
"Tracers never grow" is one of those things that takes like five seconds of thought to realize it's just a way to discourage tracing. Which ... is nonsense. The issue with tracing stems from sharing or selling traced works without the original artist's consent, not from it not being a legitimate way to get into or practice art.
Like, tracing is a lot like writing down a lecture - you might not be making anything new, but the act of just doing and engaging with the idea helps imprint it into your brain. Not to mention it's pretty direct practice in terms of figuring out how to draw certain shapes, because you can see where you're messing up as you're drawing them instead of having to compare after the fact.
And, heck, tracing a photograph or 3D model or such is actually a pretty good way to get a base to work with - a pretty good way that's _done professionally_ because using a reference, even so directly as tracing over it, it generally better than starting with a completely blank canvas, especially when you don't have experience drawing a particular thing from scratch.
hey, now. i happen to main tracer. >:(
@@sludgebat i have no idea why you replayed to an old comment with a bad pun but ok
Because a Draven does it all, in style (that is to say, I appreciate the terrible pun)
