Kind of makes me wish SFM/Xnalara never existed. People legit using game assets to make money. If they made the model themselves fair game but I fooled around with SFM for awhile and Xnalara. I never felt like I can truly call it my art, but when I get down with my hand drawings I feel a sense of accomplishment. Even more so if it comes out really good and people like it.

lol, I have no beef with SFM or Xnalara for that matter, messing around with 3D programs is a fun time, but yeah when you're mass producing low effort work using ripped in game assets and calling it a day, that's when I'm like :/

that's not to say that all 3D DOA fan art is low effort, i've seen people do incredible things with art assets taken from the game, but it always does raise the question of how much of that art is belongs to said artist, I personnally wouldn't call it my own but im sure other ppl have different views

Well when I went to fullsail. The teacher would say how do I know you did this? prove it. We would have to show our work then and there. Same goes for 3d modeling. You learn to build things from the ground up even if its a image of your favorite character just in your style. Art is what you make it. Anything can be art, but at the end of the day is it truly your art? can you make something from nothing?

or are you making art from existing art? There is nothing wrong with this either. again it's still art, and what is truly art is subjective, but if you are making art from existing art you are very limited,

If the world went back to the medieval times. All the artists that do there own art now, would and can still be artists. While all the artists using DOA/Tekken/SC models would have to end there art hobby, because they are limited, by making art from art. This is not to knock on them or anything but I've seen stuff like this from experience.

Namco, Tecmo, and more have great artist. People just like making art from there art. Take a drink every time you read art. you're drunk!

I'd say the bigger problem is 90% of DOA fanart being softcore porn of varying degrees lol (I'm also guilty of this tbf though) you rarely see fighter fanart or even male fanart in general.
