						 | 
						
							TheShaman
							 
							 yes  Showcase,  the  source  was  used  as  a  reference  for  this  creation.  whats  not  to  get?  But  you  are  correct...  there  isnt  any  source  here  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							TheShaman
							 
							 Its  not  like  I'm  breaking  new  ground,  many  people  have  replaced  entire  source  images  to  come  up  with  'something  completely  different'  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 |

							 If  you  do  a  side  by  side  comparison  of  this  with  the  original,  you'll  see  what  I  have  done  here.

						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							Showcase
							 
							 I  get  what  you  did  but  I  dont  get  why.  The  idea  is  to  change  the  starting  image,  not  create  a  completely  new  image  "inspired"  but  the  starting  image.

							 NFS  Showcase.  sorry  you  dont  like  it.  this  isnt  like  I  took  a  freakn  picture  and  just  posted  it.  It  has  most  of  the  'elements'  as  bugs  now.  call  this  "my  own  version"

							TheShaman
							 
							 I've  been  here  long  enough  to  know  the  'idea'  who  says  you  cant  do  what  I've  done...  again  its  not  like  I  posted  a  picture  of  some  other  random  street  with  cars  on  it.  everything  thats  placed  is  "inspired"  as  you  say  from  the  source.  
						 |

						 | 
						
							Showcase
							 
							 I  think  you're  wrong  to  say  that  "many  people  have  replaced  the  entire  source".  It  doesnt  happen  that  often.  If  this  sort  of  approach  becomes  normal,  whats  the  sense  of  having  a  starting  image?

							 May  was  well  go  with  a  themed  contest  and  just  provide  ideas.  Anywaaaaay,  I  can  tell  you're  extremely  offended  so  I'll  drop  it.  Keep  on  truckin'

						 | 
						
							Vlad
							 
							 Gotta  agree  with  TheShaman  on  this.  In  fact  I  find  this  kind  of  image  very  creative  and  obviously  an  adaptation  of  the  source.  Also  the  rules  are  -  there  are  no  rules.  Just  don't  vote  if  it  bothers  you.  
						 | 
					
					
						 | 
					
				
					
						
							 
						 | 
						
							TheShaman
							 
							 thank  you  Vlad!  and  agreed,  theres  plenty  of  other  images,  I  could  totally  understand  if  there  were  money  involved,  but  this  is  supposed  to  be  about  having  FUN>  I  was  merely  trying  to  be    different  than  the  rest

							 Vlad,  I  am  not  saying  its  not  creative...but  there  IS  one  rule...Manipulate  the  starting  image.  TheShaman  didnt  do  that...and  I  can't  catch  them  all  :)

							 look,  forget  it.  I  care  too  much??  Look  in  the  mirror.  One  comment  that  isnt  gratuitous  praise  and  you've  been  offended  and  totally  gone  on  the  defensive  .  I  didnt  vote  because  I  think  it  doesnt  fit  the  contest  not  because  I  dont  think  its  creative.

						 | 
						
							TheShaman
							 
							 thats  why  I  said  it  wasnt  a  good  example,  anyway....  whoopie,  you  dont  think  it  fits  the  contest.  dont  vote  for  it  then.  I  never  said  you  cared  too  much,  just  asked  if  you  were  part  of  the  source  police.

							 Im  upset  because  I  put  a  S**tload  of  time  into  this  one.  Did  I  think  it  would  win?  No,  I  just  wanted  to  do  something  alittle  different  than  the  rest  of  the  pack.  Sorry  It  is  not  up  to  your  rules.

							 Great!  I  look  forward  to  it  Show.  Check  will  be  right  back  at  ya  in  the  mail.  :P  And  no  worries  man,  I  dont  have  any  more  of  these  types  of  Inspirations  coming  up.

							 and  they  are  NOT  my  rules.  its  always  been  this  way  and  as  near  as  I  can  see,  it  wont  change  any  time  soon.  and  trust  me,  if  I  had  seen  the  other  images  you  linked  for  example,  I  would  have  made  the  same  comments  to  them.
