I think it's weird when people think something isn't worth as much because it is c/p. It only matters on how it looks. These people just really like the certain art and do this cheap way of getting the art for a lower price saying "it's c/p, so 15k" Take flyingmonk's sets for example; I would pay at least 100k for each of them.

So, I think of it as a small scam when people downgrade it for c/p.

Flying monk is an example of GOOD copy paste.

He morphs an image to the point were we couldn't tell what it used to be.

FlyingMonk's sets are better than most "hand drawn" sets.
I personally think art should be valued on how it looks, rather than how it was made(or who it was made by).. so yea, c/p is fine in my books

nowadays, CP is about using textures from 3D rigs and game files.
which I dont approve of, its blatant plagiarism and theft.
selling sets for USD made with textures that other people made, especially without consent, is unacceptable, no matter how much work they did on it.
