Is is setting the precident that you're pretty much screwed if you

1) can't draw,

2) can't find someone to draw you a picture,

3) can't afford to comission anyone for a picture. I believe you misunderstood the proposal.

If you cannot draw, that is no excuse for stealing artwork. Bottom-line is that if you must illustrate your character (which you don't) even if you cannot draw, you should create something that is your own, not resort to stealing artwork.

If anything, blank bases are there to serve that purpose and help artists grow. You are not screwed; you are just unable to take the easy, lazy, and illegal way out. While that is true and thieving is bad, I believe that people do think "bad pic= bad character", and your right, whoever thinks like that is strange to an extent and that person who said that also doesn't know how to draw and is desperate for a picture then yeah, he/she is very lazy. But, they're people like that, even though they should never resort to art thieving to an extent in my opinion. Art thieving from say, users here or other website users whether that's be DeviantArt,ArtStation etc is bad, of course and they should get permission. Though, if you mean, "art thieving" from official SEGA Sonic Images, then I think you should allow them (and yes I know this has been resolved long ago, the topic of recolours). I won't discuss why I think this, as this isn't a discussion page but I've just given my short thesis on the subject.
