    What can i do to get them back? What kind of proof you need?

    did you draw them?

    or did you use an image plotter?

    I draw them with my hands! Look at original pictures and say if they are plotted or not!

    It makes my angry. I spend a lot of time on those and you blocked them with no reason!

    No offense to whoever locked these, but I think you should ask whether it is plotted and/or for proof BEFORE you lock it for being plotted. Instead of just assuming that it's plotted because it's better than what has been done before. If you do that, how will anything on powder toy get better?

    I disabled the second save because I believe it was a generated image. The first one looks fine to me due to minor imperfections - however @doxin disagrees and you will have to contact him (best method is via the IRC channel). The second one has no evident imperfections, impossible in an non-generated image.

    I opened the second picture and and put maniaks powder toy verson over the top with vitrite. The shape of the two cats are slightly different, the shading is VERY different. Also the hair is facing in different ways and is shorter than the original picture. Surely a generated image would be exactly the same? I mean, no offense here maniak, I've seen plenty of art that is just as good as this. And if you see the rest of maniak's work, you can tell he's a good artist anyway.

     If you can't draw like this it doesn't mean it's imposible. I can make tutorial. Take 1 pixel lighten brush press the button and move mouse back and forth. You will get this fur effect. I think @doxin is just jealous or something.

     

    Oh i get it. So was with other pictures not by me. If it looks bad - it's fine. If looks beautiful - it shoud be blocked or deleted becouse of plotting.

    Well maybe you're just too good!

    I had a browse through your other artistic saves, and though there seems to be few, they are very well made. However I am also not 100% convinced you drew that second cat. Its just too good. No offence or anything.... well actually if you did draw it, I would simply take it as a complement that it is locked, because it means it is just so good its impossible! :P

    So yeah, either hang your head in shame for using a CGI, or be super happy for doing so well it violates the rules.

    I'm aware of the differences, which is why I said the the first one appears fine.

    @Maniak
    I can't draw to save my life dude, however I certainly do not judge compared to my own abilities. You other art saves have obvious signs of using the tools built in, though various imperfections. The second cat picture I looked at is TOO perfect to be hand drawn.

    Having spoken to Triclops200, he has assured me its hand drawn and drawn my attention to a few points I've overlooked. I will republish both saves for you. You are a very skilled person and I hope you don't let this bog you down :)

    @Maniak Very amazing, this would have taken me at least a year to perfect. You're very amazing dude, and I do have to say, that the first painting of the cat, looks superb!

     

    Just wondering, did you use transparent windows? Just saying, because the last time I download one of them, my computer had to be restored. Very amazing, one again.

     

    On subject of image plotting, the first painting wasn't smudged on the right. No offense, no one probably can do it so well, but with a few mistakes here and there, it doesn't violate any rules, because it wasn't perfect if you get what I mean..
