User blog comment:ChishioKunrin/How would you react if someone sold traced RWBY art?/@comment-25555436-20150421005627/@comment-10380701-20150421011112

From my viewpoint, traced art is fucking lazy shit. And you're earning money from lazy shit. You're apparently not creative enough that you can't recreate Ruby's standing-on-a-cliff scene with your own flair.

Meanwhile, there's this. A recreation of Ruby's Red Trailer shot, done without tracing shit.

However, there ARE some good results with tracing. Like this.
