EXCELLENT journal entry by :iconpyrochan-dolls: about the use of bases (real, hand drawn, non-traced bases) and why they are an important tool in a collaborative environment, such as the dolling community.  Far too much hate gets flung their way here on dA and I find that in reading the negative comments about them, much of the hate comes from ignorance (a lack of understanding their purpose and not knowing the difference between original bases and traced ones), misinformation and just plain old snobbery.

On the Subject of BasesFellow People of Deviantart,

I am here today to talk to you about Bases and Dolling.

:thumb291666033: :thumb91917260:  :thumb288476011:

I am not asking you to do it, or even to like it, but just to put out a standpoint that is sorely missing from this ongoing row over what a Base really is.

:thumb277333848: :thumb119886343: :thumb177169324:

You may think a base is a large traced piece from anime with no skill and that the people who draw on top of them are lazy artists who just don't want to learn how to draw. Some bases are traced, but not every base.

Dolling is a hobby, something tha
.. NOW.  

Thank you. :)
