"Fixing" someone's art?
I have seen some controversy about "fixing" other people's art. Examples of this are: adjusting a character or oc's body size, the skin color, etc. Some people have been editing other people's art or characters so they look black, such as genshin impact characters. I want to know your opinion on "fixing" or changing someone else's art, and whether you think that if there is no bad intent behind it, if it should be tolerated?
bruh there is literally no such thing as fixing someone's art ITS FUCKING ART
ur just changing it to ur thoughts. everyone interprets that piece differently so there is no "fixing it". reply
unless its official art, then yea adjusting it is disrespectful to the artist.
but if the artist intentionally whitewashed a character then thats a different story reply
Idk, if you're gonna fix someone's fanart or art then that's just plain disrespectful and also quite harmful for the artist.
Also "fix" shouldn't even exist in art because you aren't fixing anything, you're just "fixing" it to suit your *definition of that character*. reply
I’ve seen multiple things on twitter but 1 story I read related to “fixing” someone’s art particularly stood out to me. Someone did a self portrait in their own art style and posted it on twitter.

unless the artist is accepting criticism i don't really think it's necessary to "fix" ppl's art ! unless ur assisting them help and improve, no, i don't rlly think it would be respectful or helpful to the artist themselves ! slightly moderating things in ppl's artwork like skin tone or body size could still rlly be disrespectful, bc that makes it ...... reply
If your intent/ wording is you saying that you’re “fixing it” than no, but otherwise if you’re being respectful, I personally don’t see a problem. I really don’t think anyone should touch fan-art it (racist or otherwise) but if it’s official art, it really doesn’t matter. Like if you’re taking a clip from an anime/ American cartoo...... reply
Don't touch people's fanart at all unless you have permission from the artist period. If you don't get a response, you should ASSUME YOU AREN'T ALLOWED unless you get one or the artist has a statement allowing it. This is especially true for east asian artists because it's deemed common sense not to share (and therefore steal) other people's art.

Nobody should "fix" other people art. It's a lack of respect toward the artist. If you don't like something you can ether draw it better or leave it but you shouldn't steal someone art and change it to your taste. Moreover in most situation people who fix art do it for their own little sense of justice, like"where are her organ ? She is too slim" a...... reply
