My fashion croquis are the most viewed and favorited of all my deviations--but the comments area is rife with variations of "I'm using your base because I'm too lazy to make my own".

Now I'm feeling guilty for enabling laziness both in general and here on Deviant art.

The fashion bases I've provided were meant to be a convenient tool for people interested in Fashion Illustration--to give people a head start and some inspiration while they work towards learning to create bases on their own.

In light of this, I am going to remove the FMD Fashion Croquis 001 and 002 until I can determine a different way of presenting them that discourages using them as an excuse to 'be lazy'.

The Super Basic Croquis Tutorial will remain, and the other bases may return in the form of more detailed tutorials or as pay-to-use fashion illustration starter kits.

Some of you have purchased the right to download my bases and remove the logo, etc--You may continue to use it, as you have purchased the right to; but may NOT repost the bases by themselves, claiming it as their own work.

Those of you who have downloaded the bases as free stock may also continue using it; but may NOT repost the bases by themselves, claiming it as their own work.

They will no longer be available for new users.

Thank you for your understanding.
