@@LavenderLemonaHonestly the characters are mostly made of simple shapes, so with some practice and using lots of references of characters and backgrounds you probably could do it if you wanted to. Just remember to not be too harsh on yourself if you do try and it doesn’t come out great the first few attempts! :)
I've done my fair share of tracing bluey characters to make ocs, but I will NEVER, and I mean NEVER, sell them, let alone even show them on the internet!
Honestly, I don't even care if all they're doing is editing stock images of characters in the show instead of drawing it by hand. For some people that's good enough for them and that's fine. But what does bother me is when they aren't honest. If what you're doing is photoshopping official art to fit someone's family, they should say that. The word "portrait" implies that they're actually drawing the art. If they would just be transparent about their process it wouldn't bother me at all. But it's very frustrating otherwise.
I've seen graphic design artists make some really cool stuff by just photoshopping. I would argue showing the recolored characters in your example is being honest. It's upfront about being lazy. I have issue with showing in your example work no edits of the characters at all.
@@lo177 Yeah. My art teacher said that how people pay you is less dependent on how good your art is, and more dependent on how people value your worth. If you're just a small artist, not a lot of followers, people would be paying you that $15 or less. However if you're well known, shit tons of followers, then you can get paid up to hundreds of dollars for your work. I was gonna say $15 is is actually pretty small for a family portrait. I'd suspect family portraits would be like $10ish for every family member if these people are making original designs. I support the idea of "I'm gonna make my own stuff instead of paying someone else to do it!" because it encourages artists to work. But also don't dis on artist who do price things out of your personal price range. It might be spendy to you, but that's how this artist is putting food the table.
@@zoguy6988 I've seen people overprice Art like this that are recolor for very high prices! If you're a beginner and not too popular then they should do $10-15 but these people in the vid are mostly very well recognized as I see them post on insta very frequently! I do love the Bluey community but sometimes some take advantage of others interest in a fandom and scam!
I have been making hand drawn sketches here lately of Bluey styled OC’s because of boredom and the fact that I really love cartooning but haven’t done it lately due to carpal tunnel syndrome and other health issues. I now feel better about my own original artwork because of learning about how people steal or edit the artwork of others.
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. Rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. Rats make me crazy.
This has been bugging me for a while, as a commission/professional artist 🙄 I keep seeing people posting that they are doing the commissioned Bluey art, when they are literally just taking existing characters and recolouring them. It’s not original at all, and just lazy! A year or two ago, I did one just for fun, for my daughter’s bedroom, and I did it from scratch, and it came out really good. But when I posted the finished artwork on Instagram I also posted the full process of me drawing and colouring it, to prove I wasn’t lazy 😂 I’m still really proud of it.
this has been one of my biggest pet peeves for a while. as a small artist who does original, stylized bluey art and even portraits like these, to see (mostly innocent parents!) get ripped off like this when there are so many better options is disheartening.
Yeah i was a victim of this scam, I'm out 100$. I even had to go back an recolor and fix mistakes and even reformat it so the image quality wasn't complete trash. It was done by a disgusting babyfur furry "artist". They took 4 months to complete it with multiple excuses. Smh, I'm still doing retouches on it. The only reason i didn't draw it myself is i don't have any drawing software on my computer nor is my computer working. So all i have is my phone and ibis paint.
If you want a free alternate to photoshop for pc I would suggest Krita. I'm not saying you 'have' to get it since theirs also gimp and another one I forgot the name of I just found krita to be the best for me. Then again I also use mouse so I'm not the most qualified to talk about good programs. I just personally use it myself.
Omg. You made a video. But seriously, it's good to see you back man. We have all missed you. I m glad that your doing fine. Hey if you go off again. Don't rush just relax and focus on fixing your self and your mental health. Keep it up bro. ❤ from 🏴
I am an artist but my hand these days don't let me work on stuff sometimes. I do appreciate and purchase commissions but mostly when the artist has a distinguishable style. In those cases the artists are pricing a little higher but they truly offer a unique piece.
Due to ripoffs and scammers I just do it myself now 😅 if I can’t do that art style/type I learn how to do it. I understand most people don’t have that time or foundation in art skills but if you do it’s worth doing. Especially if you already have the necessary tools and supplies laying around at home
Some people buy commissions just to support the artist. I'm poor, and as a result, I do my down drawings as well. But I've always wanted to commission some of my favorite artists to have something that they made, and have them know that there's a demand for their work.
@@zoguy6988 I’ll probably do that when I get my financial situation stable again. I don’t sell art anymore but I do understand the struggle because of that short time. Side note: my sales were mostly to friends and their friends as a way to experiment with what was in demand in my local area while making some extra cash
Facebook is FULL of these sketchy family portraits, it’s hard to tell which ones are good or bad but the price of the work normally gives a pretty good idea…
This practice is not new, its been around as long if not longer than when Deviant Art was in its Heyday. Recolors have been always been an issue especially when people pawn them off as OG art or art for sale. On top of that doll bases have been around forever. People use to sell doll templates and people would draw over them to make their OCs and what not. It always has been and always will be a rip off, but its affordable. And for certain people, they don't care where the base got plucked from, or if it was stolen and recolored etc. Plus alot of it also has to do with fans who want art that looks exactly like the show, which can be hard as certain styles can be incredibly simple which makes customization a bit tricky especially if you're trying to stay within the tight guidelines of the style. Honestly, it would be nice if people could shop around for artists, look at their portfolio and and pick them to draw their ocs or families in a similar but different style. Characters are still recognizable outside their original style. Heck look at the variety of yugioh, final fantasy, animal crossing and avatar the last air bender art, all recognizable, but different styles. Honestly as much of a dumpster fire as it can be Tumblr is still my favorite place to find artists for commissions.
This might sound harsh but I’ll be honest that’s why I don’t do commissions at all yes I know there are good commissions but there are bad commissions too
I also don't commission people, but that's because I don't have the money for it lol. However, commissioning is supporting an artist. Not that commissions are the only way to support artists, but commissions give them money to put food on the table.
Honestly, you will NEVER see me use AI to generate art or let alone support artists that JUST recolor characters with no real effort. But, I'm also very terrible at making art and sometimes even wish I could be good at it (spoiler: I get too busy to take the time to learn it). That said, I am more than thrilled to pay talented artists that draw with their bare hands that do the work and present great results. I've met and am friends with a bunch of them too, which I'd never thought I would be able to say. Lastly, great video as always B&B. It's time we've addressed that scam. Keep up the good work and hope your day is going well for ya!
As a furry who is used to the idea of artists promoting commission prices of up to hundreds and even thousands of dollars, and yet they still sell like hot cakes every time they open, $40 - $60 dollars for a fullbody Bluey-style commission is pretty cheap in comparison. Though, living in a country where 60USD is 1/8 of my monthly salary, it's still very expensive to me. The sad reality of life and currencies. One day, I'll earn/save enough for one myself!
Oh my god I always see the Bluey mums page on Insta so much and it makes me so mad that they’re trying to take advantage on the Facebook moms on there. They advertise the crap out of the family portraits and as an artist it’s frustrating to see that they charge almost $60 for stolen pngs and recolors. There’s so many other amazing artists that I follow that have charge so much more less than that and it’s worth it than whatever they sell lol. Not to mention the “memes” they post is just depressing and almost like a sign to never have kids 😭
A lot of times when people commission me to do bluey style portraits they always state that they want a dog from the show, I try to get them to pick a different color/fur pattern so that it’s not a rip off of the og characters. It’s hard to convince the buyer because sadly they rather have the dogs from the show. I even try getting them to pick dog breeds that the show hasn’t really used yet. I can say one thing my favorite part of doing the commissions is making the backgrounds from scratch, I’ve only had one person request a scene from the show but everyone else has requested things like a forest, or a field with a barn and fence or a certain place the really like, like their grandma’s old house in fall. Recently I’ve done a beach scene which was really fun. I even got a chance to design a dirt bike in what I think it might look like in a bluey scene. Brambles is one of my biggest inspirations when it done to doing these types of commissions.
The prices what got me tbh, all that money for a recolored character. I do commissions all types/styles and I never went that high even for a headshot.
I like your monotoned colored version of your Bluey OC! Weirdly enough despite it being an example of how people just take the original and recoloring, I like it gives me the old era feel..and the name David is funny haha Anyways, this is very important to talk about, I didn't even know this was a problem and I hope people don't fall into these scammy lazy pictures
as a bluey artist it hurts to have to compete with some random ppl recoloring bluey and bingo and putting stickers on it :/ i got very few commissions and ppl legit try to scam me most times, and it seems ppl commisson these lazy ones so often but idk it might be fake
I felt called out at 3:45 because thats what i do excatly and i do it for fun and never publish the recolor without permisson except my pfp its just chilli recolored and i put sunny's on my OC with a flopped over ear like stripe
As a furry artist on Etsy, this is always a hellish sight lmao. People put time and effort into their work, only for people with no effort whatsoever to shove those artists below and claim that their recolouring is “art” in an attempt to scam folk.
As an artist on tumblr, I've seen multiple tracers/stealers who would sell stolen stuff overpriced and get alot of attention while the original artists get nothing. Its honestly discouraging.
2:57 why does this look like an NFT? I hate NFT’s, but the changing background, different expressions and letters on the same format just makes me think one.
I completely agree with this although s thought has come up, what if the people irl kinda look like or want to just be characters from bluey, boring yes but its there money! Glad to see you back!
I want one that is based on THAT photo of my parents. And the image i want drawn should recreate the pose as well and not just recolor clipart from the show
(The photo is infamous among my family due to the fact the original WTC (aka the Twin Towers) is in the background before the attacks that destroyed them
Oh man great video keep up the great work and stay awesome I can't wait to see more videos like this one it's absolutely amazing thanks for the info btw it's good to be informed
The $40-60 commission is actually arround what the price of a 1-3 character commission might be for actual drawing. The photo bashing could work and look good, but gotta put a bit more effort than that for that price.
Nuh uh you do not use traced or copied or recolored works in your portfolio (example images for customers). Those are techniques used to learn, not products. You could use those as mock ups (along with the actual piece as comparison) but displaying those like they are finished pieces is dishonest and wrong.
I actually recently drew one myself of my own family, lol. I asked my friends on Facebook what breed of dog they thought I'd be, and a lot of people said Saint Bernard, so I did that. I even tried to incorporate my hairline and facial hair in the coloring, haha. For my wife I did a Great Pyrenees, and my daughter a Bernard Pyrenees mix. I did use pieces of existing characters for reference, like Frisky's ponytail for my wife, that one saint Bernard background character for the general proportions of my character, and used bits of Bingo and Muffin for my daughter's overall shape, then added her hair and looked up a Bernard Pyrenees mix puppy for color schemes. It was super fun, and some people in the Bandits Dad group I'm in on Facebook said they'd commission one from me, but I don't think I'd be able to do it very well for someone else's family 🤷🏻♂️
OMG THANKYOOOOU No one should ever pay for a recolor a buddy of mine gave me a piece of bluey art recently and it was a real deal of the artist's own talent. As a creative brony/ pegasister and a mjaor fan of Bluey a recolor is more likely just making an OC for yourself including using a already existing vector which aren't bad but it's good to give drawing a chance to develop the character yourself which peppermint you see as my account pic she started on Pony maker even using with permission of already said vectors It was right after a video on how to draw MLP characters I took it like a duck to water and over time I still draw peppermint and trying a hand at abit of animation But yes thankyou for covering this topic I see these way to many times on Facebook even Family portraits of simpsons style which are later season styles I am open for commissions and I even offer simpson caricatures including pets I'm for the old school did a adorable kitty cat xD course I draw cats way to much became comics for sale❤

@@zippershorts thx I don’t have enough confidence to stand up for myself recently I was diagnosed with epilepsy and I lost all my confidence. It scares me going to school. I’m glad I’m out of school.
As someone currently learning photoshop in school, the work put into these portraits is not worth the price. Pay artists, they deserve everything they charge, but these are worth maybe 15 bucks. They would take maybe twenty minutes at most
it took me a while to find an artist to draw my dog, i didn't just want to have a traced image. found my artist on tiktok and she was awsome, cheep to. took a little bit of time cause she was busy but i still got the perfect image.

I found this video years after I left the bluey fandom, and I feel nostalgia
question, are the bins based off of bandit's brothers?
stripe is the one with the wave
rad/radley is the orange and blue one
Tell me how you can put the Bluey figures there without a 1 year old grabbing them please.
As a furry artist on Etsy, this is always a hellish sight lmao. People put time and effort into their work, only for people with no effort whatsoever to shove those artists below and claim that their recolouring is “art” in an attempt to scam folk.
As an artist on tumblr, I've seen multiple tracers/stealers who would sell stolen stuff overpriced and get alot of attention while the original artists get nothing. Its honestly discouraging.
Love your vids man! ❤️
2:57 why does this look like an NFT? I hate NFT’s, but the changing background, different expressions and letters on the same format just makes me think one.
Thanks for informing about this
I completely agree with this although s thought has come up, what if the people irl kinda look like or want to just be characters from bluey, boring yes but its there money!
Glad to see you back!
I want one that is based on THAT photo of my parents. And the image i want drawn should recreate the pose as well and not just recolor clipart from the show
(The photo is infamous among my family due to the fact the original WTC (aka the Twin Towers) is in the background before the attacks that destroyed them
I think having my family Bluey-fied sounds pretty cool. I've always wondered what my parents would look like as dogs!
Oh man great video keep up the great work and stay awesome I can't wait to see more videos like this one it's absolutely amazing thanks for the info btw it's good to be informed
4:12 the mother there looks like that vegan teachers prefered body
7:08 I think that’s actually a background prop from a game called Gacha Life or something. So they took from them, too 😭
Had to find out immediately what the scam was
Someone thought I was some eight-year-old kid because of my Bluey pfp 💀
pffffft
I’m kind of pissed because season four and the other seasons of Bluey are not on Disney+
So many blatant recolors. They're like Sonic OCs back in the 2000s.
there’s only so many ways you can draw the same dog breed though lol
The $40-60 commission is actually arround what the price of a 1-3 character commission might be for actual drawing.
The photo bashing could work and look good, but gotta put a bit more effort than that for that price.
Me immediately clicking on this video
You're back
3:52 What is font’s name?
I kinda wanna try making my dog in bluey art style.
2:20 i just got jumpscared by settings
This bugs the heck out of me, as someone who DID make a couple family portraits but all I did was emulate the style. These trace overs gross me out
Nuh uh you do not use traced or copied or recolored works in your portfolio (example images for customers). Those are techniques used to learn, not products. You could use those as mock ups (along with the actual piece as comparison) but displaying those like they are finished pieces is dishonest and wrong.
I actually recently drew one myself of my own family, lol. I asked my friends on Facebook what breed of dog they thought I'd be, and a lot of people said Saint Bernard, so I did that. I even tried to incorporate my hairline and facial hair in the coloring, haha. For my wife I did a Great Pyrenees, and my daughter a Bernard Pyrenees mix. I did use pieces of existing characters for reference, like Frisky's ponytail for my wife, that one saint Bernard background character for the general proportions of my character, and used bits of Bingo and Muffin for my daughter's overall shape, then added her hair and looked up a Bernard Pyrenees mix puppy for color schemes. It was super fun, and some people in the Bandits Dad group I'm in on Facebook said they'd commission one from me, but I don't think I'd be able to do it very well for someone else's family 🤷🏻♂️
Hey congrats on reaching 68k subs!
glad your back b&b
I've recently found out that the blueymums thing has been retired since July 10.
OMG THANKYOOOOU
No one should ever pay for a recolor a buddy of mine gave me a piece of bluey art recently and it was a real deal of the artist's own talent.
As a creative brony/ pegasister and a mjaor fan of Bluey a recolor is more likely just making an OC for yourself including using a already existing vector which aren't bad but it's good to give drawing a chance to develop the character yourself which peppermint you see as my account pic she started on Pony maker even using with permission of already said vectors
It was right after a video on how to draw MLP characters I took it like a duck to water and over time I still draw peppermint and trying a hand at abit of animation
But yes thankyou for covering this topic I see these way to many times on Facebook even Family portraits of simpsons style which are later season styles
I am open for commissions and I even offer simpson caricatures including pets I'm for the old school did a adorable kitty cat xD course I draw cats way to much became comics for sale❤
Man it’s good to see a b & b productions video
Hi B&B sorry i was late to watch it I was busy but I’m watching it now have a great day or night!also you video still help me a lot even when I was bullied in school!😊❤
Don't let the bullies get to you as some one who has got bullied try to stand up for yourself they won't be mean to someone who fights back and if you can't do that get a teacher or a parent or the principal hope you the best ❤️
@@zippershorts thx I don’t have enough confidence to stand up for myself recently I was diagnosed with epilepsy and I lost all my confidence. It scares me going to school. I’m glad I’m out of school.
I decided to make my own family portrait in the blue characters. I’m still working on it, but I’m never gonna post it.😅
Babe wake-up b&b productions just posted
As someone currently learning photoshop in school, the work put into these portraits is not worth the price. Pay artists, they deserve everything they charge, but these are worth maybe 15 bucks. They would take maybe twenty minutes at most
it took me a while to find an artist to draw my dog, i didn't just want to have a traced image.
found my artist on tiktok and she was awsome, cheep to. took a little bit of time cause she was busy but i still got the perfect image.
I tend to only seek commissions from artists I didnt meet by looking for comissions.
yesss ur back im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy
