Nothing was done other than the background being changed. It's just a render with nothing done to it. That's ripping.

I have to agree with Lovol on this one. There is a very fine line between doing very little and ripping. This is in my eyes a rip. Maybe not intentional, but changing the background and adding text isn't doing anything. 3 layers for this at the most.

Bro I only quoted because you said you're not that good at GFX.
Doing this (ripping) will teach you nothing bro.
It is a rip but don't give up it's just a bump in the road of learning.
I hope you look at some tuts for different techniques in sig making and try again.

He's ripping because he only added 3 layers (not that number of layers matter).
1 for a photo filter and 2 for text...that's all.
The person who originally made this had to render all photos and edit them to look like they were evolving.
That's like me taking your work and throwing a photo filter on it, removing your name and calling it my own. It's usually called piracy in the real world.

And I also agree that that person should have DQ'd but that's something you'll have to take up with Lovol bro.
I just wanted to say that you won't get far by not trying.
By no means attacking you bro.

It's a permissible image (that isn't the original. i've seen multiple edits of it on the internet doing a reverse image search), which you're allowed to use however you want. I've seen multiple tags on Planetrenders which were just simple color corrections and yet they were allowed as sotw entries, because it isn't ripping, as long as it's a permissible image.

& how 'bout these entries from the past sotw; (nothing against the creators, just examples)
