… I’ve always wanted to ask this question.(…一直都想问这个问题。)
The only friend of mine is a commercial artist who also likes Krita (although for the time being it is only for sketching, but I’m sure she’ll be using Krita more for other work in the future).(我唯一一位朋友是一位商业画师,她也喜欢Krita(虽然暂时只用于勾线,但是相信她今后会更多使用Krita做其他工作)。)
In the country where I live, there are many such commercial painters. Some of them receive manuscripts on a platform called “MiHuaShi”, some go back and forth on Sina Weibo, and so on.(在我所居住的国家,这样的商业画师有很多。有一些在名为“米画师”的平台接稿,有一些来往于新浪微博,等等。)
Young people in this country are often saddled with a lot of debt and need to support themselves and their families, and artists are no exception – often under a lot of pressure, meeting the needs of different clients, and staying up late every day.(这个国家的年轻人通常背负着大量的债务,需要养活自己与全家,画师也不例外——通常需要背负巨大的压力,满足不同客户的需求,以及算是每日熬夜。)
These artists (and many non-commercial artists who just draw out hobby) have a strong sense of copyright protection, and even patent their own characters.(这些画师(以及很多只是凭着兴趣绘画的非商业画师)有着极度强烈的版权保护意识,甚至会为自己设计的人物申请专利。)
In order to prevent their own works from being stolen, they will also add a thick watermark to their own works, which is already a norm.(为了防止自己的作品被盗用,还会为自己的作品加上厚厚的水印,这已经是一种常态。)
… I just wanted to ask everyone here and Krita what they think about this phenomenon. (They really worked hard…) The people who support themselves are working hard and are worthy of admiration)(…我只想问一问这里的各位以及Krita官方对此现象怎么看。(他们真的很努力…养活自己的人们都很努力,值得敬佩))
For example, this one.(例如这一位。)
She’s the only friend I’ve ever had, and she loves Krita too.(她就是我唯一的朋友,也很喜欢Krita。)
There is also the problem of people like me who want to contribute to Krita, but the end result is only to cause problems for everyone.(还有一个问题,就是像我这样希望为Krita做一些贡献,但是最终的结果只会为大家带来麻烦的人。)
I swear I will never impersonate Krita officials on any platform or occasion to conduct any activities and conduct any activities, forever.(我发誓我绝不会在任何平台,场合冒充Krita官方人员来进行与开展任何活动,直到永远。)
I really like Krita, but I don’t have any money, I don’t know how to code, I don’t know how to draw… It’s like this.(我真的很喜欢Krita,但是我没有钱,不怎么会编程,画技…就像这样。)
I’ve been trying Krita for the first time, and now it’s the 10th year, and I’m ashamed that Krita is so deep that there are still a lot of features I haven’t tried.(我从第一次尝试Krita开始,算上今年是第十年,非常惭愧的是Krita实在是很深奥,还有很多功能没有尝试。)
Also, I’m very poor at speaking, so it’s unlikely that I’ll give an answer to Krita newbies.(另外我的口才很差,所以也不大可能向Krita新手给出答案。)
Suffice it to say that I really hope that Krita will get better and better, and that more and more artists (including Anime makers) will know and use Krita.(我只想说我真的希望Krita能够变得越来越好,越来越多的画师(包括日漫画使)能够知道,并且使用Krita。)
Probably my biggest strength is that I have some ideas and can put them into practice.(我最大的优点大概就是有一些点子,并且能够投身到实践中去。)
But there is a high probability that it will still be regarded as causing trouble.(但是大概率还是会被当成制造了麻烦。)
… So I don’t know what to do.(…所以我不知道该怎么办好。)
By the way, I just looked up Sina Weibo. I found that there was very little discussion about “Krita”, most of it was related to AI, and only some of it was Anime.(顺带一提,我刚刚查找了新浪微博。我发现有关于“Krita”的讨论很少,大部分与AI有关,只有一些是日漫画作。)
And there is a lot of discussion about CSP.(而csp的讨论则很多。)
Just don’t scold me.(别骂我就行。)
