I Guess I Found the Brush More Useful at a Lower Opacity Rather Than the Full Opacity 'FireAlpaca'

As I was rummaging through my old digital art account, I stumbled upon an old brush that I created several years ago. At first glance, it looked like a decent brush, but as I dug deeper, I realized that it wasn't entirely original. In fact, it was almost identical to another brush by Tumblr user Katolilly.

I remember using this brush back in middle school when I didn't have good judgment when it came to art etiquette. To be honest, I traced the body reference from someone else's artwork and posted it as my own without giving credit where it was due. The original artist, Katolilly, deserved all the credit and positive comments that I received for this brush.

In hindsight, I realize that this was a big mistake on my part. It's not fair to take someone else's work and pass it off as your own, even if you make slight modifications. The brush is almost a direct iteration of Katolilly's work, with the only difference being that I changed the opacity setting.

I know that this may seem like a small issue, especially since it's been up for several years without anyone noticing. However, as an artist, I believe that it's important to give credit where it's due and acknowledge the original creators of our work.

In addition to addressing the issue of not giving proper credit, I also noticed that some people are having trouble using this brush in newer versions of FireAlpaca. Apparently, the load color feature is now called 'complement,' which may be causing some confusion. If you're experiencing issues with the brush, I recommend checking out the comments section for some helpful tutorials.

In conclusion, I want to apologize for my mistake and acknowledge Katolilly's original work. I hope that by bringing this up, I can set things right and encourage other artists to give proper credit where it's due.
