for those who are doubting my son’s arts, check his instagram account : francodominicrodriguez
thank you.
stop the hate. if you dont like what you are seeing then leave. stop dissing. constructuve criticism is fine. great artists help each other and not bring each other down. keep your ill manners and negativity to yourself. thank you.




OK FINE!
I just watched a timelapse from the account. it is now a proven fact that he doesn’t trace. but it’s a undeniable fact that almost every picture and video of an iconic character from Gaming/Media matches the art style of the source material, i at-least want an explanation for that
the art is referenced, if that helps
i speaking of the pictures and video that show no reference photo
the reference photo was probably to the side and out of frame for the sake of clarity
ah
…son?
the person on his account right now is franco’s mom
Yeah I got very confused so I checked his profile and stuff
Seems like Franco is a kid that copies some images and paints them at his way
Nice drawings but people say he traces them and just prints, it’s amazing that the drawing is so good that it makes it look like prints, they are just copies of the original image but that doesn’t mean it’s bad or mediocre, he has talent for such age
Anyways I checked further more and this is for francos parents
They tell people to have better manners and stuff and yeah respect is important yet, his mother reacted very aggressively knowing she is in favor of respect, calling somebody a fag8ot and I’m just saying, they need to be respectful when talking with others, we know they acted wrong but still, you don’t want to be like them, you should aim for the best
i guess i went overboard. i admit it. but soon you will understand where i am coming from and why i said the things i have said. sometimes a bully deserves to have a taste of their own medicine.
i am very protective when it comes to my kid. we arent paying for therapies etc just to be ruined by people who are vey ignorant and mean. we paid for this sticknode because he wanted this and we thought this would also expand his knowledge about arts, because users here are artists also for sure, thats why we gave in. only to find out that this platform would only cause him emotional distress. worse, he is not telling me what he feels. he sulks. but i am his mother and i know when he is feeling down. i checked on his tablet, and he left this accoj t open. read the negative comments, and saw how helpless my son is. we try our best to improve his condition, but there will always be monsteres eveywhere. and i want my son to see and to know that i will back him up always! no matter what.
Okay thats really stupid.
So
You wanted your child to have a better improvement at his abilities by exposing him to social media knowing that with his condition this would harm him a lot?
You as parents should be more conscious about what you’re giving to a 10 year old
Giving bullies their own medicine has never helped and never will, it’s just a snowball that grows bigger and bigger
Maybe Franco is not ready to meet online users yet
They are horrible people who can insult and bully others in the confort of their homes
And it’s even worse knowing he has psychological issues
It’s good to defend your kid but I want to let you know
Your enemy is miles away and insults won’t stop him
Instagram is a great place to share his art with all policies and ways to block trolls, stick nodes community is kinda primitive with all the drama that comes everyday
My suggestion would be sharing art on instagram and keeping your child away from stick nodes community until he’s ready
thats what i am tfying to do now after seeing how primitive the sticknodes community could get. but i cant stop him from making sticknodes arts here because he likes it. what i can do now is to religiously monitor this account and check on his interactions here. but that doesnt mean i will tolerate bullies here. thanks for the advice. preciate it.
That’s what I mean
He can use the app and show his work at instagram or other safe websites
Jack, I agree what you said about me being the sort of “enemy” which is true in most part but Franco’s mom. Your son isn’t ready for people like me to spout criticizm which in reality is Constructive Critisizm so you saying Faggot which means bundle of sticks does nothing to us frankly that just gives me more power to keep on
do you even understand what a constructuve ctiticism means? your comments were destructive. if it wasnt destructive, you wouldnt even hear from me. like i said, i would do anything to protect my kid from your kind. if you want to go on dissing my kid, then that explains what kind of behavior you have and how you were raised. that would be the time for me to stop and not stoop down to your level.

You are a bad mom
A ten year old with an Facebook account? You’re asking to get hate
I mean, all due respect
But it is a very bad idea to have someone as young as him to have an Facebook account.
he doesnt have a facebook account. you know how to read, right?
if i am a bad mom then franco would have been a bad kid like you. my kid is kind, he shows compassion to others and he doesnt bring people down. we raised him to be a good boy and we are proud that he didnt grow up to be like you.
Ahem… you are being a bit agressive Franco’s mom.
Ik, I just explained that
You said that he did.
I am gonna quote you here
“check his instagram account : francodominicrodriguez”
HIS INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT
Sounds like he has one
Once again
Very bad Idea for someone as young as him to have an Instagram account
oh my god. thank you for telling me this. im just pretty sure that he doesnt know anything about porn yet. he may be 10 but he is really innocent. yiu see, he is special..
For gods f*cking sake you think I am a bad kid! I’ll have you know I am a EXTREMELY nice person with a dark sense of humor if you heard me talking in like discord Xbox or anything like that you’d see I am a really nice person who is an asshole sometimes but that’s part of me and if you don’t like that then go the hell away
i wasng referring to you. i dont even remember you commenting. i was referring to the cookie guy.
if you noticed all of that kid’s comments, you would know why i got mad. he even told other kids praising my son’s artworks that my franco stole this art. why would he spread rumors like tat? why all that hate for my kid? the others were praising franco’s art, but this kid went his way to comment again and make those people believe that franco stole the art. that kid is full of hatred and jealousy in his heart. pity.
1 Nobody said that we are jealous of Franco’s art.
2 You are being very aggressive with some people you do not really know.
3 You’re ruining yourself since you said you’re educating Franco well but come to insult people here, I think that’s not a very good example of your teachings towards Franco.
read the rude comments first. then you would know whefe i am coming from. we welcome constructive criticism. franco is a good boy and follows his peers advice. but we dont tolerate disses. specislly when it involves false accusations. there were people who praised franco’s venom art, but this one particular kid commented again and said franco only stole the art, franco only traced blah blah. why would he ruin someone’s reoutation over and over? i wouldnt interfere if it ddnt make a neative impact on my kid. research and check the comments on francos profile before you guys tell me im overreacting.
Franco I want to think about this there are bad people in the world I’m not one of them (hopefully not) the reason why we said he traced it is because it look# very identical to ones I find on google. Now that is out the way I want you to realize something I am a nice person I’m catholic I help when I’m needed 95% it’s a crying shame that I act like this yes I but this is how I act in real life and on the internet
I take your answer and transform it: do not you think that the insults you made towards the “child” who made the bad comments about Franco’s drawing could also affect him?

Gonna just say that 1) I’m not convinced you are your mum and 2) please quit whining like a sissy and grow some.
This all started cause somebody said you weren’t perfect and tokd youhow to improve.
It’s called criticism.
A good animator will appreciate it and use it.
You are claiming people are mindlessly attacking ypu yet they AREN’T. Please understand that. It’s hard to refrain from being angry at you for stirring so much trouble up just to get attention but I will stay professional.
Simply put, delete this thread, grow some balls and fix what they told you to fix.
it started because of tracing accusations.
also yeah, it probably is his mom, the difference in behavior is way too dramatic for me to be able to think otherwise
No it started because I gave a suggestion
the whole drama started because Franco posted art and people were skeptical that it was traced
for me, it ain’t really traced, its more or less “heavily referenced”
traced is directly tracing every detail from the reference image
meanwhile what franco does is take that image and transform it into a movable stickfigure.
the accusations, from what ive heard are just pure underestimations from the lots and lots of complexors imo.
i wasn’t agreeing with the tracing arguments, i was just stating that they existed and that they started drama
damn nigga thats harsh

I mean
Crude language is okay
But racist language
I mean
It’s just unnecessary dude
I don’t know what to tell you bro but I wouldnt take what these niggas is sayin as criticism. all they really did was call him a tracer
User Banned
WHAT DID I JUST SAY
what?
what you so mad for
read the negative comments they made at franco’s venom art. dont tell my 10 year old kid to grow some balls. he takes constructive criticisms and apply his peers suggestions. i wouldnt interfere if there were no below the belt comments here. research before you comment. thanks.
User Banned
Then why isn’t he taking it now, why does he refuse to actually listen to them rather than simply whine about being ‘bullied’.
I think rather than myself researching, i think you need to tighten some loose screws woman.
I agree with dezway
Way too dramatic of behavior
Plus the way it is typed is different than how Franco types. And even the way it’s worded is different.
And if you think this is bad you haven’t seen a true helicopter parent
Well, whether if you’re Franco’s mom or not and this is about tracing and all that whatnot, just please monitor his activity and tell him to stay away from the toxicity of some people and some groups, the sticknodes community can be unstable at times, and monitoring it is the right thing to do for someone his age.
I’m someone who likes what he does, and this is a good start for a young artist like him, just please don’t overreact, and tell him some life lessons that he can learn to not make any misunderstandings like this again.
i undrstand. but he is not the one who started all this. he just posted his artwork of venom and there were kids who accused him of stealing over and over. thats why i interfered. i wouldnt interfere if the issue can be handled by a 10 year old boy with special needs.
the accusstions msde him feel bad and worse, he did not tell me and just pretended he was sleepy thats why he went back to bed. even if he just woke up. then i checked his tablet and saw the negative comments here. i knew then and there that this affected him negatively. thats why from now on j will be monitoring eveything here.
*cough* stalker *cough*
Also if you are, you better get used to the crude words and jokes.
Jokes such as the one I just told you.
Don’t post something online and expect it to recieve innocent feedback. Why even post this here for random blokes to see (not trying to offend anyone). If you want to show off your son’s arts or whatever, do that on Facebook.

@ralph
he freaking posted a halfway done pic of the art
y’all are idiots
… why would you even care (If your francos mom and I highly doubt that your not) THIS IS A CHILDS WAR
But next time… Pls don’t post any drawings or something like that here… This ain’t FaceBook and we don’t like dramas…
Fock dramas…
rest in rip
he’s actually a very talented artist, that’s for sure, I’ve seen his instagram account, that color shading is 10/10
but regarding this whole, whatever this is here, I’m sorry but that’s the internet for you
I keep this place pretty tame and light-hearted, but I’m not going to go full PG and make sure everything is flowers and rainbows all the time or else you’re banned
yes, some people here are unnecessarily ass-y sometimes, but a lot of it is just people trolling for a laugh, but when the troll-ee responds negatively – no matter where you are on the internet – you just “fed the trolls” and it will only get worse
point is, there’s no way you’re going to protect your son from “the internet” especially if he’s sharing any sort of creative work, there’s always gonna be people just antagonizing for a laugh
I have to say this place isn’t bad at all, it’s still small enough of a community where everyone knows everyone and it never gets “serious”
…and as for the “porn” thing that was mentioned above (lmao), it’s a private group only visible to people who are specifically allowed in
I mean… Yea. I admit I kinda screwed up. A bit too harsh here and there which I apologise for.
I often deal with art theft, nearly on daily basis (I am a moderator of few art & animation communitities). I guess I had developed sort of stigma. There had been few of issues even when using a base. One person uses it, doesn’t say it was a base, then another person uses the base and people start getting confused. On one of those communities we even made a rule to even post the original source if it was traced or it was a base.
While the venom art is good, it is also heavily referenced 😐
It’s a shame really, but for example if someone used my art for a reference to replicate from without giving me credit, I’d get angry at it myself. This is why I end up finding these stuff kinda not ethical to artistic etiquette.
Once again, I apologise for being too harsh, your son is definitely talented one, but also would be great to be mindful when reposting, recreating, using someone’s work without giving away proper credit to the owner.
*Quietly sips tea*
But anyhow has he done a dragon yet
I’d like to request that
I dont know what are peoples deal honestly, Even if the art was traced or heavily referenced its still a very impressive piece of art. Specially for a kid that age! Hell im like fourteen years old and i cant even barely color like that. Though not sure why people are so mad when its just a kid trying to impress people with his art, i really dont. I guess it really shows how toxic some peeps are in this website.
