Thoughts?

Alright, yesterday I was looking through pictures and came across this one user's gallery...and saw these pictures:

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/Kitsunegirl/324802.gif[/img]

They said they made them from scratch.

Now, I looked at their other pictures as well, and one of their more recent drawings looks like this:

So, I'm highly doubting they made these themselves. I'll try to look on the internet for some of these images to make sure.

These seem to fall under the category of a "trace". There is some artist-drawn content (the dithering is aparently from conversion to GIF), but its resemblance to official art is too close to be coincidental.

Okay, I actually found all the images on the internet. All the artist did was draw the outlines.
Should I send you the account name through PM, or should I post the pictures here?

No, photos and photo manips are not allowed on FAC. The only way a photo can be submitted is if it is being used as part of a background--not as the main focus of the picture.

Actually, Kitzy, you didn't rename your image filenames properly (as you're [i]supposed[/i] to do), so... by the time I posted, we'd already taken care of them. All too easily sourced out in Google.

Looks like there were actually two photos in the user's gallery, one of which the user outright admitted as such. If the user acknowledges it to be against site rules... then good as gone.
