This User's Gallery Looks Like a Bunch of Screenshots Traced

Edward_Elric_1308

I'm pretty sure he/she took a screenshot and traced over them. I'm suspicious, but I don't know if it's true.

Here's some examples:

They look just like the original artists (meaning the creators of the animes) who drew them.

Wow. I just KNEW it did look stolen, and I hadn't said anything until now. Thanks for hearing me out.

Also, on some of the pics., it looked pixelated around the edges. . . . .

Um, just now I found another InuYasha picture, that I'm SURE had to be traced over. The artist claimed that he/she DID NOT use a reference picture.

As far as the violations go, can anyone find some originals to compare with?

Yes, I did. Very Happy

I was just unsure if I should have posted the link, because someone told me I could.

[quote]yes, by all means[/quote]

I asked, and they said I COULD post the link.

As far as the link shall go, I will kindly remove it.

(Whoops, it's already removed.) Dizzy

Since I apparently cannot post the link to the user's gallery, the second InuYasha image I posted came from a gallery who, although the pictures looked fantastic, the pictures were TOO good to BE TRUE. They had a gallery full of wht looked like screenshot tracings. They had many InuYasha tracings, a Kagome tracing, and an Ash (from Pokemon) tracing.

----------------------------------

A little off this topic, but still about stolen fanwork, I noticed that a user submitted a Shippo chibi IDENTICAL to the one [size=9](....Should I post the original owner's name here?)[/size] eevee1 has on her website, SutaRaito.com.

this artist I feel is actually a good artist. I've compared those pics before and have found some differences in each pic. They also have some original art there that is really good too. If you look at the Sailormoon pic in their gallery, that is original art, and it looks really good. They are just a talented artist. My art itself my look like it's traced but I have never traced a pic in my life. It' just hard these days to believe an artist sometimes when they have good art now a days.

The first Ed Elric one is a valid art submission. I know who the artist is. :/

Here's the make process of it, as posted on her dA:

Her InuYasha one is pretty old, but it's also valid. :/

Um, so sorry for the confusion....I've always been told to report drawings that look stolen, but if they did draw it, then they must be good. Embarassed
