Geez, Don't we find suspicious pictures everyday. I got the member from the recent pictures pile.


There is absolutely no mention on what paper she worked on, what medium she used, how she feels about her picture looking like official picture because of the smooth laydown of CG colors... :wacko: :wacko:


Her gallery is filled with pictures that I think was traced/filtered from official art and actual photographs of her birds. WTF?



Here's a picture, she claims to have drawn it in two separate pieces of paper (for each character) and joined them in photoshop, I don't even know what this series is, it sure looks familiar <_<

And this is familar too

So, people, what's your verdict on this? I didn't erase MEG out of her pictures for the sake of preserving autheticity, and no, you won't get her ID name by searching for it. <_<


Search, people!

As in, you want to look at the artist's gallery? :huh:


sorry, mentioning their name or putting a link to their gallery/profile is strictly prohibited by the punishment of decapitation. It is to make sure the user isn't flamed wheter they really stole the pictures or not.


We've had success with concealing their names except the very first one, and that's partially my fault <_< . but I blame one of their supporters making a thread about it just neon-signing their name all over the thread.

so no... But I gave you plenty of hints where to look for the stolen picture Smile

"Copy art" -- a more proper term for tracing (whether by CG, tracing paper, mirrors, measurement/"grid" method -- it's all the same). It is deceiving. It does not portray the artist's ability to construct anatomy, understand color theory and lighting, or apply unique perspective and foreshadowing. By redrawing an existing picture, they are merely borrowing those skills from another artist, and the only skill of their own is the ability to copy from a picture.

Shame on those who fave a piece of copy art over something that's actually 100.0% the artist's creation. I remember seeing that Superman picture too.

I see that she doesn't comment on most of her 'work'.How odd would that be if you've done a good job and not say anything about it?

could be that "You have better things to do" I do some CG work myself. and I supose If you master your work with the pen tool you can acomplish something like that. Though that first one would be the devil to draw. Mmmmm... Maybe your right.

[quote="Black-Bird (Just call me Wade)"] could be that "You have better things to do" [/quote]
Could it be "People need to suspect picture like this if it looks similar to official pictures and are not in sync with other pictures of that person's gallery?"


Stop goading me. Grr!

Your Right. We should make clean sweeps!
What search engine do you use?

googles the best
I don't like the yahoo one, or MSN

Not yet resolved but being looked into in abuse email. Basically traced pictures don't need AAA topics.
