Final Fantasy fanart

I was browsing around when I stumbled upon this picture:

[img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89/chocolatecappuccino/p1.jpg[/img]

It reminded me of something from a doujinshi and the pixel quality made me suspicious, so I checked out the rest of the artists gallery. I'll just add a couple of pictures here.

Why the small size one can wonder. Then I looked at the last picture the "artist" submitted:

[img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89/chocolatecappuccino/p4.jpg[/img]

The address on the picture led me to this page: [url]http://coco.raceme.org/[/url]

This can't possibly be me being overly suspicious, right?

Ha. Not at all.
Heavily pixellated images, and thumbnail-sized uploads of pictures that are obviously much bigger in fullsize are dead giveaways of plagiarism.
Also, that link you gave has none of the other pictures you showed other than Aeris.
And, none of the picture styles match.

Of course, nothing can be done without proof. And proof is what I don't have. Confused

Leotaku, if you're not going to help us search, then posting about it is not going to help us any.

The Aeris one was easy to trace, and has now been dealt with.

I found the Squall pic. It's facing the other way, but it could have been easily flipped around. The version I found is an avatar...but we get the basic idea of[url]http://digiworld.altervista.org/squall.jpg[/url]
