Ooo! Your art looks really good, would you mind drawing my Lalafell later on? I recently changed races and I love her appearance so much.
Took off her accessories, since you can't glamour them..

[Mizore_Canaan]

You can glamor your accessories btw ^__^

Edit: was in response to Bella

Oh wow, woke up to this o.o

First, let me just say though, I adore Shunya Yamashita. I do try to follow his style, I have his Sweet Dreams artbook, and I also own the powergirl figurine by kotobukiya. With that said though, calling it trace is kind of hurtful in a way, since I did the sketch and everything :c But let me just say that I've never traced anything. I'm also sure that if you really look for them, you'll find similarities everywhere on all my other pictures because I do follow his style. But when you said that you couldn't find the exact originals of my other drawings, has it ever occurred to you that it's actually.. an original? I can show you the sketches I did on paper for the pictures I've posted here, but I know it's not going to change people's mind once they made up. Plus, I know people still are not going to be convinced either way.

I missed the first reference someone made a few pages back since I didn't really check everyday. Would've liked to explain then

To not derail the thread even further and force the thread to be locked, I think I'll stay out of this thread ^^; I don't want this thread to be locked and then buried, because we have so many talented artists and I do love to see more art from people. But you've got to let me at least finish up the pending requests, because I know some people are waiting for them and I'd hate to disappoint them.

on a more on-topic note...

Please do not leave the thread, your artwork is beautiful and all of the people asking for pictures is proof of that.

I don't think anyone cares if you trace. Lots of people trace. The problem is making money off of it.

I don't know anything about Japanese copyright or work-for-hire laws, but Yamashita - although an independent artist - has been an employee of Squenix and Bamco in the past. The last thing you want to do is take commission on drawings that are strikingly similar to originals owned by international corporations.

Just saying.

I was pretty much going to type up something similar to this but you beat me to it, I'm fairly certain most people here don't mind that you're tracing/being inspired by anothers art just don't charge people for something like this, that said I think it is nice of you to do these requests for people I just wish they would take it to another thread as I have seen about 20 of these requests and it's kinda annoying.

I partially agree. Tracing is fine, it's a way to learn drawing and develop your own style.
However, going around and making people think the art is yours is not okay, even if you're not making money with it.

I would have been willing to change my mind about a trace or two, but not after the person actually said "I've never traced anything!" when they obviously have.
