Draw your Character

[Shenandoah]

Your artwork is beautiful! Would you be willing to do a commission of my character? I don't like to ask for work for free so I would be willing to compensate you for your time.

Thank you! and I'm willing to, of course too bad the forum doesn't have PM system, I wonder how we get in touch outside the forum lol.

I was just going to ignore you, but since you're apparently willing to accept remuneration for art that isn't yours...

That image is a direct trace of Shunya Yamashita's artwork on the left. I couldn't find the exact originals of your other 'drawings', since, frankly, I don't want to spend more time on it than I already have, but I think you'll agree the similarity to Shunya Yamashita's work is quite striking.

I'm sorry for butting in here, but art theft is not okay.

I'm not sure if this constitutes as "art theft" here. The styles seem very similar, but this is not the same exact drawing. They are both different. Unless you can 100% w/o a shadow of a doubt prove the artist just traced over the piece in question, then added ears and their own coloring, I wouldn't be so quick to judge. Seems the artist just really loves that style, and is imitating it.

If you look at the bangs, though, the answer to whether or not she did copy/trace becomes quite obvious.

I did place those two images on top of eachother in Photoshop and adjusted the opacity of the top layer, and the lineart matches up perfectly (aside from the hair and ears, of course, and the right cheek is a few pixels wider). You can do the same with the image I posted, if you want, I already saved you the trouble of scaling them to the same size.

I'm sorry, but... how would you feel if someone else got paid for work you did, or took credit from you in any other way? It doesn't only apply to art.

Well, this thread just got interesting! If this goes anywhere, it would be a pleasant break from the tons of picture requests that have been going on (seriously, make a new thread people!).

But yeah, a few pages back someone had asked if they were a fan of Shunya Yamashita. I had no clue who they were, so had to do some googling and I found that same picture you referenced. Was a bit shocked as well.

While people like to throw out "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", sure, that's nice, but it's very anecdotal. I've had someone steal my personal pictures before and claim that they were me. That was not flattering. That was down-right creepy and wrong. I doubt the original artist would be thrilled about someone else tracing their work and taking commissions.
