Draw your Character

[Tharian]

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.

This is not Art Theft. If it were then the following images would be impossible (and they are not as they are all over the Internet):




For reference, these images represent a well-known meme. The meme in question is named the "Yandere Trance" and originates from an image of one of the characters of the Anime series "Future Diary" also known as "Mirai Nikki" in Japan. The character in question is named "Gasai Yuno" and is the living embodiment of the Axe-Crazy & Yandere Girlfriend Tropes. Here is the original source image for your reference:



What you have here is an example of what is called an "Exploitable" image. These are image templates that are missing defining characteristics and are thus easy to edit. They are extremely popular on image-boards like 4chan, and unless I am mistaken, do not count as Art-Theft, because if it did, 4chan and various other image-boards would be facing heavy lawsuits. That is all this is.

Oh, and yes, some of the images in the Yandere Trance Meme (not counting the original) are in fact done by professional Anime and Manga Artists who accept money for their artwork. Point is, this is a phenomenon on the Internet. You need to learn to deal with it. Heck, Anime and Manga Artists have been pulling this kind of stunt off on each other for decades… look at all the Rei Ayanami and Shana clones out there for the proof of the fact! Heck Bandai does it to itself, what with its mountain of Char Clones. If big name studios can get away with it, why can’t one no name individual?
