@w1ckedsticky1983 Indeed, I have made this reference for the one I am Making right now if you saw the latest post

[st4tic]

[Innocent]

@st4tic Actually yes

[Innocent]

[st4tic]

@Innocent screenshots?

[Innocent]

@st4tic Yes I'll try to send screenshots

[st4tic]

@Innocent please at least send them soon...? if you take too long it'd be way easier to assume you faked them

[seal]

@st4tic if they really did use a reference rather than trace, why would they need to credit author? genuine question sorry

[Evil Overlord]

@seal because their trace is near identical to the original, just with minor color changes, while claiming it to be their own work

[st4tic]

using references is a completely different thing than tracing. the latter, much like recoloring, is basically something frowned upon if the author is not credited. that's because you just take the original image, trace the lineart, and since you don't specify the author that means you're also claiming the art is yours.

in this case he explicitly stated the art is his when he did not credit the author he used the "reference" from anyways.

@st4tic Here you go And I had to fricking wait cause of this
