Last art lesson for the night. Unfortunately, it’s one you’ve heard before.   

Never do this. It’s one thing to take inspiration, it’s another to trace, and it’s even worse to tell the original artist you did not trace even though way too much lines up to be a coincidence.
   

Mistakes are made. What you need to do is own them.
    
And PLEASE, do not do this and try to sell it. You are literally robbing the artist who inspired you. Of money, of exposure, of respect. Don’t do it.
    
This is why a lot of people are annoyed at my new dA watermarks. :p Too bad this one didn’t go over her face.

  1. becdecorbin said: it’s terrible when an artist who obviously has skill has to rip off another artist, a waste of talent and ethically questionable too. Hell, this artist could have just copied official art but instead went with your art. wtf

    I think a lot of younger artists don’t understand what “reference” means.
