Redirect to original
Description
The lineart for this I drew like.. back in '02ish. xP back when I was a Digimon nut.Anyways, its Garurumon, from the First Season of Digimon.
I came across it, and was bored, so I decided to try a new technique of shading. Didn't turn out the best, but oh well.
I did use a ref pic (the original had Matt, Tai, and Augumon), but that was 5 years ago. I've no idea where the original lies now. But credit to the original artist who came up with the pose. x)
And I know it has alot of flaws. I barely tweaked the lineart, wasn't really trying to hard.

You traced this.

I hope you are properly ashamed of yourself. Nothing is more disgusting that someone who traces another's work and passes it off as their own.

Please do your research before you accuse people of tracing. Theres nothing wrong with using an image for a reference. I superimposed my image over the one I used for a reference and you can clearly see that it is not traced. In fact, mine is very poorly done compaired to the reference.
Here's the superimposed image.

Feel free to super impose the image yourself as evidence on your end. You'll find that my muzzle is too thin, the shoulder on mine is farther forward than the image, the spines are all wrong, and that it just doesn't add up, no matter how you distort mine.

Yes there is, damn it, when your mockery of art is an exact copy of the work you're copying. It shows laziness and lack of talent, as well as lack of respect for artists who are more talented than you.
I don't care about the slight differences. If you're gonig to use someone else's work as a reference, you don't make a near exact copy of it and submit it as your own work.
Now, you can give me your bullshit about 'omg the muzzle is to small' or whatever, but this is still not entirely your work. By submitting it as a deviation, you claim this to be entirely your work.

Using an image as a reference is not theft. There's nothing wrong with it, thats how people improve. I normally use my own dog to study anatomy, using an image online is the same thing.
The way I see it, as long as I don't sell the image, there's no harm done. I'm simply showing an image I had done and was proud of.

The shading of the skin looks pretty good, despite the fact that you said it is not the best shading in the world.

Thank you. ^^ I was mostly just experimenting with the burn and dodge tool of Photoshop. Plus I'm a hard critic of my work.
