    The first image is a line for line copy of another (better) piece of artwork on DeviantArt. I used the much higher quality original as my desktop for many months, but I didn't bother to find out which RE character it was meant to be, so sadly I can't find it again.


    Don't support plagiarism. There's a good artist out there who's going to be shocked to find his artwork ripped off.

    There's nothing worse than someone who traces art and passes it off as their own original creation after making small minor changes.

    The guy might be a good artist, but he, or whomever did his website, is a real idiot.


    If the main page takes a long-ass time to load for someone with high-speed internet, then you have officially failed as a webdesigner.

    Plus poor navigation, large images.

    And who on earth has a movie on the frontpage like thaT?

    Sure, the site sucks, but what's most important is that he his Jill image is copypasta:

    Scroll down to #342. If there's something wrong with the link, google "Ryu's Form Site", enter the gallery and hit page 018, then scroll down.

    @unangbangkay: To be honest, I had my suspicions, but it was late and I didn't feel like researching. Thank you though, this proves once again along with what stupid_mcgee showed, that a lot of vector-artists are plagiarists, and I feel ashamed.


    @stupid_mcgee: uber pyro > zerg rush: [www.illustratorworld.com] this image is no good, though. It's just an automatic trace by Adobe Illustrator and the "creator" did little to no work on it.


    Really nice work the first time you worked with vectors, though. I wish my first work looked like that, but I didn't have 8 hours on it ;D


    @Naop: Only your mom.

    Why am I not surprised to see you on a post featuring an image of Jill Valentine?

    @ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...: Actually, most vector artists do their own original work. They draw something out or take their own photo, then go over it in Illustrator. Shepard Fairey is just an example of a growing trend of artists that don't feel the need to source or ask for permission when using other people's work.


    If you look at a lot of the stuff over at IllustratorWorld.com, a lot of that is original work. Granted, they probably drew it or took their own photo and then went over it in Illustrator, but it's their own work they're tracing.


    Personally, even if it is just for personal showcasing, I think you should source your work. Yes, you're not profiting from it, but you are presenting it as your own work when in actuality the entire concept was done by someone else.


    Hmm. I thought the linked image was an original piece. After googling, I realize that Megan Goode is a celebrity. I thought it was the artist's name. D'oh! *egg on face


    Also, thanks for the compliments! I was very proud of that piece. Unfortunately, I ran out of RAM and wasn't able to do more work on it. I can understand not getting enough time. Most of my other pieces didn't get that much time. Still, I've some pieces that have taken over 1,000 hours to do! Yeah, I know, but they look amazing.

    @stupid_mcgee: uber pyro > zerg rush: Of course not everyone do it. But there's plenty, which makes me sad. They think vector is original enough that taking something already existing and trace it is ok. I remember over at deviantArt there was a woman with over a million visitors who traced screenshots from animes and pretended it was her own work, and then banned whoever called her out as a tracer.


    Most do their own thing, and that is commendable. Only things I trace in illustrator are mundane objects (like a playing card for my own logo) and things you're basically allowed to use. Most often I draw things myself in illustrator, though.


    1000 hours? Sounds tough, but knowing the amazing stuff you can do in Illustrator I can see 1000 hours being put into something. Make me really curious to what you've done. Mind if I take a peek?

    On of the reasons I am very glad that I no longer visit deviantART. The only artists worth a damn there have their own websites or conceptart accounts anyway, so it's just not worth it. 90% of the tARTlets are just a bunch of whiny, self-righteous art thieves that have excessive entitlement issues.

    @Cochese: now with more games.: Cube lacks any color though - she just doesn't fit with a game that has such a large amount of neon lights and graffiti. Mew, on the other hand, fits right in with the Benten lights and street art.


    I disliked her redesign as Rhyth in JSRF, but I could say that for almost everything about JSRF - they just made the game too dark. JSR needs to be colorful. My favorite character altogether is a tie between her and Slate/Soda.
