aw come on lilblkrose ‘w’/ wonderlland is willing to let staff be the judge of it, plus the fact that infos on where the art is derived is neatly placed, it shows the artist has nothing to hide ‘w’/
A Discord member told me I should try to help you understand the concept of using inspiration and reference in case you don’t… (tho it would of helped if joined the ToS Art Discord so we could of directed you the right and legal direction)
Please do not take this as being rude, I trust that you would be able to understand what I meant, but I was asked to do this… It would be nice if you try to work on your own original instead of waiting for staffs to dismiss it for being AGAINST the rules, after the deadline.
For me it is totally acceptable, and more, it is much better than many arts of the contest, I would say that it is in 3rd place. He showed that he copied and really is just the pose, he deserves to participate in this art contest.
From an artist’s perspective, this is plagiarism without question. Strange how most of the hair strands fall exactly in the same place; leads me to believe most of the pose was traced directly rather than “inspiration.”
Also the breasts look like they were added on as an afterthought since they’re not in the right angle/position (more evidence that artist was just tracing?)
