Goddam plagiators. I noticed the original artist and DeviantArt.

i apologise for posting this i didn't realise it was plagiarised, basically pixiv wasn't working for me so i was scrawling through deviant art to find decent VOCALOID pictures. Ironic how one of the best ones i found was stolen.

It might've been alright if they'd said it was an attempt to imitate someone else, or said that they used the original as a base, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

While doing this is fine for your own personal practice, I don't normally regard pieces done in this manner - which doesn't deviate significantly from the original, but only attempt to copy - to be worth posting as your "own" work.

I found the pixiv-uploaded version of this, and posted this:

Jake'm:
I'm guessing you wanted to do your own interpretation of someone else's picture, right? Cause this looks eerily similar to "梅太郎＠ついった"'s pict

(there's a posting limit, who knew?)

And I got this reply back:

Yeap, took that as an reference to practice, not intending to take advantage of it.

So, take that how you want to.
