[Cosplay Soul Calibur]

Yep it's offical. All you do is copy

Once again, a quick google has found that all you did was copy. This time you barely changed anything.

Show me something original in your fanart, and I will actually enjoy it. Just copy and not really be original, and I will just give the credit completely to the original creator of the character..

This is to be expected though, as I know your kind.

[Penelo]

Looks an awful lot like this one...

Looks an awful lot like that one I was able to google in 2 seconds.

Please, for the love of god, try to be original and stop copying other people. It's very rude to the person who actually came up with the pose. Minor changes in arms and facial expressions are not going to hide the fact that you did this.

I'm am almost positive I can find the original picture if I look up every last one of your drawings.

In fanart, I'd rater see it be as original as possible, which means no copying of poses. The less copying, the better, seeing as it's already just fanart and that is why you are better of being as original as possible, rather than just copying something and only making a few slight changes in order to hide this fact.

Sev4 responds:

Okay. I read your comments, thanks for sharing your (repetitious) opinion.
I've never seen this picture before working on mine.
I could explain the purpose of my work on that kind of pictures and what they're bringing to me, but I don't think you actually care
so, whatever...

[Cosplay Final Fantasy IX]

Just a direct copy of the pose

Like your Midna, you have just directly copied the official artwork, this time making very very minor changes, mainly in just the face and slightly longer hair.

I very much frown upon fanart when it only just copies the official artwork and is not in any way original.

Nicely drawn, but that really is not much to say when you copy stuff.

[Midna Cosplay]

All you did was copy a pose, and...

That's all you did. You copied this pose:

As nice as it is drawn. I would rather have seen it not be such a direct copy of the pose with only minor details like the arms position and the facial expression being changed.

I also noticed you have done this in some other drawings as well, like your Eiko drawing. This is a typical trick a lot of anime artists do to get their quick ticket to fame.

Try again, and maybe next time don't directly copy a pose.

[YEAH TOAST]

Interesting approach

It's almost like a Mii version of the character. At least, it makes me think of that anyway. Never played that game, but I've seen enough fan art to know who the character is, and I like your approach on it.

Good stuff.

[Manly Men]

It's cool

I like how each guy matches his theme perfectly. My favorite would have to be the body builder guy, followed by the logger, and then the hunter.

Great stuff, I especially like how the log looks. There's just something MANLY about the log.

thdark responds:

Thanks, you like them in the order they are in, huh? Nifty coincidence.

[Stag Beetle]

Very good.

I especially like the attention to detail in the texture of the beetle. Very well done, I can't think of any flaws in this.
