>>5309638>>5309685The cover image in
>>5308784 looks different because the photo they traced over is a different one of the same mold, and the person who noticed it was an LLT Roderich couldn't find the exact photo. Granted, the Zaoll photo (
>>5308861) could be someone using reference, since we don't have the original photo at hand to compare, but why would you even bother defending something like
>>5308940? We aren't idiots, we're aware art ref exists and are not discussing that.
Were you around during the whole Mijne Schaatje debacle? This is clearly not the same thing as being inspired by or referring to photos of dolls (for example, the way the mangaka of Alichino was, who modeled a character on Luts El and was influenced by Luts and Volks in her style; or how Fishcake uses hers as models for paintings, pic related, and several other people on DoA do too). This instead is opening up photoshop, plopping a doll picture in, and playing with vectors, filters and layers for a couple hours.
