>>19847165That's the thing that confuses me.
Nene is blatantly a good artist yet she chose to blatantly trace.
I've done pieces plenty of times over the years, you don't trace directly from the source material, you take that piece, you sketch over it yourself, maybe change some orientations and scales, pixelate it, trace back over that THEN you begin your outlining.
This way you aren't making a blatant trace, just using something as a general foundation to what you want to do, you are making it your own.
This shit happens all the time in the creative industries. There's still multiple games being sold with blatant IP infringements that got settled out of court and some not even that!
At least the Nene case wasn't seen as malicious by the parties involved. Still bewildering.
