Look at this dude here. He is 16 (or at least he says he is) and look at his first submission.

Pretty good! Pretty good for a 16-year-old that showed up on FA just a few hours ago. Too good.

I suspect he is just re-coloring other people's art (and doing a poor job), but nowhere does he credit the original artist. Not cool.

Now if you take this pic:

and compare it with this pic:

Look at the smiles between the one on the blue canine, and Jailbird's art. It the exact same smile. Based on that, I believe the original art is JailBird's, but I can't seem to find it. Also, if you zoom in, and follow the leash, and the tops of the ears, you can tell it has been recolored.

So...is this type of thing allowed on FA? I know recoloring art is okay, as long as you get permission from the artist, and you credit the original work, and don't claim the whole thing as your own.

But nowhere does this person state that...
