"the" implying only one traced picture.

because everything ever is 100% original, and not in any way ever similar to anyone else's work.
Picasso wasn't an idiot, you know.

to quote a post on the black and white version of this *ahem*

"YAAAAAAAHHHH!!"

"WAAAUUUUGGHHH!!!"

It's amazing how people are quick to attack some relatively unknown artist for tracing, but when it's someone who's well known and popular, they dismiss it as "it's just one pic plus can you prove it?", without even wondering is it really just one pic, and did the artist actually trace before?

If I remember the drama correctly, someone did a Flash showing the Porn overlayed with this image and it was almost spot on. And frankly, the internet masses be damned, if I catch tracing and can prove it. I call it

I love how people call trace, and give no evidence.

In fact the one time someone actually DID give evidence it was on a WIP, someone ELSE had traced the WIP and added finishing details. Everyone thought the WIP was the traced thing!!!

But then the WIP turned out to be 3 years before the otehr image.

tl;dr PROOF OR GTFO

tl;dr PROOF OR GTFO

Lol this has already been proven.

And the proof was so total the artist even admitted to it as I recall. Citing timing restraints as an excuse.
Don't forget this is a piece that money was charged for. Personally I find the lazily redone photo background almost as bad. And I can't remember, was it Scappo who stole backgrounds from Serious Sam?

Too bad most popular artists pretty much trace, or borrow heavily from pictures to get the anatomy right, all the time.

Ah, here it is: http://img.tgfb.net/real/src/130203288658.gif

Never thought I'd come across it ever again.

If I were paying for it I would be a little perturbed about it, but in all honesty, ESPECIALLY when coming to fap material, there is enough difference between the two that they are separate. Not that it was right, it's just i like that both exist.

Saying "Do Not Distribute" only serves to get it distributed.
