Why do artists feel the need to shit all over their work like this?

because of deviantart, its traced: post #74117

To be fair, there's a lot of plagiarism on Pixiv too: source:*pixiv* derivative_work

Ha ha, wow, how lame. Someone who traces someone else's work but feels the need to watermark it so that others won't "steal" it.

What a loser.

Their not, its away to keep shitheads like you from fucking with their stuff.

Given it's a trace in the first place, it doesn't seem to have worked very well.

But is it? The only thing the two pictures have in common is the pose.

Its a trace. Its far too exact to be passed off as being similar.

Ether got it right.
Perhaps some of you don't know how to use pictures for pose referrence without tracing them. It appears most of you think like that. She didn't trace it, she looked at the original every now and then.

Yes, I was there.
