Artist's Comments

Konoka and Setsuna from Negima!

...

:ohnoes: DO OVER!

We recently deleted a couple of our deviations. The old 'KonoSetsu the 5th' being one of them. We felt it was necessary to uphold our artistic integrity. :cries:

On a completely unrelated note, what are you guys' views on using references and on taking inspiration from other people's works?

...I need to use refs ALL THE TIME. So references are good.

As is this picture.

Noted: References = good

But where is the line between using a reference and copying? :confused: That's what has me feeling bad :(

If the finished piece looks exactly--or close to--the same as the reference, then it's a copy.

Nice work! You're improving. ;)

Inspiration from other work? Couldn't do without it. Copying someone else's art doesn't get you any money, prolly shouldn't post it anywhere, but god does it make you better.

I no longer copy down art, but I take plenty of inspiration, not much direct reference though.

92% of the teen population would be dead if Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it wasn't cool to breathe anymore. Put this in your signature if you're one of the 8% who would be watching and laughing.
i agree with what you said about copying making you better. Now, don't get me wrong, it's bad to steal other people's art and call it your own, but... doing it more like an exercise helps cuz it helps you see what how your own work is progressing, and it's useful for helping you hone your skills. Did that make sense? :confused:
