Not referencing or crediting your sources is really not cool.  Just saying.  Especially when you wouldn’t have been able to create your piece at all without the references you (heavily) used.

This is not saying he directly traced Reshiram.  You are stupid if you thought it was.  He ripped off my entire palettes, colordropping, which I clearly show with the example image.  He “eyeballed” in such a way that he COULD NOT have made his picture without looking and using both of mine the entire time.  This is irrefutable. 

I hate when popular artists get like this. someone makes something similar to them and they flip their shit, claiming people rip them off left and right. I’m pretty sure you don’t own colors, lady, no matter how highly you think of yourself

    Funny how that pre-existing character neither of you own looks so similar in both pictures. That’s so INSANE.
