I will use my discrestion, as far as I'm concerned this is a trace, recolor, what have you... is locked UNTIL I am presented adequate evidence that would suggest otherwise to prevent any resulting flaming...
http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=487.msg5696#msg5696 - You were seen reducing a cg image here. I stand by Helm's opinion.
And, you were questioned here
http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=538.msg6384#msg6384 for color reducing/and cging.
On a side note, be warned that art theft or using someone else's piece and passing it off as your own without credit or in malice is one of the biggest offenses you can do on an art forum, so I HIGHLY suggest for your own sake you consider your next post.
Gazette:
Well, first of all, the art is official, and, i don't really see the point in stating official art as a reference, when its a bit obvious most everyone knows it was made by some guy that works for square. Anyway, sorry for getting so pissy, i just don't exactly enjoy friends getting blamed for being..well, good.
This forum isn't a gallery...it is a place for people to learn, and to receive feed back. No one who posted in this thread thought your friend invented that character, everyone knows who that character is, the problem here was how close that pixel piece looked in relation to the cg image, and the piexl piece appeared to be a cg reduced recolor(Which he's been caught doing once, by another moderator)
In regards to why reference would be needed for something like this is because a. it's an ethical rule that artists post their reference, it's just common courtesy. b. It prevents situations like this from going so far, because his motives won't be questioned, when he doesn't post references and then gets so defensive, it could appear to be in malice.
Feel free to PM me if you have any problems with my decision of locking this post.
