Does anyone else Annie's "dwemer" look way too much like abunch of pieces Luis Royo did, Its nice but still I felt I had to say something.


Thoughts please

Do you perchance have any links to visuals for comparison? I'd be interested to see the similarities

Yeah, let me find a few.

LOL, same picture. Lokk at this then Annie's Version

www.vyrix.de/aboutme/royo/luisroyofallenangel.jpg

cut and paste this into your browser. or type in Luis Royo Angel into google

COPY CAT I say that only because she didn't say it was a recreation!

I still don't even know who this "Annie" is! Could you paste a link to one of her pieces too please?

And by the way, if her art "looks similar" then that's perfectly legal and fine, not even an immoral thing.

She doesn't have a requirement to tell us where she got her inspirations from.

It's slightly rude that you've come on here just to have a rant at someone's art that looks similar to someone elses....

Hmm annie's work can be found on the fanart section of waiting4oblivion.com

This is the piece in question



It is indeed of remarkable likeness and I believe in this case would be plagiarism since in this case it would require permission from the author and proper documentation for it.

Its not a matter of inspiration, she coppied the piece in question "Luis Ryos Angel" EXACTLY. Thats why I posted

But the question is, why do you care?

Are you this Luis Ryos?

I don't know, either way it shows a great skill on annie's part.

people do that all the time.

So long as they don't try to sell it, then fine.

Yeah I guess you guys are right. I suppose I'm out of line. Forget I brought it up.

Normally i'm fine with 'rips' but those copies should really give credit to the original artist. People may copy all the time, fair enough, but that doesn't give it credence. I appreciate the skill involved in copying a piece of art directly and accurately - but again there must be credit of some sort to the original artist.

I'd be most peeved if someone ripped my art thats for sure lol

I agree with Darkwing.

I cna understand ripping from someon'es art if you then intend to expand on it further to make it truely your own. Even then you should seek permission from the artist to use their or a portion of their work. But straight up copies with out permission or accreditation is plagiarism.

As far as I know reproduction is allowed aslong as you put your own name under it, otherwise it's forgery. Although I'm not to sure about caling it your own. It's poor taste to pass it of a fan art at any rate.

I just removed the picture from the fan art page. The two works are so similar that it is obvious this is plagiarized. If it was inspired and adapted in some way, I would leave it on, but it looks more like a 1:1 copy.

Cool, justice has been done
