Poor guy doesn't realize he'll only get respect if he just works on his own art instead of tracing. I can't say it's malicious stealing because he's upfront about it, but I'd rather have crappy OC than a well made copy.
Tracing is everywhere, even in the professional world, but that doesn't mean it's okay.
In most cases similar styled artworks from two different artists =/= plagiarism, but based on Google translate, he did mention something about using Kiriraitaa as a bases of this image. Not what that means towards anyone but it shouldn't automatic imply plagiarism unless it ridiculously obvious.
Well, on his defense, lots of artists start by copying another guy's works, just how several artists imitated Mazakatsu Katsura glorious style (Among them Gunma), to later on develop their own style. It isn't that bad unless it is downright plagiarizing.
Why don't we let the guy just deliver the story instead of pointing out "TRACE TRACE"?
Yuyu also traced during his beginning, but it was a way for him to get a grasp from various styles, and little by little develop his own style, and we love him for that, why can't we give this new artist the benefit of the doubt for a while?

I would, if I knew what the fuck was going on. BTW, I like the 'trace-trace' - maybe we should make that a commmon tag for this kind of thing, lol.

The problem is how frikkin obvious it is; I could point you to the images he traced if I cared to. Of course, if the guy actually admits he's tracing, than that's no problem, but this certainly goes beyond 'inspiration'.
Personally, I don't see what the big deal is, especially since he admits to the copying. Look at music remixes; for many of them, most if not all of the music used to make them are from difference sources. The artistry is not in the music, but in their combination. You might be able to come up with five or six pictures which, when masked together, makes this one. That doesn't mean there isn't creativity in deciding where to place the masks.

Eye'em going to translate it easy! If mister feels easy about it then please <<take it easy>>; if mister feels uneasy then <<leave it easy>>, okay? If uneasy mister still <<argue it easy>> while feeling uneasy on it then uneasy mister should <<drop dead easy>>! <<Understand it easy>>, okay?
both of them aren't getting money with this right? one of them said he is using the other one works as a bases right? so what is the problem?
