have u draw this?....its very nice...:-O

I would have voted higher had this been a "colouring in" competition. Full marks for managing to keep within the lines of the illustration though
@silencer32 No they didn`t draw it (but they want you to think they did!)

I agree with Geexman. Methinks your SBS is very misleading...it doesn't matter if you got the person's consent, you basically just copied and traced all the art. Not very orginal. Sorry... With your skills, you could have made a really nice entry here...you should try again.

who wants to see the SBS file, it's uploaded here:

...maybe i'm not verry original but ....however you say!!!!...although I don't see why should demonstrate that ?!!?!??!....quat erat demonstrandum!!!

just like an ideea!!! ....reading my step 11 from my SBS.....for mode and maybe some loosers who complained !!!!!
and cosidering that:....source 1 is not a reference....just a source with under licensed 3.0....!!!!

i just want to till you that your work are very good and ,and i wish for you good luck and i'm try to study your sbs

The point being made is that you have simply coloured in another illustration and your SBS is structured to mislead. Whilst "losers" & "mods" can see that its legal, the fact is that step one shows the line drawings alongside your "colouring" giving the effect that you have drawn it! .....SO why did you originally name source 1 as "reference" if not to mislead and why not show the illustration source as a whole?

i posted my sbs...who want to understand...uderstood that..maybe next time some people, understand that , not everyone steals!!! and first reading with carefully what is available and then accuse!!!

Your entry seems to be within the rules and guidelines however I'm not the moderator for this contest.
I do agree with our fellow members Geexman and gamemastertips, your SBS was misleading whether that was intentional or not the inference is the same. Those comments while of a negative nature were not worded in a vicious or derogatory way yet you felt it necessary to refer to detractors as "loosers" which I assume means "losers". Had you responded in a simple academic manner I would have respected your answer more.

@spaceranger......i don't say who is the looser here...i said about those who complained..... for example: hey teacher....teacher !!!! ....John made me stupid!!!...am I , or not...!?

very good author, like the idea of difference. Contrast in colouring is brilliant

I actually think this is clever and well done. Good luck.

Its strange the things you can find on this internet thingy ....this kinda makes your step one even more deceptive (oh and this image isn`t licensed to adapt upon) - http://piotsh.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1dkjk2.

i now that link geexman.....but in my sbs and the same PSD file i showed how i did...if you don't believe me ... don't belive that!!!...simple!!!..do you insinuate something?...tell me directly!!!!!...similar but not the same....and over all this it's the same source....anything else?...btw...what did you say for this link....http://piotsh.deviantart.com/art/Nicolai-Puppetmaster-154446782?????
here is a similar example:
http://crazychelie.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2a35c6.....http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4a2e561e17876/Crazy-Lady.html
here nobody said it would not be original or stolen...why?....do you want another example?...just saying...i have another!!!!
PS

if you show one work of mine that I stolen I agree with everything you say or do ..... but until then stay quiet .... life is too short to make a heart disease!!!..and another thing from now one pls!!!... ignore me.........Mr. Originality...wich you are!!!

Author, Geexman's recent post had nothing to do with originality. The point being is that the coloring is blatantly identical to http://piotsh.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1dkjk2, and the copyright is for "no derivative works." No one is saying that you cut and pasted the entry, it's just the fact that the coloring is pretty much duplicated.

@gamemastertips....You geexman's lawyer? or the second Mr. Originality?......i have a doubt about you, i should add quotes....

I like the one on the right. Good luck!

Nicely done
