Not the OP, but I think the point is the fact that it wasn't reference anymore, but tracing.

I remember seeing an article on this, but I thought it was really minor and involved the covers only or something like that.

But shouldn't it look exactly the same if it was tracing? If there's enough differences -- which I personally think there is in this case -- then it's reference. But maybe I got the definitions of the words wrong, I dunno ^_^;

I remember seeing some article about it too, years ago. Still, I don't find this to be so bad... It's not on the level of Kayono or anything, if you know what I mean.

Well, I believe this wouldn't warrant a Slam Dunk boycotting or something along those lines, but still, I believe I see the OP's point-- I think we as manga readers believe these people are skilled like whoa, wouldn't need to trace like we humble readers need to when we can't get a pose right. And proof of the tracing kind of takes away that illusion and the respect so... :/

But yeah, it's not as bad as Kayono. Even I can't take the allegations regarding Kayono tracing Calvin Klein ads and magazine ads too seriously compared to the fact that she plagiarized Kazusa Takashima ._.

totally doesn't look like tracing to me. Different shading, backgrounds and stuff... and btw, I know a /lot/ of professional artists who use light tables for this kind of thing. I think the whole "pose theft" scandalz are way out of proportion.

Re: 30.

[infected-wound.livejournal.com]

Well, if he took the background and everything, it would obviously be very bad. XD

Actually, I don't think it's "pose theft" per se. But bah, now I want to hear professional opinions on this thing :d Something like that 8D

I think (in a legal sense) its okay provided that the photograph the drawing was traced from is not copyrighted. I could be horribly wrong though.

But... it is sad when good artists rely on photo references too much for tracing their art. Greg Land, I think at least, is a great artist! ... When he's not tracing poses from pornos.

I think I remember hearing something about the NBA magazine pics being copyrighted though?

Yeah, I think that's the problem really. They're good. Don't really need tracing D;
