Hmmm... I thought it was extremely common practice for manga artists to trace photos for buildings and shit like that? Why is this a shock to anyone?

[(Anonymous)]

There's a difference between using modeling programs like sketch up (which TONS of comic artists use, not just manga-style artists), which are made for artists to use; and doing what Neneko did which was add in whatever images she wanted to, even if the image wasn't a stock image she could use.

It's okay to use stock images, 3D programs, and sources that are made for artists to reference. Everyone does that.

It's not okay to use whatever pictures you want without respect for the original artist.

of course you shouldn't use photographs and things that you don't have the rights to, but don't think that stock images/self-taken photographs aren't widely used to great effect and without causing offense in the real comics/manga world.

[(Anonymous)]

In manga, they have loads and loads of 'trace' books where an artist can use stock images for backgrounds, objects and whatnot. It's a pretty common practice and considering that comics in Japan come out at a faster pace than the ones here in the US, it's pretty smart.

Once again though, Neneko didn't use stock images like that. There's a difference. IMO, I agree with OP. Bitch deserved that blog about her, the only thing about that whole ordeal that makes me feel sad is that the blog shut down. And I say this as a former fan of Neneko's too. That's what she deserves for stealing.

[(Anonymous)]

I was just explaining (poorly and halfway) that there's tracing for comics that acceptable, then there's neneko who flat out stole for half of that 'comic'.

This, though it's considered bad to trace from other mangakas and from sources not intended to be used for tracing.
