I like this feeling. (art Tracing)
Original art
MY DUUUUDES
THIS
This is how you apologize for Art Crimes!!!
Did OP trace someone else’s art? Yes. Did they do it because they wanted to profit off the art? A little: the posted it on social media, after all. Did they transform the art significantly enough and with the clear skill of an artist who knows how to use a reference? Yes. They clearly know how to draw and proportion things.
WHEN THEY WERE CALLED OUT DID THEY APOLOGIZE AND REPOST THE TRACED ART IN CONTEXT WITH ALL THE WORK BOTH THEY AND THE ORIGINAL ARTIST DID? YES!!!
Should OP have traced the art? No. They are clearly an excellent artist themself who could have done this on their own using the original artist’s art for reference rather than a base. And they’ve owned up to it and given credit where credit is due.
