I don't know when this was first found out...But Kazuaki apparently 'plagiarized' some of her pictures (or lots of them, not really sure, but most of them I'm familiar with...'orz). However, I think some of them aren't fair to call plagiarism.
The following I don't think are necessarily fair:
Those two are unfair because the first picture just has a similar pose, and it's more of redrawn (with better anatomy) than traced. Just because the poses are similar does not mean they're plagiarized...>.> I actually think her picture is from a different angle...more turned or something...
The second one is unfair because it isn't totally like the picture next to it. Then again...I guess she should've drawn it traced or whatever as practice and did from her memory what it looked like (if she actually did that...then that's amazing). The one under that picture I also don't think is fair because it doesn't actually look like the picture. The violin is at a slightly different angle and the hands are slightly different. Slightness means a lot! You can probably find two pictures that look exactly the same, even if the person who drew it never saw it (however, in cases of that one Bleach copier guy, yeahh...what he did is impossible 'cause there's no way you can have that much correlation in your art).
However, these I do think are plagiarized:
The first two pictures are plagiarized because they are obviously traced. Again, I think she should've traced them as practice and then go back and draw the real thing (even if it doesn't look completely right, at least she didn't plagiarize).
The last one is DEFINITELY plagiarism. Though it's done in a somewhat creative way, I still don't think that's acceptable. She didn't trace them this time, she just copy and pasted then edited a bit...>.> I don't know what she would've done with the background instead, though...
But I think it's because we're taught this in schools...>.> Half my school artwork is referenced...not because I chose to, but because that was apart of our assignment. But the other half I make sure to do originally...but the rest of the students in my class have the majority of theirs referenced...It's kinda sad.
I'm not saying a don't technically plagiarize ('cause I totally do), but I'm not the one getting payed, so don't bother me about it.
Oi! And I have some songs to post that I've been addicted to:
I love Show/Alan Luo~! <333 I also really like this video...even the part with the lights being smashed with his somewhat quiet yell which are physically impossible since it's starting from the opposite direction, but it still give a nice effect. I especially like the end with the 'pidoo' sound effects that sound like lasers! >:D
I listened to this a WHILE ago but never listened to it again (for some reason) and now that I listen to it again I can't stop! XD
I finally watched the music video for this. I don't think Durarara did it any justice...or any anime...it's just not an anime feeling song...but I really liked the dancing in the video so now I like the song (that's usually how it is).
This is an AWESOME song! I love the beginning~! <333 Plus the video is awesome.
Omigosh! I just saw this video just now (it was in my youtube recommendations):
<333!! What makes me so happy is that it's not Shinjiro Atae and some random girl actress person, it's Chiaki Itoh~! <333 I still don't know what pairings I like in AAA...or if I like any pairings...O.o;
Okay! Bye-bye~! ^ ^ (Back to meh lists! >:D)
