The Dark Knight Rises fan art

Neat.

I remember you from posting before.

You trace your work, so how is it you're an award winning graphic designer...if you trace your work? By the way, what awards have you won?

You're a good tracer. Now, if you did this by looking at the picture that'd be a different story. But I overlayed this and your other work found the images on Google that you used and they fit perfectly together.

I don't trace all my work and saying its traced is a bit derogative.. some of it I use images to get portions correct.. I have won a few awards whilst I was a student and won upcoming illustrator of the year last year. You seemed very de terminated to out me as a phoney.. I cannot remember what artist said (it might of been warhol) artist steal of each other all the time its rare you get an original idea... so as you said I traced (used original image for correct positioning of eyes ect) this it is still my own image because its in my own style and its not line by line identical.. but thanks for the comment.

I don't think you deserved to win any awards considering all you do is Google image, trace it with vector and say, "Look what I drew!" And please tell me what exact awards did you win?

...You realize you can still do freehand work digitally right? And thank you for finally admitting you do in fact trace. Nothing is wrong with it if you're using it to learn, but post the picture that you used otherwise yes, you're plagiarizing. As in, taking someone else's work, tweaking it and calling it your own without sourcing your resources.

If this is just for fun to learn and gain new techniques, go for it, nothing wrong with that. But when I look at your portfolio and you have countless other images that are traced and blatantly copied it pulls up a red flag.

Why can't I start a conversation on why I don't like your work? Free country. Apparently you never learned to handle criticism very well. Welcome to the artist's world, where your work is constantly being critiqued and criticized.

For someone who doesn't want to waste their time to prove me wrong, you're not doing so well.

You obviously went to school and graduated so you're certainly old enough to realize that what I've said is not an opinion but a fact, this is plagiarizing.

Dude you promote yourself as some award winning artist, and I too have been a designer and illustrator for a number of years now...looking at your portfolio alot of your vector illustrations are obvious auto-traces. You can tell because the shape is off in atleast one aspect of almost all of your works. Stumblin asked you a question which you still have yet to answer, exactly what awards have you won, man? I'm curious myself.

looks like a coloring page

"and I only trace sometimes when doing fan art." Oh really? What about the countless other images on your portfolio website that you obviously traced? Also, sorry I made you read soooo many paragraphs, I felt the need to break things down for you so you would maybe understand...apparently you're a lost cause.

Have fun with your best attendance awards. Your pointless awards don't mean a damn thing because your talent is tracing.

Keep posting please because you make yourself look like a jackass :)
