Can you upload a version when one image is over the other, similar to the image with his Yoko Rarity and the image he traced it from. Resize certain parts so they match as you say.
Oh man, I thought you would learn after the first time to at least credit whatever art you’re referencing this closely. But I guess I expected too much, especially when the rabid fanbase ignored the obvious dishonesty with the previous drawing.

I’ve been under the assumption this was fanart. I am still under that assumption.
If Toxic had simply said he couldn’t find the artist, that would’ve been fine. Because honestly, I’ve been trying and getting nowhere. If this is really a screenshot though, then I wish Toxic could’ve said that and stopped this from escalating.
I’m confused. Is this from the anime or was it fan art? ‘Cause I’ve not ever people giving a shit when fan artists used licensed material as a reference:
“So here’s something funny. I have seen this type of pose EVERYWHERE in a way. I’ve seen this on prints on anime cons, in the pony fandom, and on random other anime characters I’ve seen here and there on the net. This was a pose I was intrigued about trying and I decided to fire it up with this one. The hardest part honestly trying out a pose like this is those legs. I am not used to putting and figuring out how the legs are suppose to bend like that so I got some help on that.”
This is disgusting. I’m an artist. I know artists. We show respect for each other when we reference each other’s work for most of the image. Artists do credit others when a post is used. That is what happens. But this example here? This is far beyond just copying a pose. This is copying the image. The hairstyle, the clothes too! Don’t act stupid. This is not okay and no other artists do it. If you wont credit for the pose, credit it for everything else. Show some respect please.
most artists don’t credit reference material. In fact very few do because using references is just a standard act in art. Plus this pose is such a generic pinup pose that it really has no inspiration in it and very little variation to the standard pose. You could find 1000s of images using this exact pose and claim many of them are traced just by putting them side by side.
@Toxic-Mario
You didn’t credit an image you referenced 100% of the image from. That’s really REALLY bad sportsmanship. Or whatever the artist equivalent is.
Doesn’t matter that you didn’t trace it when you’re still guilty of doing something an artist should never do. This is low.
Awwwwwww how cute people are gonna start this again? It’s a real shame too. Shame none of those bg people were in the streams to watch me make this especially back in December. The best part is people never understanding the difference of what people call a trace and a refernce of a common pose you see everywhere. But this time I am not gonna give people the ammo they need. I’ll watch from the sidelines as people will throw cardboard onto smoke and expect a fire.

LOL. You’re right, I checked it. He stretched the original a bit to trace arms. He resized and skewed hands and they match too. Toxic-Mario thought he could get away with tracing if he slightly resizes the elements of the source image. Busted again. What a shame.
