Description This was drawn for a competition and was my first attempt at digitally enhancing a drawing. I look back ruefully at some of the techniques I used to color it, and wince at some of the errors with perspective and small things, but as a whole it's not too bad

The concept is taken from the anime series Bleach in the episode where Ikkaku releases Bankai against the arrancar Edorad.

Not to rain on your parade, But this picture is a fail copy of a page of Bleach vol 23 where ikkaku uses his bankai against edorad...

Most likely very true, however I did it using a frame from the anime, as said in the description...

And I realize that it's not that great, as also said...

you stated you took the concept from that episode. Concept not exact screen cap + copying.
Learn what concept means and stop editing your description.

Concept:
A general idea derived or inferred from specific instances or occurrences.

Taken from dictionary.com

And the only part I edited was putting the episode in there, like I thought I had put in originally.

Concept:
1.A general notion or idea
dictionary.com

2. Something formed in the mind; a thought or notion.

3. an original idea, design, etc

4.something conceived in the mind : thought , notion

I'm just saying. You didn't put the episode number on your info until i said anything. You put it into an art contest but it may as well be plagiarizing because it appears in vol 23 of Bleach by Tite Kubo.
Because you copied it i believe it is not art.

I'm sure I could hunt for various sites that support my argument for the definition of concept too if I tried, we are not going to go anywhere in this argument by trying to prove who can find the most definitions.

And I'm saying that I had thought that the episode number was there already, possibly because I had put it in the description when I first publicly posted this image not on dA. And no it is not plagiarized as the original image in the manga was created using a different medium, that would be like saying that if I painted it in oils , or digitally colored and shaded, or even made a 3d scene it would be plagiarizing.

Your opinion is duly noted, however in that case the majority of painters and sketch artists out there would not be creating art simply because they are copying a scene or photograph, but I think we can both agree that this is not the case.

Four things:
1. Which medium did you use for the colors
2. The dragon on the center blade turns red, not yellow
3. This is great
4. Check out my Ikkaku piece done in oil pastels (it's not this good, but eh)

damianGray In reply to IIIan-at-IIIar [2008-06-12 22:30:49 +0000 UTC]

heh, I digitally colored it...not that well I might add as it was my first ever digital coloring.

I know the dragon turns red I just thought yellow looked cooler

Thank you very much!

You're an excellent artist. I fancy your traditional work over your digital art.

You're an experienced artist, b/c you mention certain things in your description. Its a good attempt, and I hope you improve.
