Description
A very very old drawing found in my computer, I've decided to re-draw it ^^Related content
Comments: 40
Again, I like the old one better. It just doesn't have the same personality. The proportions are significantly better in the first one and... Wait... What is that text you erased over his legs? If this was one of your own drawings you had on your computer, why would you need to erase a watermark from it?
Well. I can see why no real improvement has been shown. The first is clearly not yours. Please take this down or be reported.

Hey you, I've deleted the watermark cause it was from my OLD account the watermark says "arlym" , I was Arlym long ago....

Okay, so where does the "gh" and "by" fit in to your old name? And on what site exactly? That doesn't look like any dA watermark I've ever seen.

I've deleted my account, wow you're a troll
π: 0 β©: 1
No, a troll is someone who pokes at another person just to watch them squeal. I've merely caught you doing something you're not supposed to be doing. That watermark does not originate from where you say it does, and the remaining letters exist nowhere in your previous account name. Therefore I have no other choice than to believe you are lying.
Now, had you gotten permission to use the first picture from the original artist, given them sufficient credit, then stated that you merely wished to redraw their artwork, then that would be perfectly fine. I would have no problem at all with that and I'd be packing up my lawyer briefcase and go about my business as if nothing happened. But plagiarism like this is something I simply can't ignore.

Really? XD!!!!!!! please, report me!!!! I'm a big art thief!!! *Sarcasm*

I have submitted the report. Please note that I gave you a chance to resolve this like a mature adult beforehand.

You, idiot, look:

π: 0 β©: 1
I see. In that case I advise you post a link to that deviation in the image description. Also, for future reference, erasing a watermark, even if it is your own, is very suspicious and will send up a red flag to many people. Had you produced this at the beginning, like when you were calling me a troll or begging me to report you, this would have ended there. I would have apologized for the mistake and moved on with my life. However, instead of presenting your actual evidence you got defensive, which only serves to make your accuser even more suspicious. I hope the next time you are accused of something you will react in a more civilized manner. Trust me, not everyone is as nice as I was about it. I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong, but there are those who would push the issue further still. Consider my advice and have a pleasant evening.

Meh, I worked too hard to improve all this years, and don't come here to say that the old work is better. And please wear glasses
And before you go accusing of theft do with evidence, just trying to see where your idiocy would
π: 0 β©: 1
I had plenty of evidence. I searched your gallery and found nothing and, therefore, my argument carried weight. You uploaded that picture about halfway through talking to me, so I had no way of knowing what that watermark previously said before stating my accusations. You then produced sufficient counter evidence, so I dropped my accusations. There's no need to get offensive about it. I admitted my fault. At least take the victory with grace.
As for my preference to the old... Yes, I can definitely see improvement in some areas, but put together it seems to lack that certain charm the previous one did. That, again, is only my opinion. I'm not saying 'OMG, this is crap'. I'm just saying perhaps there are some elements to your old art that you could stand to incorporate into the new. It's called constructive criticism. I'm only trying to help by making suggestions, and so are the others that are saying they like the old one better. There's no need to insult us by implying we don't know good art when we see it. I can appreciate your hard work to improve and it was never anyone's intention to undermine that. We're all artists too. We know all about that kind of hard work.

I think what shes trying to say is
That she wanted to see how much she improved
Therefore you should focus on her improvement
She wanted putting the two pictures up
For you to compare them
And by the way,
I myself have taken down quite a few art thieves
In my time here on this site
And I only accuse them of stealing
After I have a link to the original work
If you don't know the exact person who made it in the first place
AND
You don't have a link to the original picture
Your argument has no real value
Because we don't know if you're making it up or not
Also,
there was a FOUR YEAR difference in when these pictures were drawn
So, of the course the style is different
People don't draw the same way their entire lives!
Please, do not ever do this again
You make Deviantart look bad
Randomly accusing people
You should've asked nicely if it was her work
And if she said yes, and you still weren't sure
Ask if she had a link to the original
Maybe make out an excuse like you want to favorite it
Or whatever
If they produce no link, drop it
You have no evidence that way
If they do and it isn't drawn by them
By all means, report away
But please don't say you had hard evidence when you had none

No, you haven't graphic evidence and please dedicate yourself to improve your own pics, I have 21 years like ya. I would not waste my time looking for someone to criticize and accuse of theft, y prefer to IMPROVE.

The old one looks like it could be from a children's anime, and the newer one lookes like it could be from a video game *thinking of Wind Waker again*.

Just remembering my old style

I actually like the old stockings and boots better, but the hat and sash look great on the new incarnation. You made the new version look "neater" and more buttoned up, the character looks less playful but still very cute. Great work.

I guess I just like the art style of the first one better, especially the eyes. The second one just looks so... boring?

You need to wear glases dude
look the BIG anatomy mistakes, bad color selection, and many shadding mistakes.

Well there's no way her feet would be that small in the new pic either, they look too small.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's my chibi style, I use to do smal feet. And you need to wear glases
