Deviousness |
The hair is drawing differently around the nape of his neck; the original shows two strands layering over his neck, but this person only chose to do one, and not only that, but to pretty much hide most of the neck.
The face on this picture is narrower than on the original, and several hair strands are drawn more thickly that that of the original picture. The patterns also differ, especially when it comes to the sizes of certain things (the white lines are off, the blue oval in his sleeve is much smaller than the original).
However, this doesn't make the person completely innocent. It's possible that there was either some tracing involved, or she's very good at looking at a person's art and copying. I've overlayed the original and this one, and in some places the lines match up perfectly, however in others, it's skewed. It would not surprise me if she used a grid to do this. It's understandable if the pictures themselves are off as well, since this looks like a photograph, and those are subject to all kinds of distortions.
tl;dr I think she coloured this on her own, and it wasn't a Photoshop filter. However, it's possible she could have traced it, either in whole or a part of it, or she's surprisingly good at referencing.
Do I believe she deserved a DD? No. She's definitely not linking back to the original source, and overall this isn't completely original, only a copy. I think in terms of her colouring ability, however, she is good. She just chooses to not make anything original with it, which is a shame.
Eventually you will be sued, and unlike what the rules say (and I actually saw this), you won't get any money from the people that sued you.
Actually try to please the people that keep this site running, instead of helping people break the law.
My gosh.

All in conclusion: ~LuadoChackal was a lazy pile of crap who didnt bother credit and felt the need to rip off some one who worked hard for their own praise and butt kissing.
