No. You aren't allowed to heavily reference someone else's art (paintings, photos, movie stills, etc), not give credit to the original artist, and try to sell that same work. It's extremely derivative and thus plagiarism.

As long as you aren't blatantly ripping off other people's work, or you have the rights to do so, then you'll be fine. If you do a study off somebody else's work, then say so and don't go around trying to sell copies of it.

Kr0n has been making more than 2,900$ a week from patrons for allegedly tracing or reproducing other artist's original works and claiming it as his own, to then sell them under his name, without mentioning the exact same reference of his paintings.

he himself arrogantly accused and criticized other artists for plagiarism: http://imgur.com/TCvM9zN

I wonder what's going to happen when the Moonlanders find out about this, they're very serious about tracing when it's not done with personal references. His stuff seemed to be popular on Pixiv although I noticed a couple weeks ago he stopped spamming his pantreon url on the descriptions. Regardless I'd be relieved to not have to see his shit on the front page every time I log on/

Well I can't condone that. But that should really be what people are focusing on. Not just the fact that he's bothering to use reference or redraw things. That's literally a part of a learning process. And that still doesn't address his patreon which is about his OC endeavors and really has nothing do with with selling his studies to people.

And even from other pivix artists: http://i.imgur.com/GHziVmb.jpg

Many found this to be unacceptable and dishonest, to editorialize a bit. Even professional artists James Ghio and Sakimichan have stepped forward to voice their thoughts.

As far as I'm concerned anyone who didn't know is a fucking moron. It was obvious since day one. Why people are bitching about it now I have no idea and I'm going to assume it's because of the amount of money he was making on patreon. Sure he was selling prints, and that shit isn't cool, but we all know that's not where he was making most of his cash. It was his patreon. And considering his patreon goals dealt with the original content he wanted to make, people are in no place to bitch.

The only ones upset are the people salty over the amount of money he was making on patreon. Using popular material as reference and study material was smart.

Not really. He didn't reference anyone that he blatantly ripped from for his studies, but I know you don't understand the weight of that claim since you're a different type than I am.

You know why y'all niggaz are mad?

Because copying and tracing are treated as the devil while you're still learning to draw. Once you can draw, you can do whatever the fuck you want. Look at Aaron Beck.

You babies are crying because your fundamentals are still weak and therefore tracing and copying is unhealthy for your growth. Well it's not for Kr0n. If it's legal, he can and should do it.

>There are 2 major differences between Japanese pixelart and Pixeljoint’s. First, downsizing (sample above), editing and refining other people’s work is very popular. Skillful people like refining beginners pixel art for them to study and beginners develop their style by altering others’ skillful work. Of course, you first get permission from the artist before we alter his/her work.
Said in an interview by an excellent Japanese pixel artist by the name of Syosa. I'm not agreeing/disagreeing with you, just expanding a bit more on your statement. This isn't just for pixel art community but for the general art community as well. Collaboration/critique via redraws between beginners and skilled artists are something sorely missing from Western art communities. It's the attitude that doesn't condemn less skilled artists to make redraws for practice and in fact encourages it instead, whereas the more skilled artists also practice by making redraws correcting mistakes.

Most people don't care about the artistic skill anyway. There is just a cult of fictional characters online that needs artists to feed them more visual imagery of those characters.

I wonder what the full resolution comparisons look like because some might just be an eyecopy.

In programming, it is encouraged to reuse good code whenever possible and remixes in music seem quite accepted.

>mfw I have found the other mullins pics where he drag and drops master pieces.

Its cool to see. And I assume that It'll never be found out since the pics are super obscure and he's warped them abit but if you warp the original it matches pixel perfect.

He just made the Facebook post calm down. Sakimi was brave and called him out because we're cowards and get called names and jelly. She truly went above and beyond. This Russian dude needs to realize this is unacceptable. Same for anyone who doesn't understand the degrees of plagiarism. No excuse just because you're 16, if you're gonna be a pro, act like it.

If you are or aren't ghio do not reply to these guys. And don't call everybody names, you're just gonna gonna bring the shit parade on ghio. Just back down immediately. It's clear you aren't from here. Just don't respond to those posts.

That's what makes it amazing. She put herself on the line, her reputation, her patron, her fans, his fans who were just calling everybody jealous. She said hey, stop this shit, you are warned. now other similar fan art pros are posting. There has been more "wait a minute. That was fucked up" it's all thanks to Sakimis post. She has no reason to wreck krons career since she's already making the most money out of all the artists.

Different disciplines have different unspoken rules. In comedy even referencing another's act is a huuuuuuuuuuge Nono.

In music you can straight up be a cover band and travel the world profiting on another's music.

i love how almost every original is clearly better. Every copied character seems to make an unappropriate facial expression, and it breaks the tone of the setting

This.
Guys, remember what happened when Fus did this same thing once? Now no one wants to work with the guy on a professional level because he should have known better. This person will never work on a professional level and get paid real money. You niggers are thinking way too small.

If it's really bothering you, OP. Then spam his Deviantart or whatever yourself. and leave us out of it.

Sadly, he will work and get paid on a professional level. He is so overhyped that no matter what happens people will pay for "his" "art"

Nah I actually knew about him copying/tracing whatever a long time ago. Maybe 4 to 5 months ago but I only knew 2 cases of it and didn't care enough to look more into others. I guess as he got bigger I just assumed he stopped doing that or something.

I used to listen to a radio show which specialised with tracking plagiarism among artists national and abroad. Apparently 7 consecutive notes of melody is already considered plagiarism. I wonder how special sound effects are viewed in all this and if they can be patented.

Crawling before teenage kids on DA for their dollars and producing tutorials of questionable quality will never amount to kind of professionalism. In the end as far as "real" art world is concerned, internet fame means nothing.
