Keep in mind: everyone has a different view. Besides, I've seen some comparisons (www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Etsukoajibana#Wall_of_Irrefutable_Evidence) and it would appear you get inspirations for poses and such from other pictures. Some people may consider that editing, tracing, or cheating. I think it's nice you have a sense of self-worth, but try experimenting with different styles outside of Takahashi-sensei's. You may find you have undiscovered talent.

Then maybe you should look at my DA account. Then you'll see I draw in my own style so now and then. Besides I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh! fanart artist and I want my pictures to look like the real anime. And reading the crap on ED, go ahead, just know that most if it are lies.

I'm not saying that all of the crap on ED are lies. I know I did traced. But most things they wrote on ED is just a piece of crap.

i happen to like your art and i'll cuss out anyone who hates it

ATEMULOVA ISN'T AN ART THIEF!! I'M SO WITH UNICORN GIRL GO UNIVORN GIRL AND ATEMULOVA THEY ARE THE BEST IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY TRACE AT LEAST THEY CAN STILL DRAW!!

your a prick you know that

i like the shading and i hope the people bothering you do hump a chicken

I honestly wouldn't let it get to you, hun. It's not worth your time. They're probably some pre-teens that are just dying for attention, from what I've been looking at, in other accounts that have spamming you, either A, have no work to back up their own supposed awesomeness, or B, have pictures that are drawn exactly from screencaptures or official artwork.

And all I can say about stuff like that, that they think is is traced....so freaking what? Everyone has to start somewhere. It's how you learn to draw. I copied poses of Sailor Moon stuff when I just started out in junior high until I started to become more original with my work. It takes a while, but it's worth it. I would just brush it off and just let it go. Or set them on fire. Whichever comes first.

I ignore KaibasSweety. If you ignore the loser, he or she would leave you alone. you're pics are really good!

no they won't stop. I've did what they wanted: deleted every re-drawn and 'traced' picture out of my gallery. And still they say I have 'traced' work in my gallery left. They just dunno when to quit.

yeah. I get flamed for my stories because they think my OC Carrie is a mary sue. But I changed her attitude. Anyway, don't let the low-lifes get to you. I'll always support you!

this is nice ^^ i dont think ur an art theif because all your art looks origional to me ^^ its very nice too! :DD

Kuzai: You two stop fighting!! Art's just art, sure ppl are great at it. But ppl can't just keep their ideas to themselves to you know. I mean, if someone asks me, I'll let them use my ideas, like Els is doing, she's NOT stealing art, As long as she says dat it wasn't her pose idea and got it from another pic for an idea, then all is fine. same thing about dat selling art thing too. Els wouldn't do dat. So plz don't call our SISTER an artthief because again it's not true.

its funny how you all call her your sister while she isn't even family. desperate for love much right?

it sounds like you had a shitty childhood

Kuzai: Nope. ^^ She's in our SISTERS club, so she's now our SISTER!!!!!! XD *throws a party with confette* Anyways, not by birth sister, just a sister for the fun of it!! <) We look out for eachother. ^-^

thats called ''friends'' lol

Well, let's face it: most of her pics are either stolen or traced. RANDOMLY.

*looks at other comments* Whoa! I just came to look at this pic again and found this three way cat fight, Damn they are going at it. Anyways, just thought i'd tell ya i love your art... am trying to get better myself, and i was looking through you gallery to see if i could find some key elements that makes your work so damn good, if you could gimme some pointers that'll be great. I know i have to practice most of all, but i'd thought it would hurt to ask for your wisdom *bows* lol ^^

I use other Yu-Gi-Oh! pictures(original ones) from the internet to practice the Yu-Gi-Oh! style. I use other fanart to practice the anotomy. Nothing more to say about it. Cause I don't have something like a 'secret' ^^;

Oh O.o i've tried a little of that too, guess i just stop for some reason ^^ thanks, i'll try that.

Go you! -cheers- Show those wannabes who's the boss! And KaibasSweety, leave her alone! Please!
