I’ve never played a Ninja Gaiden game. Should probably remedy that… 😅

Sifu was a rare game that was so difficult that I gave up. I wish you the best of luck on your journey! LOVE the style of it, though!

Sounds like a fun rotation with a lot of variety!

Someday I’ll return to XIV. Maybe in 30 years when I’m retired 😂

I just played my first Pikmin game last year (Pikmin 4!). I should really try the others. Pikmin has top tier character design!

Never played it! But I know Monster Train is SUPER popular, haha

I suppose like art itself, it comes down to subjectivity. I’d say it’s best to ere on the side of caution. If someone’s having doubts, then they should do more to differentiate their piece from their inspiration. It can’t hurt, and you’ll only grow as an artist.

If you declare traced artwork as your own original work, then yes, it's plagiarism. And it absolutely should not be used commercially. It's essentially stealing.

Privately tracing for education is fine. But transparency is needed if shared publicly about the work's origins.

So sick!

Thanks Tetra! It was the first commercial release that I got to art direct from the ground up, and it really let me lean into my strengths!

More like an assortment of cuties.
