It's between Blankspot and EGoD. I like Blankspot's picture due to the look on Saber's face, and I think EGoD's is quite interesting.

Goes back and forth, back and forth.

I think I'm going to have to go with Blankspot on this.

Blankspot.

I would vote for DangerousCurves, but that's pretty much a straight trace, posing as an original image. Signed and everything. Plagiarism.

Original here.

#23 Posted by Cryo-Wolf (12662 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago - Show Bio

I love SilvaSnake's work.

I vote SilvaSnake.

#24 Posted by Paragon (7293 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago - Show Bio

OK, i'm going to go ahead and disqualify myself. Like i said before, i really don't know that much, and i did some research. I really liked the bio pic, and try drawing it myself, and that was that's what i got. I did not trace it, just look at the pic and redid it. I didn't know that it was against any rules. And if i offended someone them i'm sorry. But i truly drew it myself, even thou it was based off of a pic.

It's ok to use things for reference, but when you produce a picture that is based off of (and is essentially identical to) someone else's work, you shouldn't claim it as your own, much less sign your name on it. That's called plagiarism. I don't hold it against you, I looked at your images, and it's clear you use a lot of reference, just try to be careful to use it for reference points, not the whole image. You're a good enough artist to produce a 100% original drawing.

That's too bad. She's one of the best artists on the vine.

Nothing wrong with using a reference, I said to use a reference if you needed to at the start of the first showdown thread, as long as you did it yourself, there's nothing wrong with that. People can take into account that it relied heavily on referencing in their vote but otherwise not something that should disqualify the sketch.

I examined the image in great detail myself and it clearly is not traced. Compare the proportions of the body parts and the angles of the muscle creasing and shadows. She did a really good job. In my book, she still gets the win 100%.

blankspot. That drawing has the most expression out of all of them.

#35 Posted by Shatterstar (4094 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago - Show Bio

Well we've got a bit of controversy here

DangerousCurves got 13 votes
Blankspot got 8 votes
Silva Snake & EGoD got 2 each

So DC technically won the showdown but withdrew her submission, though there's nothing necessarily wrong with it. I guess that means Blankspot wins the showdown. Next showdown starts when Blankspot starts a thread choosing a character, deadline, whatever else he wants.

Voting is over. If you want to express your enthusiasm for one of the entries, the showdown thread will be open for that.

That stinks. People should have just left her alone. She did such an awesome job.

Who cares if she used a pic as a reference. It still kicked @$$!
