Hi. For those who doesn't know I am accused of art thievery. Learn more here:

http://arttheftreports.tumblr.com/post/146151356650/anhes-tracing-art-beware

I think that it could be true in some way, I took reference from a Mentaiko picture and I didn't told about it. Maybe I was too arrogant to confess it. My apologies, I don't think there is nothing I could say or do to change people's mind, so I invite you to leave my patronege if you feel offended. The picture is already deleted. My apologies specially to Voe, sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you and farewell to everyone who has supported me and will choose declined their pledges.

NO! This person, whoever they are had no right to say that you had "Stolen" any art whatsoever. The image is only similar in the pose and only in general. Even if you did trace the image it's pretty obvious you brought the original idea above and beyond what that artists did with your own skills. The pose in of itself is only similar in that you have the character sitting in a tub facing the viewer and that's it. Through the use of your understanding of anatomy, light, color, and your personal touch you made something wholly original and beautiful. No one owns a pose in any way shape or form, their have probably been innumerable artists who have conceived the same concept in pose and idea but all, like you, executed it in your own original way. Even if the pose was copied in anyway, it does not compare to the amazing originals that you share with all of us. Anhes, the image was beautiful and well done, you have nothing to fear from that person or anyone else who claims that you "Stole" an idea. We as artists gain inspiration from other people's work we sometimes emulate that inspiration in our own images. Never give in to the baseless threats of those who would remain anonymous or hide behind a computer screen to make them. What you're doing here inspires me and everyone who comes to view your work. I hope that you post that image again in your gallery, because it was a wonderful piece of work by one of my personal favorite and beloved artists.

I concur - this "Artists Beware" Tumblr page was only JUST started and yours is the only piece on there.

I have to agree with TK on this one. To say that you blatently "stole" the piece is a bit of a stretch. If what you say is true and the picture was only used as a reference, I believe your only crime would be not asking the artist permission to use his piece as a reference for something you had in mind. If I may make a suggestion, in the future, perhaps ask the artist for permission so as to avoid misunderstanding. Sometimes, it's a duty of an artist to challenge themselves to improve or personalize a piece they find potential in.

I guess that is why they always teach us in engineering to always cite your sources. Even if you didn't quote it in the paper/report, you should list it as reference as long as you read it/viewed it when writing the paper/report.

After looking at the image and people claiming its a trace is really stretching it. As some of the other comments have said, nobody owns a pose or someone sitting in a tub. I can see where it may look like a trace but the majority of it doesnt match up. I dont know why this is a hot button for people lately. If it was traced line for line and colored the same, thats tracing. Hell some people learn by looking at references for pose help. Even some artists take a photo of a car and line over it without referencing where the photo came from. Once more, you went above and beyond and responded by taking the image down and apologizing, even if it is/isnt true. I will continue to support you because I know you do amazing work and are an amazing person. Dont let this knock you down, Anhes.

Everyone makes mistakes. As long as you don't repeat it, you have every forgiving person's trust

It is quite similar, that's for sure. But to point something out. There are not that many single poses that one can take so it is bound to happen and I'm sure there is a lot of art that has the same one. So I don't see a problem there and that you removed it once someone claimed it was traced shows that it was totally unintentional at best. You keep my support

Too bad the guy calling you out didnt have the balls to post it to their personal tumblr account, heh, unbelievable

Even famed artist Dan Luvisi was accused of Art Thievery. Most of the time its a cry for help. An attempt to get attention. I won't be dropping support. I went ahead and overlaid your artwork on top of the "Original" artists work. The only thing that lines up is the Wooden Tub. As if....by god...you only use the piece as a reference. AS if.....you didn't steal or "Trace" the whole god damn thing. Frustrating idiots are frustrating.

Peter

that guy who posted it is just a drama queen. So what, its not like all your art works are like that. Also tbh, i do not know any artist whose work is 100% original only.

Valeir

Lol that is one sad person spreading a stink like that. A pose is a pose it's not like it's traced 1 to 1, even if some people trace poses to use as reference it's already different if it's not the same character, or some parts of the pose are different from the original. People are gonna start putting patents on poses soon....

I don't think it matters to me so much that you take a concept and stylize it in your own way. Inspiration of a pose or scene that you see in someone else's work, isn't so bad. I'd be more concerned if you were copying someone else's style, to the point of not being able to tell who drew the picture. I can live with you using someone else's pose or scene, as every pose and scene has been used before in the past. We don't watch you and pay you money to come up with new, never before seen positioning of your characters. We do that because we enjoy your artwork and detail.

Mr. Anhes, tracing is not stealing. Using reference is a basic foundation of figure drawing. It is part of artistic tradition to copy masters. The accuser does not understand how copyright works. Don't apologize because you did nothing wrong. Don't let stupid people tell you what art you can make or share.

The resemblance is scant at best. I feel as though the images differ enough to say that you are not, in fact, partaking in copyright infringement. I'm no expert, but your shading work is much more detailed. Keep going, and keep crediting.

NikoElys

I feel the post about you was very overreacting. I mean, you are acknowledged and forgiven, but just credit the image you use. You're an amazing artist, your art pieces make me envy my lack of practice xc Just keep up your work and try to add your own style

Bloodmage77

I don't see how it thief, sure it same bathing pose but it different. it not a rip off. It your own take on it, many arts do the same thing all the time. like tha last supper painting.

There are tons of magazine covers with the models posing the same, why dont this "smart" guy go accuse them? If this is extent of similarity is going to be defined as "thief", I wonder whether I can say that everyone wearing the same as me is stealing my creativity of clothing.
