Yes. How dare she utilize stockphotos in her art. I mean it’s not like that’s one of the reasons stock photos exist or anything.
THE FIEND!

There’s a difference between referencing stock and tracing, bro. This here is straight up tracing, and from the looks of it, she traces a lot. How can the same artist make this http://yoshiko-a-black.deviantart.com/art/Reading-220206707?q=gallery%3Ayoshiko-a-black%2F10916971&qo=12 (the ref she used/traced from http://felixdeon.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/&offset=240#/d2ztesc) AND this http://yoshiko-a-black.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4g3lft
It’s pretty obvious she traces. If she was just referencing, it’d be different, but you can see just how much they line up.
So what if she fucking traces her art?? There is nothing wrong with that! Its HER art and she can do what she likes. No one has any right to say that she has no talent. She even credits the stock photos she used. She’s not doing anything wrong so just please keep your hating to yourself.
