Hold up. I knew there was something fishy about the disparity of the pieces you’ve been posting. I sincerely hope you did NOT charge Mr. Majestic for slapping Photoshop filters over Jim Lee’s artwork. Even if you did it for free, the fact that you even went there at all disgusts me as an artist. I don't like people mutilating my work, let alone take any kind of credit for it, and I'm pretty sure Jim Lee wouldn't either.

Jim Lee's Original

I was told Mr. majestic was basicly superman so ya used that image to base mine off of. I also used a wolverine picture for the Agent Quicksilver I did. Sometimes it's just faster that way. Why? Is that a problem?

"Is that a problem?" Are you serious? It's blatantly obvious that you did more than use it as a so-called base. Anybody who has basic knowledge of Photoshop can overlay your copy over Jim Lee's image and will see that it lines up to a T. Of course it's "faster" to trace over someone else's hard work and skill than to actually try to do it yourself lol. But yeah, that's wrong, that's a problem. I think it's not only a huge slap in the face to Jim Lee, but to any real artists here in this community alone who are actually dedicating their time to learning and developing their art skills on their own.

OK, so rain on my parade. Jim Lee is my idol and considered the best by many, so I'm sure he is aware many use his art to base there own. If you think its easy to use an existing pose and make it a different character, try it. I used the superman because the toon I was doing was supposed to be superman. Where as normaly I just look at similar poses for ideas and proportions. People are getting their toon, I didn't think it really matter if I used a pose from another peice of art. I stand corrected. I have been drawing and painting since i was 4 years old and I don't NEED to use other images, it was just easier and faster and people were happy to be getting their portrait done so fast. If people feel jipped I'll make them a new one from scratch and I apologize. Never meant to step on anyones toes. Until last Tuesday I hadn't drawn or painted anything in about three years and it has just felt great to be at it again. So I'm just gonna keep on keepin on and won't be lookin at anyone elses art work while I draw anymore.
