looking to find similarities? your really serious?
The Orihime look alike is tilting her head the same way and saying the same thing as Orihime is saying. The only difference is the clothes and hair color. when laid ontop of each other it's an almost identical match.
As an artist myself, I will tell you with 100% certianty... the odds of that happening coincidentally or accidentally more than 3x are a million to 1 on a good day. I mean seriously. We're not talking one look alike, two look alikes, three look alikes, we're talking about an entire comic.
no body positions aren't owned... but I mean come on... The same head tilt, tears in her eyes, saying the exact same thing... the same body position, grabbing at the chest, hunched over, shocked look on the face, saying almost the exact same thing... and when overlayed on top of each other, they are almost identical.
not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, almost TWENTY different examples of too close to be a coincidence.
And how odd is it that some of the Deviant Art traces in question, are actually saved on his favorites?
Look, unlike everyone else, I like Gene Simmons. I LOL'ed when he had a cameo on the live action DMC movie. never really watched family jewels, but my mom use to like it... So I'm not looking to hang him out to dry...
but this is tracing dude. As someone who has been drawing since the womb, who studied art from kindergarten through college... as a painter who just won top award out of 500 entries at our local festival this summer... I have to say... this is a bit more than merely circumstantial evidence as it is clear that the number of "coincidences" is just too many to be a coincidence... Someone with NO art experience who is blind in one eye could see that.
and besides, in a case such as this would be if it got that far... you don't need to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, because it doesn't reach that high of a crime... you just need to prove that it is more likely than not, similar rules to small claims court... It's what is more likely to have happened that can determine the outcome, and circumstantial evidence is admissible, so it would be allowed. and there is more than enough evidence to prove that, more likely than not, he traced the majority if not all, of his comic from other artists.
If there weren't a strong enough case... his publisher would have laughed it off and not halted production (there's a collecters issue that was due in March currently in Limbo) It's not a good sign when your publisher doesn't come out and back you up publically (even if they have concerns) it's not a good sign at all.
