Artist's Comments

So, in Sakky's Sailormoon version of the game 'Mafia', Psi and I were designated as lovers. I got killed off last night, so naturally Psi had to commit suicide. It was a well-written one as Psi ran herself through with Phaeton's sword.

After I found out, I thought about drawing this. I talked to Sakky about it and thought it'd be fun.

The text is a slight paraphrase of what she wrote in the game. Substitute Phaeton for Pure and that's word for word what she wrote.

For those of you who don't get it:

1. This image is intended for amusement only. It is not a serious peice of art. In fact, this is a joke.
2. It's deliberately not shaded. Why put all that effort into a joke image?
3. For those of you who aren't Sailormoon fans, let me be abundantly clear: this is referenced from a screen cap. Yes, the lines are similar but not identical. Original image is here. Link leads off dA and over to my domain as a note.

Any questions?

Is a dream a lie that don't come true, or is it something worse?

No offense to you or anything, but it looks like you retraced this from a screencap of Sailor Moon. Unless you used it as a reference, but even then... it just sort of looks... off.

It was referenced from a screencap. I DO NOT trace.

Look, dude. If you have a problem with the fact that there are artists out there who are very, very good at anime style drawing, maybe you should go elsewhere.

You know I wasn't pushing the envelope that far, but the definition of 'good' tends to vary from person to person, it would be wise to remember that.

All I was saying is it looks EXACTLY like a screen cap, no shading or anything, it looks like the lines we're just drawn over and then filled with the ';paint bucket' tool. :/ It looks like a re-trace, whether you're 'good at the anime style' or not.

My advice is if you're going to use as what you're saying is a 'reference', try not to make it look exactly like the screen cap of sailor moon. Also shading wouldn't hurt either.

Now you're taking it too far.

1. Shading was left out as image in question is a JOKE.
2. It's supposed to look like a screen cap. It was drawn that way deliberately.
3. My method for drawing is as follows:
a) draw lines with free form pen tool in Photoshop 7
b) merge line art layers
c) create lower layers labeled for which color goes where.
d) color in appropriate colors on each layer.
typically e) shading follows, except on occasions where I either don't feel like it or it isn't necessary (as is the case with this image)
4. If you actually took the screencap and this image and put them side by side, there are distinct differences and I'm not just talking about the character involved having different designs than the ones who were originally in the picture.

Do yourself a favor and actually do some research on a person's art before you accuse someone of blatant tracing. I admit I used to trace; however, I was in grade 7 at the time. The only art I trace is my own. I've traced art belonging to other people as a part of a collaboration (and that's to give myself clean lines to color and done with permission). I haven't done any outright traces in 13 years.
