Except that's almost exactly what you're doing. It's one thing to reference a pose or expression. It's another to copy almost line for line another artist's piece. The outfit is the same almost to the letter, except of course to original picture is far more detailed and well done.
This isn't a matter of me liking your art or not, because to be honest, it's not your art we're seeing. It's someone elses.
If you want to become a better artist, this is not the way.

Actually I honestly have to disagree with most of your comments that you have made so far. As a fellow artist that is constantly learning every day, The basics of learning and expanding is copying things that you see. Whether its real life or cartoonistic.
Regardless, of whether the pose is too much the same or the out fit in the same, it is actually rather clear the artist here has drawn it and made it his own, there for it makes it his own work.
I often use stock models for posing and reference. Does that earn me a :/ face too?
Mtoto, From what I can see you can tell its your work and you worked hard on it. Some people learn in different matters. It's one thing for someone to give you constructive criticism it's another to tell you how to learn and whether that process is best for you or not. Keep doing what your doing, I know I want to keep see it...just because i would like to see where go and what you do with your talent. Because it is clear you have some!
Athough...Here is my actual post and comment that i wanted to make~!
I do have one thing i want to criticize...If that's supposed to be Zolku Elku You totally didn't make him cocksure and "idiotic" looking enough~!
