Hi everyone, I saw that the winning place last time had such a good design that I decided to put a different style on it. I hope you enjoy.

Good Luck to everyone!

Is it valid to entry an artwork with "Heavy referencing" from the winning piece last time?
Also, did the original artist gave you permission to use his idea and concept? If so, then there's no problem with this.
If not, then there will be an issue here.... I guess, plagiarism.

"All of the following are considered plagiarism:
turning in someone else's work as your own. copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit. failing to put a quotation in quotation marks. giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation" - Source: Plagiarism.org

I hope judge would be fair to all artwork that were done by "Conceptualizing" and "Originality"
I personally admire those who tried their best to do original artwork even though they are not skilled enough.

Just dropping my thoughts about this.
Thanks!

You have no idea on what you are talking about. Copying Ideas, art style etc, is not plagiarism. The only plagiarism that can be do in art is copying the whole piece of a finished artwork, That's why parody in art is legal and can do by anyone! Referencing is legal, copying the style is legal, copying the idea is legal. The only thing that is not legal is copy a piece 100% with no addition and forgery.

I know what you are saying, but your knowledge of what is plagiarism and what is legal in art is very wrong.

Just look at the movies and games industry, they are just copying ideas of each other as long as they don't copy the whole game/movie it is legal.

"As long as they don't copy the whole game/movie it is legal"

But the case here is different.
He just copied the artwork itself and that artwork won 1st place last time lol.
Well I don't want to argue anymore, at the end judges will be the one who'll pick their bets.
I'm just speaking for the rest of the participants here. Thank you!
