Musings of a Spellcaster

Greetings everyone! Today I want to make an announcement, we’re officially opening up places in the DRV0 production team! Here’s what we require;

1) If you wish to be an artist, you must be familiar to the DR art style, especially towards V3′s standards, and if not, it’s negotiable! Digital artists only.

2) Animators, editors and graphic design are also in demand! Such as experience with animating via pixels, and MEP/Multi Projects, but if you think you have other skills along this caliber, then go ahead and apply anyway!

3) Audio editors will also be in demand, basic skill in this please!

If you’d like to support us in any other shape or form, such as fan art of the characters or reblogging this post/signal boosts, are very appreciated!

Okay I accidentally deleted the blog I posted this one because I’m a dumbass, so I’ll just repost it here even though I don’t use this blog anymore, but apparently I still have followers. Bless caches because I was able to get this back from google caches so I don’t have to retype everything. I added further evidence and refutes to claims that were not in my original post btw.

Anyways, I am making this post to help out my good friend @5ru9 aka Falco who has been recently accused of tracing/copy pasting other people’s / official art!

I’ve known Falco for over 3 years, and we’ve grown as artists together. Once in a while we give each other advice on art (thanks for the mech and armor advice and teaching me how you line and color!), but most of the time we just meme each other.

Anyways, a lot of people have pointed out that they’ve seen him livestream before, and he’s already posted some of his block outs and other wips as proof that he does not trace in his post here:

To further prove his claim with solid evidence, I shall present to you!

You might have heard of Tumblr user falco @/ 5ru9 previously known as burningbraven.

He has opened commissions but you should be aware that if you commission him, what you see above is what you could get.

His dr artworks always look very similar to the official dr art, even to some details matching perfectly. That’s because he takes those parts from the official sprites. He uses mirroring, squeezing and squashing to hide it. Be aware that if you commission him, what you’ll get could be a partial traced artwork since that’s how he creates his dr art. Not only does he trace official artworks he also traces other artists work without their permission and does not credit them.

Some artists trace to get better (and this is okay) but he is selling artworks in this style for money. This is not fair to his customers and supporters and infringing on the Copyright of the Danganronpa art team.

If you’re a danganronpa artist check if Falco used your artwork without permission. If you have further proof you can add it onto this post.

As for the whole squash and stretch is more of a stretch than him actually doing it. Same goes for mirroring. He uses references which, surprise, surprise, every artist does even the amazing ones. It’s to help understand how anatomy or character design works. Falco takes pride in his works and has even aided me and other friends with anatomy via redlining. (quick side note the Junko 'evidence' you used is actually wrong; she doesn’t have six fingers in the sprite or artwork, just five.)

As for the commissions thing where he asks to provide a specific pose, it's because of that; a specific pose that the commissioner themselves want. After all you can only explain a pose of what you want so well. If it wasn’t up to them, there would be no need.
