The artist arpegius1997 is a popular artist on deviant but there is a catch... Most of her works are redraws of other artists artwork. Even though Arpeguis credits the original artist, it's still copying since she literally is redrawing the picture in a different media. If she took someone's work and made a entirely new artwork then it would be appropriation, but arpegius is just taking other people's artwork and redoing it in colored pencil.
I'm not sure whether arpegius get permission from the artists or not, but at least she does give a link to the original piece. Not all her works are redraws, but when it isn't it makes me question whether she came up with the artwork herself, or if she copied it without crediting anyone, since the majority of her works are copied from something.
Arpegius is a talented artist (don't get me wrong), but she makes me question her arts originality and creativity.
So is this plagiarism, appropriation, or is it nothing at all?

What *Is* Art Plagiarism? (READ THIS)Okay, due to some flaming I've received because I brought art plagiarism to the attention of an art plagiarist... I've realized that there is more than a good number of people who don't know what art plagiarism really is--so, I've written an informative journal for you all. It's broken down into several easy to understand sections.

Hopefully, if my journal's not enough to understand the meaning of art plagiarism, then the tutorial will be (or vice versa, maybe my journal will help you understand the tutorial more).
What Is Art Theft?
What Is Tracing?
What Is Art Paraphrasing?
Why Can't I Use Other People's Art as "Reference" to Make My Own Art?
How Can I Avoid Being Called on Art Plagiarism?

Abandoning Deviantart
please follow me elsewhere, i'm mostly active on tumblr and isntagram: https://linktr.ee/devilgrey after deviantart decided to pull the dreamup ai art generator stunt and use the userbases art to feed it without permission, i've decided to discontinue posting here. This betrayal of the community here, has broken my trust in this company. not sure if i'll delete my submissions or leave them up. regardless of what i decide, there wont be any new artwork posted. To be clear, i wont be deactivating this account. i follow webcomics and other artists from years ago that are no longer active which i don't want to lose connections too. So, this account will remain open but it'll be inactive.
not leaving deviantart
i really don't think layout changes are enough to make me leave deviantart. I really dont think its a bad change, i still find it relatively easy to navigate. Also, to jump ship whenever a site changes, artists will never have a consistent hub. My biggest problem with the new update is i cant edit comments on my profile, and that if i want to change my bio all the pixel things get messed up. but that's all i found so far. But I'll just have to adjust to the new changes. Honestly sometimes just making my own website seems like it'd be much easier.
Changes to social media usage
I’ve decided that I’m going to change my approach to social media. Recently I realized the social media game honestly isn’t that important. Especially if it’s not giving you financial or some other benefit that isn’t just followers or likes. Those last 2 things ultimately are just a number.
I’m not quiting, I’m just going to utilize my social media as a online portfolio that I update when I have the time. Taking photos of my work, editing it then posting takes a lot of time. And when I’m busy with more important things that actually matter, I always put off posting. Because it doesn’t eff
sudomemo, metrocon and logo news.
so i finally made a logo for watermarking my art, and it sure has sped up the process. making posting art online a hell alot more efficient. eventually i may go back and re-watermark my more polished and favorite works so i can post them to instagram and update the pics everywhere else.
recently ive made so new flipnotes that ive posted onto my sudomemo.
what i drew: hazuki (lynch), takeru (sug), self portrait, some ocs, and main characters from xxxholic.if you like any of those plz go check me out, also add me on sudomemo if you havent already.
Lastly: Metrocon!!!
this year i've been working on 3 cosplays, and have been able to pull it off
