I don't generally use references for my work off of pre-existing art, preferring to pull my art from other sources in nature. This piece is an entirely different story.

I used a character generator made by

for the creation of this character, since I had wanted to attempt drawing in a slightly different style. From there, I sketched the end result (mostly, some artistic liberties were taken in the making of this piece). I have never really done much using this style, but here it is.

For the record, said "style" is based off of Sonic the Hedgehog. I have a character in a Sonic the Hedgehog RP with one of my friends named Setilla... so, since I was looking for a new style to try to test my skills, I decided to go with this. The referenced pic was just to get used to the style, from here I plan on drawing another picture of her in this style without references. Honestly, though... STH drawings make my head hurt! The basis model that they seem to follow makes some level of sense, but drawing it out feels awkward because of the style I'm so used to... >.>

The Sonic character builder I used for refference is (c)

Setilla and this particular piece (c) me.

Edit: The "dollmaker" as they are apparently called, can be found below:

Further, apparently the creator of the Dollmaker made a new Deviantart page. Find them here:

Not to be rude but,
This was kind of a trace from a doll maker.

~michaleon Sep 9, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I mentioned that. Read the description. Plus, it's not a trace, I stated that I used the character maker (Doll maker, I guess...) as a reference.

~Furries-In-A-Blender Sep 9, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

It's still the same. Same style. Just copying.

The original creator of the generator claimed himself that you are allowed to use the content of the generator under the non-commercial share alike creative commons so long as it is attributed to him. I also specifically stated that it is a stylistic training method: I was using a reference. Look up the copyright infringement laws and you will find that this is perfectly legal and a legitimate form of art. Therefore, it is not the same, and I would thank you to remember that. Using another artist's work for a reference is perfectly legal so long as that artist gives you permission to do so. Perhaps if you are going to approach someone in regards to what is and is not a correct and viable artistic approach, you should check up on your facts first.

uh...isnt that the point of a reference, to be similar to have the same/similar style? It even says in the description that he used the maker as a reference, and comparing his drawing to the dollmaker, he never traced from the doll maker: his drawing's head is longer, arms shorter, hands smaller, etc.

Just saying :\
