I already suspected that, since the colours Mone used where way above what he usually posts. I don't see the problem in copying others in order to progress by learning from what they do, but it would be decent if you say so when you do, combined with a link to the original art.

 

theres a difference between copying a legacies charos such as vaughn bode becasue most do that as a dedication to the father of a lot of graffiti stylizing. but the artist mone derived his influence would not appreciate the straight photo copy mone created.

 

words of truth. you beat me to it, bas... no one would mess with mone if he did that. but unfortunately, he never mentions his sources...

 

lololol who the hell cares
its not like hes braggin that he made the thing up, i just think characters are way different than letters, probably wouldnt paint that cuz its probably one of the more icon flicks but shit from comics and all that are fine to paint and drawing is all practice, so who cares on the character note, letters well..... thats illegal lol

 

mone has been doin this for a long time.... keep bittin stuff in your books my mentors said.... not like it matters... but atleast make a shout out to the originals somewhere on the page

 

honestly thats cool that youre learning from that but I wouldnt post something I traced

 

I heard once many years ago if you're gonna bite turn the piece upside-down... just a thought

 

Lol u fools it is the original idea of mine that Wolverine is writing my Name . Do i really need to reference wolverine from xman? Lol

 

bitch bitch bitch bitch, another mothers meeting on bs,

if he'd of drawn/traced it from a x-men comic/original source there would be no need to reference, we'd assume where its from, but to copy/draw/trace from some one else's adaptation and not reference is very dodgy, end of issue

your welcome

 

What ever this is a graffiti forum not a comic book forum and it is not like i copied someones original idea of a. Graffiticharacter i drew a icon character that all should be familiar with i just found a pic of him slashing

 

Weather or not the shit you copied came from a graff artist or not, it's still a major bite. If it was me I would have made a lot of changes and turned the pic into something of my own. Right now all I see is someone else's art with your name attached. Looks dope tho

 

you should all wipe your mouths once your done licking the crust off mone's balloon tie

 

wow.....you kids are still going on about Mone.....

 

Word i'm far from a character writer my main focus is letters and their structure. Characters will come in time. But intil then i will copy characters of my interest not to claim as my own but to make worth while practice and improve my understanding of an image's overall composition. But like i said i am mainly interested in what i can dowith lettering right now , as for made up characters I'll cross that bridge when i get there you feel me? Can you dig it? ¿Comprende mijo? Lol

 

man why don't you just state where you copied your shit from in the post that contains the picture and keep your slate clean?

 

excuse me, im a man

 

Kwu looking dope as always but its more sloppy than first. First you did nice clean sketches. But who am i.

 

kwu... could use less funky extensionss and more bars... to write graffities you need bars

 

haven't been on here in a while, missed the hate a little bit.
