@MYKEHYPHENATE@KunoMD So while there is no issue with replicating a work (postmodern era, there was appropriation art like the works of Sherrie Levine where she took a photo of another photo, calling it her art), but the key factor is that credit was given (adding the name of the og photographer)
@MYKEHYPHENATE@KunoMD Master studies are very common, but it feels a bit disingenuous since master studies are about replicating a work as accurately as possible. The person added the vtuber’s face and portrayed it as fanart. The key issue here is that there was no credit given.
