This is so very beautiful. I especially like how you painted the soft warm light that emanates from the small lamp in her hand.
Love this.

Stop trying to make it seem as though dark-spider, who is an incredibly talented digital artist, is a thief. Your jealousy is obvious.

I'm not jealous, I follow a lot of good artist and admire them very much!
Have you took a time to see the blog for a bit, like five minutes or so...?
I don't mean to argue, seriously... you have the right to have your own opinion just like us.

I have no artistic ability whatsoever, so I can't judge other artists. I just enjoy looking at their work.

Checked the blog out and I do see what you are saying!, but infairness to Chris Ortega most, if not all of deviantart photo manipulatiors, digital and some traditional painters use the same stock at some point, there are always going to be similarities in artworks that use the same stock for references. We can not help but be inspired by other artists along the way. Don't get me wrong I hate art fruad as much as any artist. To me, personally speaking, this blog looks like someone has gone out of their way to make Chris look bad and distroy their career. I do not know Chris personally so I think they went to a lot of trouble Chris look fake!!! If you took the time and checked all other photo-manipulators out we all have parts of work that look the same. This is just a case of nit picking !!

You're an idiot.
I clicked this because I thought it was more work from Ortega, but it was not, because your message was deliberately written to make me not understand what is about. this is why you're an idiot. Also spamming honest people about it. If you want to take action, do it legally. Not wasting our time.
I think you should read what real artists think about plagiarism.
Surely what Cris did is copying (and he's not the artist I like the most, so I don't really care about it), but small details. Digital makes it so that you can cut/paste/modify.
Those are still details.
I'll advise you to read this blog:
