And this controversy is good in one way to me. It means that Tomoyasu Kurashima (the character designer for the Infinite Stratos anime) gets more attention, which he certainly deserves. |

Even though he plagiarized, I still liked Miyata Sou's art especially for TE, and Kimi ga Ita Kisetsu. I'm afraid I can't say the same for his modernized version of the main ML girls in Muv-Luv Confessions though. It was an abomination beyond words, but purely my subjective opinion. Oh well. Now that he's out of the picture, at least we still have Carnelian, Bou, Makishima Azusa, Himukai Kyousuke, and Sayori to count on. I find them more preferable than Miyata Sou anyway.

Of course, if nothing got in the way, I'd prefer Carnelian to illustrate MuvLuv TE too, but she's already doing such a nice job with Schwarzesmarken and is always very busy. |

Yeah, I guess they should give him a call to take over. Oh, and no. he didn't just do promotional art, he was the original artist for TE as well until Miyata Sou replaced him. Quote:
Oh, and his Yui is just gorgeous, and unbelievably bewitching especially with that smile. Hmmm, yeah. They should bring him back. I want more of his Yui. Quote:

I wouldn't call what Miyata Sou did "tracing" but rather "copying".
To me, tracing is like cut and paste the image then modify it a bit, just a little bit. Copying is well, copy the image, pose or composition but change the rest completely. I found copying the art work to be bad, but drawing from photos is... It's not like we can afford a model or travelling to the scenes just to photograph the images we want as reference though. And drawing or painting urbanscape without copying from photos is just too hard and unrewarding. There are much, much worse artists than these. There's a guy in Austria who basically copy and print others' game concept arts as his own paintings in an open exhibition. There are some cases I feel sorry for the author though. Like the one who got his manga about food canceled because he traced (or drew) from the photos we can find easily by Google, pictures of food and famous restaurants. I suppose it would be too hard to get a picture of foreign food by himself. I can't imagine finding lutfisk or surströmming outside Scandinavia either. As for Miyata Sou, his plagiarization is too obvious. |
