He changed his tune quickly. Just yesterday, he was claiming that he'd never heard of Bleach and said he'd sue anyone that was saying online that he had plagiarized anything.

Wasn't it established that that very panel from the Bleach manga was from a scanlation? If he actually admires and supports Kubo Tite, why is he copying panels from the scanlations?
His apology irritates the artist in me. |

"Homage". Lol, he considers tracing Kubo's work as a "homage"? More like direct plagiarism.

(I've always wanted to use this....!)
I'm sorry Simmons...But tracing is not a form of "homage." |

Bull. The whole apology is utter bull if you ask me. I seen the picture(s) and, while some of them you could argue are very 'similar' in appearence, like one, two, or three of the characters. Others, other characters, other scenes, pages..... clearly you could tell they were copied. Clearly. You would have to be extremely, extremely dumb, with very bad eyesight on top to look at those pics and say otherwise. Atleast thats what I think. It wasn't just one or two but quite a few. I'm not going to say they all looked copied, but a good portion of them did. Enough of a good portion where someone should have caught on a little sooner. Though i'm not 100% sure how long ago people picked up on this so I won't get into that. But i'd be shocked to hear that this guy, later on/someday, will/would be allowed to start this comic up again one day and still get a profit off it. I'd be a bit shocked (or am shocked rather) that he hasn't/isn't/won't get charged somehow.

I don't think you understand scanlations. I have Japanese Negima manga, the English Negima manga and some scanlations. Oddly enough the art is the same in all of them. |

from what I gathered he copied art of chapters that weren't out yet in tankobon form at that time. But yeah could be he had a subscription to WSJ, although if he can't read japanese it wouldn't be a big chance |

Whoa, I can't believe I hadn't heard about this earlier, but apparently before it was Incarnate, the book was called Skullduggery. A preview issue was published back in 2007 and the art is both (A) much less manga-styled, and (B) much, much crappier.

I think what the original poster meant was that you could tell they were from scanlations because the Viz's official release hasn't published those chapters yet. |

That's because it was some random 4channer trolling on facebook. And it was a pretty damn good troll too because I fell for it as well. Detergent and magma, heh. |

inspiration is one thing, tracing is another. I hope he is locked out of publishing for years so he can actually learn to draw and develop a style of his own before releasing another book.
If you've seen his stuff on DA it's pretty obvious that he is far from ready from publishing his own comics. His artwork is in an infant stage that looks like something out of a middle schooler's notebook, but guess he wanted to publish something so badly that he traced to get it done. Stolen art, made someone else do the coloring, and paid one of my favorite artists to draw the covers for him to catch eyes. It's depressing. |

In the music world its called "sampling" *shrug* so I dunno, maybe he thought it would eventually become accepted.

This kid didn't even know Bleach existed. When question originally, he said something to the effect is "What the hell is a 'magma'?" The word magma was VERBATIM.
Idiot kid plagiarizes work, gets caught, lies about it, looks even more of an idiot. And I don't even like Bleach or One Piece. Homage? My ass. |

I think you don't quite understand what sampling is about though, even in music when you just copy huge chunks and change almost nothing it is not considered sampling anymore but just blatant copying |
