Case #11 - Unravel

This blog post is about a user named Unravel
We'll be focusing on this picture in particular.

Which was first posted in her shop "Press any key to continue". It's apparently a premade and she wants 6000 credits for it.

See it for yourself

Now before we even get started I would like to point out how very weird her "style" is.


First there's this picture.

Posted in her shop

The hair, face, and skin look so realistic.
The only thing that is slightly off is the boobs being placed so randomly high and the fact that the head is a completely DIFFERENT tone then the rest of the body.


Then comes this picture.

Posted in her shop

The hair doesn't look like it was made by the same person.. The first picture I posted the hair had great detail and depth and now this example the hair looked like it was made by a beginner. The hair has no acknowledgement of any light source. They don't look like they were made by the same person.

Lastly this is a picture she made in a free thread which I can't find at the moment.

Posted in a free shop

Now this hair not only lacks depth but shape as well. Usually she makes things look so realistic but here as you can see it doesn't look EVEN CLOSE to the work she made before.


Her extremely inconsistent pictures did spark some interest. 
Then one day anonymous found a shocking discovery. 


This picture:

Was actually a poorly edited version of this digital painting made by Azurelle @ deviantart.

Here's an overlay of the two images. Now you see how perfectly the faces match up.

Still not convinced? Well here's the pictures side by side I'm going to point out all the stuff from the original that Unravel missed editing out.

Side by side without my markings on it. In case my markings are making it hard to see something.

Nope there's no doubt that it's just an edited version of that picture.

And chances are she's doing it with ALL of her pictures.

You've been warned.

A late edit on December 9th 2010.

We get a heartfelt apology from Unravel!

So finally she realizes that tracing is wrong and she promises never to do it again!

Or so we think....

Quickly after her apology she posts this picture. 

Nope she doesn't credit anybody in her post so the "face anatomy" must be her own... Like she promised!

No of course not.

She stole this one from Sakimichan on deviantart.
