Which Witch.

I remember the days when girls with black hair and white lines and dark clothing were called Goth or associated with witchcraft, so ridiculous that even today these things pop up in people minds and hearts, to judge another by looks is as worse as judging them by the color of their skin, simply wrong. we all dress differently and we all seem to go with a current style that fits us, the ideas behind these styles are known but not to all and also they do not represent the person, it is just a shell on top of the body which we like to add to our own, like a second skin we like to feel comfy in and look for others that feel the same.

We seem to like and look for labels, seem like it helps us deal and label others, seems like it is harder for people when they cant pin you down for something, i for one praise those who dare to be different, those who care not of what others think about them, who dress as they wish and live up to their own ideals of imagery, those who also embrace differences and ideas that might not be theirs but can understand we are all different in one way or another and that is what makes this wonderful planet so full of color and light.

*** Notice! i did draw my drawing you see here but it was inspired by another drawing which looks a little like the one in the comments but it was not that one, i think i might even got inspired but someone who did the original which by now i have no idea who did it since i've seen so many versions online. either way to be clear, i was inspired by an ink drawing i saw online and did mine by hand with ink on paper. if someone can point out the original painting or drawing i will be more than happy to mention them as an inspiration source.

*** UPDATE!!!
So after digging around i found some images and i believe the original artist is ANGRYBLUE (ONE WORD) IS JUSTIN KAMERER. (https://angryblue.com/) I found the image on his site and it is the same one seen in the comments below, i am not aware of this artist which means the piece i made came from someone else who copy his work and i got inspired by that, so i am clearly own Justin an apology and a thank you for the inspiration, i would like to find the piece i saw which got me drawing but that was long ago, Justin piece looks very close to what i made which make me choose him as a source of inspiration and my hats of to the talented man. check him out.

thanks and yes you are right, most of my work comes from my mind but once in a while i will see something and it will spark my inspiration to a point i will make something and think its original but still it is somewhat connected to a source, i will remember that since i too care about these things as my art also get used and stolen more than once. i would love to show process but i am having serious delay issues with the nTopaz upload platform, it crashes on me and crop pieces, i really don't understand why they changed it, it was working fine, maybe i should upload the main art with that platform and then here upload process shots.

About nTopaz not working properly, yeah and it's a bummer, I always advise people to prepare and format their posts, on another site like Steemit, Busy, SteemPeak and then copy the code to nTopaz...for much that I like what nTopaz is trying to do, TBH the website is not really that great :/ ...hopefuly improvements will be done soon.

Witch! As usual very special technique and recognizable. Very well done!

thank you so much, i like to keep it weird :)

Striking artwork! Unfortunaly i must agree with you, people like to put other people in categories and always go against the different.I guess they find safety in being the same with another.

thanks and true, people feel comfy were they are around mind liked people, sadly if you do that you might never expand your horizons and world view, my best friends are people i was actually afraid of at first or did not really understood, traveling and seeing other cultures expand your mind and heart and working with others slowly makes you more adaptable to the world around you, close minded or labeling is a disease we have created out of fear of the unknown, thank god there are plenty of wonderful people out there and a strong desire to explore.

actually in this case i think it the other way around, i did draw my drawing but it was inspired by another drawing which looks a little like the one you posted but it was not that one, i think i might even got inspired but someone who did the original which by now i have no idea who did it since i seen so many version online. either way to be clear, i was inspired by an ink drawing i saw online and did mine by hand with ink on paper. if someone can point out the original painting or drawing i will be more then happy to mention them as an inspiration source.

Hello @artbyadida, Please keep what Jaguar said in mind. They are known to downvote people they believe posting plagiarized content. Always show your source of inspiration or done from a reference image for transparency to avoid their trouble.

yes and thank you, I will keep that in mind.

@artbyadida you just got an Upvote from me. To counter the downvote of JF. Yeah he claims to respect the rules when he selfvoted his comment too. Thinks he is above the rules. Just a guy that is angry with himself.

thank you kindly, and yes, no one is above the rules, none of us are perfect and we are here to learn and teach and explore ways to do better for ourselves and the world around us. i will keep shining with love and art and hope it will ripple wide and deep :)

Hello there @steemflagrewards if you would had taken the time to read the post to begin with you would have notice that i do mention the inspiration source by name and link. please do the research or warm me if i am doing something wrong.

please check the post again, i mentioned the source with full explanation to what has happen, make sure also to tell that to @steemflagrewards so they can revare the flagging. unless you think i should be punished for my actions.

When posting content that either is owned by someone else or inspired by someone else’s works, it is proper to list the said source in your post with a link to the original.

Failing to do so is considered plagiarism, and could result in being blacklisted by curation groups or even flagged.

Examples include:

  • Using another artist's original drawing/painting/digital art as a “study” or inspiration without linking the original and giving credit to the original artist.
  • Linking to someone else’s YouTube video with no source.
  • Using someone else’s photos or text without linking to the original source etc.

Please make sure you do so in the future, thank you.
