An American artist plagiarized the Japanese fan art of "Attack on Titan" and was exposed for his poor painting skills and sold it for $200

The famous anime "Attack on Titan" is not only extremely popular in Japan, it also has a large number of fans overseas, and fan creations are also very popular. However, recently a Japanese "Attack on Titan" fan painting was revealed to have been plagiarized by an American animator. Although it was criticized for its poor painting skills, it was sold for $200, which sparked heated discussions among netizens after the incident was exposed.

·@028ton recently tweeted that his fan art of "Attack on Titan" created in 2018 was plagiarized by an American animator.

·Look at the latest work of this suspected plagiarist. Apart from the poor drawing skills, the pose of the heroine Mikasa is almost exactly the same.

The key point of the problem is that @028ton's work was a fan work and did not involve commercial profit, but the plagiarist listed it for sale at $200, which sparked heated discussions among netizens. Netizens said that imitation is fine, but selling it for money is courting death.
