It is unfortunate that stuff like this happens sometimes in the artist sphere. Like, yeah nobody owns a pose, and nothing is 100% original these days, but like if you're doin paid work and you directly copy poses like this to a tee, what's the harm in referencing it in like a footnote or smth?
I can’t believe I have to say this, but if you recreate someone’s art as your own there needs to at least be credit. Is it legal? Yes. Is it ethical? No. I’m enthralled people love the scene and all the paws. But, giving no credit and hiding that they’ve directly referenced my work is wrong.
