Wow... I am appalled at such an action taken from an "artist." Why hasn't this received much coverage? I mean, even most people outside of the manga/anime/otaku/Japanimation world know what is Naruto and even Bleach. They would have to question the similarity between this series and the original work of arts that these "original work" comes from. Agin, I am still awestruck at how an "artist" does this to other fellow artist.

Well to be fair, most of this is hard to notice unless you are looking for it (or are shown one of these overlays). That said, I think plagiarism is wrong, but THIS copy-pasta is just pathetic.
Though I think he has some skill. Look how well he stayed in the lines when he colored in the pictures =/

Zack, are you kidding me? The Bleach was so obvious to me, as a Bleach fan.
But I think there aren't a lot of people who read Bleach and who read comics like his. And to be fair, his comic didn't sell very well, so it wasn't well-read.
Hellsing similarities have been up since June but the fans clearly weren't made aware of this in a widespread manner until very recently.
Also, Zack, that's because someone else does the colors.

Seriously? It's one thing if the imagery/art style is similar, but when it's literally the exact same picture?
He should just man up and admit he copy pasta'd.

I repeat what I said last Thursday. It's totally ripped off of Bleach, and its totally obvious. Seriously, how did he think he would ever get away with it?
Now the BS about inspiration? Total fail. Yeah, my test answers were "inspired" by the guy sitting to my right.

When your dad is Gene Simmons, and you've seen plenty of American comic artists rip directly from Japanese Mangakas and get away with it (there's plenty of evidence in the current day comic market), then you feel like you can get away with it.
However, I think this is too much. If there are copyright laws strong enough to work in this case, the full hammer of the law should be coming down in the form of ceased work and laaaarrrge monetary settlements.
