I respect the work of other artists.
But even artists redraw their paintings over time, because the level of skill changes and becomes better.
When another artist takes your painting and paints it differently. He wants to make the idea more attractive. And this is not to offend anyone. He just adds something of his own and makes it better.

Plagiarism concerned only a few paintings, 2 were made 6-7 years ago, when I was just studying. And one now, for the experiment.

Sorry and good luck.
