Kagami Hiiragi, of Lucky Star, cosplaying

This charming bloomer cosplay image of Kagami Hiiragi, of Lucky Star, who I could swear is cosplaying Kyou Fujibayashi of Clannad, has attracted some attention recently, and not just because of its moe qualities – it has recently been flattered by plagiarism, though of a very petty kind.

Displaying the usual terrifying omniscience, 2channers brought to light this pathetically traced entry into a Hiroshima technical college’s art contest:

Kagami Hiiragi, of Lucky Star, cosplaying - Badly traced version

Perhaps the scamp in question is gearing up for a career as a professional illustrator?

The artist whose works have been so plagiarised, Ixy, maintains a Pixiv profile, and you may be familiar with Kagamiku and Lucky Star tarot, by the same artist.

    It’s a moot point, considering that number 36 is clearly a shoe-in for first place.

    I don’t get it, Japan has some brilliant artists, all my faveourites are pretty much asian.
    But no… Their classical and technical art colleges are shit.
    I mean, wtf?

    This is college level in Japan? What the hell… I drew/water colored like that when I was in the 2nd grade.

    I mean, I’ve seen some bad drawings in my art classes but this is pretty lulzy
