Parent post is one of the official anime art 'poster' images that always showed up in magazines and the such.

The artist of this one likes to trace it seems looking at everything tagged as his.

Gorigo is a Pixiv name of Animator Shibata Jun (and Shibata is the character designer of Shinobuden). In other words, this is the "official sketch" published by the original Artist. this is never derivative work.
