"This art [link] has been stolen from this author [link] You can see that naguranaki's 'original art' was uploaded later than smolev's one. Another proof can be found here:

Most of visitors of [link] can proof that this drawings was made by Smolev. Also on the picture there are not just an abstract 'Soldier, Scout, Pyro, Medic, Demoman...erm woman, Spy, Engineer, Heavy, Marksman' as naguranaki says but that's the characters of two major Russian imageboards ([link] and [link]). Left to right Dvach-chan, VL-chan, Boring-chan, YuVAO-chan, Banhammer-chan, Roshia-oneesama, Excavator-chan, USSR-chan and Slavya (you also can see that character names written correctly on Smolev's deviantart page). I don't think that naguranaki knows the story behind each of the character, for example he will not tell you what VL or YuVAO mean. I ask to remove stolen art and/or block naguranaki's deviantart user account."
