i apologise for posting this i didn't realise it was plagiarised, basically pixiv wasn't working for me so i was scrawling through deviant art to find decent VOCALOID pictures. Ironic how one of the best ones i found was stolen.
It might've been alright if they'd said it was an attempt to imitate someone else, or said that they used the original as a base, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

While doing this is fine for your own personal practice, I don't normally regard pieces done in this manner - which doesn't deviate significantly from the original, but only attempt to copy - to be worth posting as your "own" work.
