Not traced bro, but I like.. totally obviously copy it.
If you compare them, you can see I like.. fucked it up really bad honestly.
You can't tell now, because it's just a sketch, but that segment will take place during the day in a desert area, as opposed to night time in a rainy area. And I did hide a ":3" face in one of the clouds, and the flashing text will be different from the Guilty Gear version too.
I get where you are coming from though, it would be more unique if i did something other than clouds moving the same way, but I wanted it to be an OBVIOUS parody, and those clouds are VERY memorable, and it worked i guess, since you thought i traced it.

I see, I guess from that perspective, it can be a good thing.
However I'm a little worried about the comments you'll get from people who don't read deviation comments or read them too fast, and trust me, there are a lot.
The rest of the intro is also like GGXX's (being a fan of that game, I would know), but it really feels like you "made it yours" with your characters. That's not really the case with those clouds, which seem more "copy pasted".
You decide in the end, but I think despite being a parody, this intro would have even more personnality if the clouds had a little more personnal touch to it.
That could even come form something else than the clouds themselves : like adding lightning, or changing the background from the GGXX-like desert.
But this is just a suggestion, the choice is yours in the end.

Don't you worry about what people say about my art, just worry about your own. We're both grown men and can deal with these kinds of things for ourselves, right?
I won't be losing any sleep if someone thinks the clouds of an obvious parody are too obvious, and you shouldn't either.

Hum, yeah, I guess I just nitpick a little too much sometimes.
Anyway, I look forward to your updates on this, whether you decide to customize those clouds a little more or not in the end.

Dude... just leave it alone.
Your advice wasn't a critique. It was a nitpick of your personal preference.
