I'm going to try to compile all of the evidence here to maybe help people who don't want to sift through 400+ comments to see why many of us are disagreeing that tracing took place.
1. The original overlays posted above were (unintentionally) manipulated to stretch and distort to fit the lines of the accused tracing. Fixed overlays were created to show that the originals were tampered with, and therefore not solid evidence.
2. The poses in all of the art are extremely generic. A couple of which not even matching in perspective, although OP claims that they still match up line for line when tilted and rotated around. Do that with anyone's art, and you're bound to find similarities and matched up lines, even if obvious there was no reference/tracing involved.
Example here: http://i.imgur.com/49AbO.jpg
3. The aspect of bias is heavily prevalent in OP's tone and words, considering how she has acted off the site, twisting many of the commenters' words here that we're saying "it's ok to partially trace", instead of our real words of saying that "we do not see the trace". Not to mention she also sent a snarky message to the accused.

4. The accused has come forward to provide the actual references she has used, which match the "traced" work much more than what the OP was arguing.
In conclusion, I personally believe that the OP was blind with her bias and history with this person, and thus got over zealous thinking that because one or two small lines added up, that meant that she and many other artists were being traced. This has since been debunked with evidence provided by the accused, and the members of the community. Take from it what you will.
