Glad someone mentioned this because I was going to. What makes it even more egregious is that the comics community I used to follow all pretty much agreed that Land actually had talent, and that when he makes the effort, he really can draw. But since he doesn't "want to do the work" anymore (their thinking, not necessarily mine) he just traces over other things, sometimes even tracing over his own work so he doesn't have to do it again.As far as Tracing photos goes, ever heard of Greg Land?

Hence the accusations of every single female character Land ever drew having "pornface," because, well, that's what he used as source material.
Yes, ok, maybe tracing someone else's work (or even over your own) does require some measure of skill, but it's still taking a shortcut. It might be a necessary shortcut in something like this where the primary developer may not actually be able to create the required art assets without having to use some kind of "crutch," but it should at least be acknowledged that it is a crutch.
