This guy/girl here has some bad Photoshop skillz lol, but I understand where you are coming from.
Interpretation of original art, if original art is mentioned as source for inspiration, is all good as far as I'm concerned.
Think Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup.
I see it all the time on Bungie's submissions, use of filters + interesting composition can be cool.
Red flag for image submission is a low resolution with artifacts all over the place. (like the image you've shown).
I try to help Progo for his contest and do basic reverse search if something doesn't look right.
Did this guy/girl win anything? They should be disqualified but not sure about banned.
If they truly have no art to express, they probably won't be doing again.

As stated, the whole banning thing is just my strong hatred for this kind of stuff. As for winning, no he has not.

Well, this person didn't do anything to take the art as inspiration and make it their own, it's a copy paste of the original, in B&W, with a filter. That's stealing someone else's work. I don't think this person is an artist though, probably just wanting a shader or whatever the prize was :(

Most likely, the also posted this the first week of the creations page (if you remember the contest going on when that happened)
