I get frustrated with those artist who spend so much of it bitching and whining about “theft” and style infringement, and on and on, just fricken keep making art and it shouldn’t matter!
Yeah, I get sick of hearing about that, too. My favorite thing is that MOST of those people draw like Disney or Warner Brothers styles often and they act like it's really their unique style.
People often copy the way I do things. I've had a rather popular artist admit to me that she copied the way I draw eyes. I've seen people draw pictures with the same themes and similar characters but why should this bother anybody? It's flattering. It's nothing to get stressed out about. They only should worry if they are making money off of something they actually drew! Not if a the hair or tail or legs or whatever looks kind of like something they did.
What I think is funny is that most of us started off drawing by copying a style. I mean, really... most of us here drew Lion King or Sonic the Hedgehog when we were young and some of us still have fan characters. That's a way people learn how to draw.
Sorry. ^_^; This had been bothering me for a while and I haven't been able to vent about it.
