I gotta know, who are your inspirations? I ask because you're evolving so rapidly, as an artist, and that rarely happens without outside influences.

Oh gosh, I adore how you've drawn her feet/paws... very well done!

My main influences have been artists like Loboleo and and few others. Though the way you say that makes it seem like I am somehow getting better through cheating, and not hard work...

I thought he was implying LSD rather than cheating.

Why can't it be both?

It shows, but much more subtly than you might think. It took me a while to notice that the shift in style would've needed inspiration, in the first place. This is the part where I make you self-conscious.

*teasing* You're not tracing now, are you?
So long as that can be said, you cannot possibly be cheating when it comes to "your take" on a design. Just keep being you.

You are actually coming across as very rude, just so you know. I have been drawing everyday for over a year now to get better and evolve my style. Every artist looks at other works for inspiration, but I don't copy things. If I see a way they did something I may try something similar to get that effect, but the way you make it sound it's as if I went to an art page and start to copy they way they draw, and how they do everything. Frankly, I'm a little insulted. The same as when I uploaded some pics and you told me how it looked like Wolfman-Al's style, as if I'd just gone to his page to copy his art that day. I got better because I draw a lot, and I worked hard to improve, my style evolved because I found new ways to do things, most often through trial and error, not from other's art. I got better because of me.

He doesn't seem rude at all.

[Dog_Girl_Kari]

Fine, I guess I'm overreacting. I'll just go look at some art so I can get better, since I'm incapable of doing that on my own apparently.

[ivan11422]

hey pup. Just wanna put my two cents in. I think you are very talented and I definitely see that you have a great style of your own. Keep up the good work! I really enjoy your art and style...especially the ears.

UPDATE: Well, I officially feel like shit now - I didn't realize you'd been going at this on this site since mid-2011. Where does the time go? Anyways, I checked up on "where I came in" versus "where you started" and yeah, my comments are kinda shitty in that context, aren't they?
Sorries all around! You can keep reading or stop here, but know now that the rest of this post is a response directed from the perspective of the more subtle changes in your artwork between July of last year, which I might've handled with more tact had I bothered to read the hundred or so posts before I entered the picture.

Please don't take this as glossing over the post prior the one above, as it is not my intent; likewise, please do not mistake my intent from earlier this morning. I go long bouts without sleep, and during those, my sense of humor gets a little - strange, maybe? Punchy? Either way, I didn't mean to offend, though I do admit to perhaps taking a bit more of a poke at you than was strictly necessary.

That being said, I shall continue to comment on art styles that remind me of another; I know that you are an individual artist, demonstrably - repeatedly - capable of producing your own unique style, but you're asking me to accept that art exists in a vacuum, which it does not. That's what makes it all the more special when someone with a truly unique spin comes along; you're fantastic in spite of the giants who've inspired you, not because of them. I never meant to imply anything less of you or your artings, and it does pain me that you'd think that I meant my comments in any sort of derogatory context.

For what it's worth, I apologize. I can only expect you to be you.

Hell, someday - at this rate, someday soon - you'll inspire others to take up the pen.
I can't draw for shit, but with the progress you've made over a few short months, I'm more encouraged to try.

Love it!

I appreciate the apology. I was having a pretty cruddy morning and overreacted a bit, and I'm sorry for that myself.
