Art Style theft can be a thing, actually. I only mind if people are copying actual pictures I've done, copying how I set up reference sheets, trace my work, etc. But if someone is just inspired by my work and are trying to develop their own style, adding in elements of my own, I'm honored. But it's veeeeery important to know the difference, hon.

Everybody's style is a combination of the styles they've probably seen before and really loved, I'm the same. I personally list the people that inspire my work on my front page! It's a very foggy line that I understand. But take for example, if you copy the My Little Pony style, that isn't your style and when people see it. They won't think of you, they'll think of MLP. Yet there's TONS of artists out there that draw MLP and the moment people see it, they know who drew it and that it was inspired by MLP instead of copying the style. And that artist probably developed their style from taking what they liked from others and did it in their own way. It's how artists grow and be awesomesauce!

I actually peeked at your work, and I really liked what I saw! I didn't see anything that popped out as my style or something that looked too similar, so unless you were planning to start using my style as inspiration I think you're doing fine! Though if this was your way of asking me permission it was uh... not a good way to ask x,D Don't just assume copying a style is an okay thing to do, because there are ways that will anger and upset people and land you in some hot water. If you want advice and references for developing your own style, I have a couple resources that may help out and i'l absolutely happy to share ^u^ be nice, be appreciative, and be respectful to all artists and their work, pretty much treat them how you'd like to be treated.

We just have the same art style, I just haven't posted any of my newer dragon drawings, and the art style thing was completely on accident because i never knew who you were until I seen the dragon kaos picture, after I seen that most of my newer dragons look similar to the style you drawn him in

Also, you happen to be my most favorite skylander art person ever, skylanders actually got me into drawing things that are similar
