Amazing skill and love your characters, just a wee bit too much Canisalbus referencing in the style. I would love to see you develop into something more representative of your own soul and draw from a wider source of artistic inspirations.

This is why I stopped using tumblr.

While I feel the need to say "Thank you", I wont. This just feels backhanded af

I didnt even reference canisalbus in my recent post, I just wanted to show a redraw of how my art has progressed since last year like?

Instead, I have said it before and I will say it again:

Comparison.Devalues.Another.Artists.Skill.

I do not enjoy getting compared like this, I am tired of it.

Hi, I read your post in the pinned post , and I just want to say that you were not alone in this situation, alas, these non-humans bothered many, but you clearly should not give up your work for a bunch of armless fools . If it's still possible and you return to the realm of Anthropomorphic Animals, I'll be your most loyal fan✨🫂

Heyy! I'm sorry you're dealing with that kind of unwanted criticism too. But I'm happy to say I haven't totally lost my passion for drawing anthro 🙏

I just have other (human) characters I love a lot that I draw nowadays. I do draw anthro sometimes, but I haven't posted art on here in ages. My Instagram is my most active account, and that's where you'd find my anthro art when I do draw it!

I appreciate your warm words 💞 have a nice day!

I love Avatar 3 guys, peak movie, so peak it made me post again

Anyway, This is my Na'vi OC Zunin! She is an ex-Mangkwan member. Her father left the clan with her just before Varang became Tsahik, she was four years old at the time.

Now, with her father, she travels around pandora. Meeting other clans and warning them about near danger. Think of her as the "Spy" in the duo.

ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: 2x06 - “The Message Hidden Within the Pattern”

Listen, nobody thinks you're a worse version of CA. You are younger, still getting the hang of developing a style. It's should be something that matters to you, taking the feedback and using it to your advantage. Artists incorporate art from numerous places to develop themselves, this is totally normal. What I am telling you is that you are inspired so closely by one singular source and you are studying them so closely, it shows, right down to your watermark. In order to stand out on your own in any way, you must broaden your circle of influences. It surely will sting to hear it, but it shouldn't cause you to abandon your passions. I hope that instead of shutting down, you use my feedback to grow because you have tremendous potential.

Okay. Firstly, I have never even asked for your feedback in the first place and I have never been open to it.

Secondly, "You must broaden your influences" or "studying them so closely" Is insane to me. I do not "study" artists for my artstyle. I am just drawing, Idek what I am doing most of the time and theres you accusing me of studying CA's art?

I 90% of the time do not use any kind of reference, especially when drawing animals. And I even more rarily so do reference other artists art. If you believe that my art looks close to CA's, then alright. But I wont change the way I draw, because thats the most comfortable for me.

Adding onto this, Yes, I do infact agree that my watermark before august 2024 looked a lot like CA's. But I have noticed that and changed it completely. So If you mean my current watermark, I feel like you are overreacting. Because it simply doesnt even look close to the one CA has.
