delayed but bouncing off of viv's art style anon... "her pre-Hazbin/Helluva art used to be so full of life, so expressive. Nowadays it feels so stale, like it's missing something. Its like she's not even trying anymore." with the more we hear of viv taking ideas/art from others (and instances of specific proof such as KenDraws, DollCreep, fanart) ...i'd be willing to bet that has something to do with it. her work, imo, was always a *bit* lazy, a bit "first draft", which lines up with her attitude towards criticism and general lack of planning/writing. and what's an even faster shortcut than going with the first draft? piggy-backing off of someone else's work. sure, your art style can unconsciously warp to mimic the styles of artists you work closely with over time, that happens. my issue with viv is the change not only feels much more stark, but mainly suffers the additional complication of how little, if any, credit she gives to those who have helped or she's taken from, and how she picks and chooses who to be thankful towards. TL;DR i think viv's style change is largely due to her doing less original work and more piggy-backing off of the work of others be it fans, friends, or employees.
I'd buy this easily. Mix ego with an eagerness to steal/piggyback ideas because she figures she'll get away with it and you get Vivzie.
