Can't figure out why some images do this and some don't. Hmmmm

Using Ai when you can draw and have cultivated skill is almost worst then these pretenders because it's like oooh you not only don't respect your peers, craft and followers but you don't even respect yourself

I agree, like it's not a crime, but it's uncool. There's def a "line" between "inspired" & "copying", you know it when you see it, at least the one I saw (speedoru) is DEF crossing that line. It's strange because to do what they're doing they clearly have skill, it seems like a waste

I'm unsure on this, if they aren't claiming they're the artist in question there shouldn't be an issue, you can't "own" an art style. But these imitations do FEEL like their crossing a line? I guess it's only really a problem if the mimicked artists are vocal but that seems like a lose lose scenario
