>>56995576I think this old rant kind of summarizes my view on things (slightly edited)
>It's not like I own the concept of...But you kind of do. You were the first person to make an OC (and one that had staying power as well) with that feature, so that idea will be permanently associated with you and as a result; only extremely broad concepts that can have many interpretations such as "corporate bad guy" won't linger in a creator's mind to nag at them about whether or not they are ripping someone off. When considering one's "originality", we try to trend towards attempts at iconoclasm in order to be as "original" as possible, reusing a similar concept can make us seem "unoriginal". Hence why I used a normal jacket over one based off of a Pokemon, because it would be a broader concept to interpret and thus would be more "original" even if it's more "generic".
>>56995650The main thing denotating it as "Archivist's style", at least in my opinion, is its simplicity in its craft, because it's made in Photoshop, which has limited tools for outright illustration. If this sounds like a slam, it's not, I'm just telling it like it is.
Goodnight guys. May you survive the Defrosting. Pic related is a repeating flintlock pistol inspiration for Alex (he has two of them, with this model having three rounds capacity each but his actual weapon's capacity is subject to minor change)
