It seems that someone had a problem recently with tumblr user @hachibani‘s art looking similar to mine, and implied that they might have been copying my art style, or otherwise trying to draw too much like me. I don’t talk about my personal life on here, so most of you wouldn’t know this, but our styles being similar is not pure coincidence: Hachibani is actually one of my best friends.
We’ve both been in the same fandoms together for a few years now, and we’ve also drawn a lot of collabs in the past, some of which are on our blogs. The resemblances in her art style to mine, and my art style to hers, are a result of the two of us working together often and openly sharing what we like best about each other’s art to become better. She’s a huge inspiration for me, and I’ve adopted some things from her style just as much as she has from mine (for example, she mentioned to me that she likes drawing Undyne with fin hair, and I decided to try it myself, as you can see in my most recent artwork!)
Our styles definitely bear some similarities, but it’s not something either of us have a problem with, and they still have plenty of unique differences. This has never been an issue for us, and we’ve always looked at those similarities with fondness!
Sorry for this random post but I really didn’t like the idea of anyone thinking there’s copying going on here when we are literally best friends who happen to be somewhat popular artists lol
