While I agree, putting “inspo” in quotes is also pretty rude. It’s inspired in the actual sense of the word imo, not a straight copy the way the quotes would imply.

I've been stuck in burnout/depression for like 4 months now. I barely do anything, barely eat, sleep, watch TV, reddit. I wanna be somebody else

Yes that is the sad truth. Haters love to tear down but never create. I truly appreciate your comments. I went to art school too and learned a lot more from practice than I did from tutors. I think people like to see artists as people who have god given talent, when in reality it's just a lot of hard work. One of my favourite artists is Egon Schiele, he studied under Gustav Klimt and while you can see the influence his work is a totally separate thing. I think it's just hard seeing people criticize your work in text. When you read criticism like that in text it is easier to take it to heart but in reality if they were saying it in person it would be so easy to brush it off because you would be able to identify them as absolute fools. It's easy to criticise with Doritos dusted fingers on a keyboard. I will keep sharing my art and I thank you for being voice of reason amongst all the criticism. You are a man who understands what art is about and that means a lot to me. So thank you again.

Sadly, haters are gonna hate.

Great find and I love your interpretation of the photograph - you truly made it into your own and that is what art is all about! I went to Art School and alot of the pre-work was looking at other artists, as many as possible and try out things, even outright copy them - that's how you learn to experiment and find new and interesting things and slowly something original will come to you.

Picasso looked at African artefacts and other religious objects and statues from tribes - and alot of other modernists did aswell withouth giving it the proper credit.

Thank you for sharing your art, keep at it bro - you are talented.

I really appreciate this comment. Honestly, thank you so much. I did use an image by an artist called Artyom Gordienko as a reference to make this painting. I did not know the name of the artist who made the original image. I just really liked the image( I found it online and the og artist was not credited) I used it as a reference for this painting. When somebody informed me who the artist was I was happy to credit him. I answered any comments about it explaining the situation.

I really don't like using social media but I know it's a necessary thing to try and get my artwork out there in the world. This was the first thing I've posted in about a year, I chose a painting that isn't really part of my usual practice to get me into the habit of posting. Didn't really think it was gonna get as much attention as this so I thought it would be a good start.

I forgot how much Reddit loves to brigade and be negative. Whoever this Lillian cat anus is has been following me to other posts being negative. I don't really know what else they want from me tbh. I credited the original image as soon as somebody told me. The post I made has loads of cool comments of people telling their stories which I have enjoyed reading. I like the painting I made, it was a nice break from my normal work. Dunno what else they want from me really. Thanks again for sticking up for me and being a voice of reason. It made me feel a bit better.

This explains the amount of stress leaving my body as soon as I figure out that I didn't actually forget my homework and it's also done so I don't get a 0...

Striking similarities, uncanny even

Edit: I do want to add that drawing inspiration from pieces isn’t a bad thing, but giving credit where due is a kind gesture for your fellow artists
