Egon Schiele admitted to trying to rip Gustav Klimpt directly, and it was a part of his learning process. klimpt wasnt pissed and called rip, he loved it. now look at Egon, he's one of the most influential artists to illustrators of all time because he used klimpts works as a launching pad for his own stuff. its fine to borrow and explore, flat out ripping off to get paid is another issue all together, but taking a look at styles to improve on your own artistry, not a bad thing. i see baizley, pushead, GM, finley, splashed with a little mumford. so what, who cares, let's move on. and i hope with this little rant i didn't take any away from your work man, and if i did, it was not my intent. it's fine to note similarities but when does it end and stop taking over critiques? great work as usual alex man. 42071 Tee 2009-05-31T14:49:36-04:00 992531 5570 2009-05-31T14:49:36-04:00 Hell I would have guessed this was Josh before I guessed Godmachine.

I can see what he's saying. It looks cool though, and not necessarily inspired directly.</blockquote> yeah bud i can see vague similarities, partly subject matter and linework but too often i think sometimes people don't realise there is a whole world of artists beyond emptees</blockquote> it's Godmachine btw ;) we're all pretty much ripping Pushead anyway, so who cares :) there's certain people who have a very distinct, incredible, apart from the mold style, and if you look back on any one of them, you can see similarities from other artists work within their earlier pieces. that's the way she goes. it takes a long time to find your own thing, and who knows, you may never. not a loss, it's just the journey of the "artist". Egon Schiele admitted to trying to rip Gustav Klimpt directly, and it was a part of his learning process. klimpt wasnt pissed and called rip, he loved it. now look at Egon, he's one of the most influential artists to illustrators of all time because he used klimpts works as a launching pad for his own stuff. its fine to borrow and explore, flat out ripping off to get paid is another issue all together, but taking a look at styles to improve on your own artistry, not a bad thing. i see baizley, pushead, GM, finley, splashed with a little mumford. so what, who cares, let's move on. and i hope with this little rant i didn't take any away from your work man, and if i did, it was not my intent. it's fine to note similarities but when does it end and stop taking over critiques? great work as usual alex man.</blockquote> Don't tell this to murdercity :P 42071 Tee 2009-10-06T01:28:07-04:00 2753261 9833 2009-10-06T01:28:07-04:00 <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> <img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> LOVE THIS<img src="http://assets0.emptees.com/images/heart.gif" /> 42071 Tee 2009-10-06T01:59:12-04:00 2753551 10986 2009-10-06T01:59:12-04:00 nice 42071 Tee 2009-10-06T02:36:04-04:00 2753691 37891 2009-10-06T02:36:04-04:00 great detail. 42071 Tee 2009-10-06T02:49:33-04:00 2753731 38181 2009-10-06T02:49:33-04:00 Great! 42071 Tee 2009-10-06T03:17:19-04:00 2753801 3086 2009-10-06T03:17:19-04:00 amazing dude! great use of the single color for the print too 42071 Tee 2009-10-06T05:01:54-04:00 2754211 57891 2009-10-06T05:01:54-04:00 Godmachine?
