Description Well I am sorry if I placed this in the wrong category but my main point is to make you all clear of several things.

My question to you is this: Is my style the SAME (not similar or kinda) as what we called "spirit style?"

I don't think so. So people can start pointing fingers at my gallery and my characters and my way of drawing. It's very rude and disrespectful when ignorant-close minded people won't even take a minute to figure out what they want to say first, examine the case and then judge. Not only am I targeting this for my own gallery, but for each and one of you, Equine artists, who do have a unique style. I found many of them that have nothing to do with the Spirit style and yet we find people coming to your gallery and say, "You Spirit stealer! You thief! You're going to be reported with Dreamworks!" First of all Dreamworks can care less for they KNOW they'll have millions of fans, their work is copyrighted so there is no big deal if a 10 year old is using the same style. After all, those beginners use the same style for a few time while they try to learn how to draw and THEN develop their own style.
That's how I did it. I drew in Spirit style for a couple or 3 years. Then I started developing my own style.

Now, back to where I started. Does Lib look just like Rain?
Answer that question yourself.

WATCHERS & FRIENDS: Don't take it personal, this is mostly targeted at those people in Youtube. You have no idea how many idiots live there. And if you've been bugged by the same thing, hell, proof to those people that you're also able to develop your own style.
... unless of course...you're one of those people copying/stealing from other Equine artist's style; they don't deserve this. They've worked too damn hard on their artwork so that a fool comes to rip off their gallery.
If there is a thing I hardly can forgive--is not that people steal my art, or copy my characters about 90%--but steal my style. It is NOT fair.
There is a difference between been inspired, and "lemme copy ur art cuz i like it."
Nu uh.

I don't think the eyebrow has anything to do with the so-called "Spirit style." Eyebrows has being added to cartoons many years even before Spirit.
I understand back then I used to make the nostrils but that changed. Other than that, I got my own style

Thank you

I think people jump to conclusions due to the color of your horses. I'm not saying you copied the style; yours is very unique, yet anything slightly resembling Spirit makes people wig out. Besides, there are only so many ways an artist can draw a horse. Keep up the great work!

there's only a few differences though like the mane and tail on my breyer model horse is much shorter than Libertad's and it's supposed to be the foal of Spirit and Rain. But I do admire your character on here. ^_^

Aww hun don't listen to those fools!

I mean, it's kind of a little obvious that spirit style was your first inspiration when you look through your gallery but if people do actually take some time and see the evolution of your works they'll see you're working hard to break the old habit and develop your own. And people who don't do that shouldn't even be allowed to have a keyboard to write comments...

Although the ears and nostrils look alike(the nostrils mostly, since your ears look bigger and a bid rounder) it doesn't mean you're completely copying the style they used on spirit.
Also, the way you shade and stuff is TOTALLY different! You put much more details, like muscle definition for instance.

And I won't even bother to comment on the eyebrow subject, it's just too stupid...

I see a big flippin' difference -.-
They practically look nothing alike 'cept for the ears and nostrils, but that's it. stupid people!
Yeah.. I always get flamed on YouTube for Warrior & Rose looking "too much like Spirit & Rain! ".
Anyway, we all have our own styles, get the hell over it

I think that the people on youtube think that drawing any horse is copying spirit's style, they dont know anything.
I totally agree with what everyone is saying, its really not copying, its your own unique style!

It's definitely based off of the "spirit" style, but you have altered it suiting your own tastes. So yeah, it's your style. Those people who say otherwise or mock you, who probably can't draw themselves can go do something productive with their time. Goodness

Rain - Brown, white face, blue eyes, cream mane.
Lib - Palomino, no facial marking, goldy-brown eyes, black and white mane.

Ears and nostrils are very similar shape. That's it.

No offence - if you take this bad?
Lib does not look anything like Rain.
I dont know how people can blame you for stealing spirit style art!
There are many other people who actually ARE and are not being blamed!
* as in, they trace *
But you have your own style. As do I.
No one can take that.
