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.

Sweetie, what crack head is telling you your art work looks like "spitrit style"? It doesn't. YOu have your own very unique style, and no one has the right to judge your art, but yourself, and only your self.

I totally agree with you there Lib

I get that kind of crap at school and I bet once my new labtop comes in and I start my comic, I'm gonna get it here too

We've all used spirit style now and then, that style is where I developed my own

My advice is to ignore people on YT... there are so many retards and idiots on there that it's hard to believe. I can tell that your artwork was influenced by Spirit, but by now it's a style that stands alone and barely resembles the movie's artwork. There's a huge difference. :3

No problem ^^

To be honest, I don't blame you for that. If it weren't for all the friends I have on there, I'd definitely be willing to move my videos to another site with less stupid people. All the idiocy and immaturity there is sickening. And if that isn't proof enough, look at some of the comments they leave on official bands' music videos and songs.

Sorry to hear those fuckers on YouTube are giving you hassle! Just block 'em and ignore them. I've found that most of the people who flame cartoon horses and say, "OMG this looks just like Spirit!!" haven't even seen the movie. Any true fan can look at this and say it's nothing like Spirit-style! Ok, the nostrils and nose ridge, yes, but that's it. Everything else from the eyes to the way you draw hair is completely different! It fucking annoys me when people automatically associate a horse with eyebrows as Spirit-style. I mean, look at =silverglass19 's work - hers is NOTHING like Spirit, yet she gets that all the time! And the same goes for you. I look at your art and totally see YOU, not James Baxter in your art. It's lovely and unique - don't let the immature kids drag you down!

i dont think Rain and Libs styles reminds of each other- Lib is much cuter
i so agree with you -.- most people started drawing Spirit style- but after a while you get your own style... i hate those people on youtube saying stuffs like that.. and people accusing other for stealing stuffs... *sigh* that sucks -.-

compared to spirt style your drawings are different, as on your mares you still do the right shapped muzzles, unlike in spirit where the mares like rain have smooth rounded faces. Your stye on your horses also has flowing and wavy manes but in soirit style arn't the horses manes dead straight? and you do your horses eyes differently. i would'nt of thought you drew spirit style but i guess you maybe got inspiration from the movie somewhere

Leadmare In reply to Leader-of-a-herd [2008-10-29 22:15:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know the real horse's mane are totally straight but it's boring and that's why I picked the fancy, extravagant manes and tails on my horses to make it my style. I just love it--same for the eyes.
I'm hoping to draw more various shapes for their heads and ears...I just need more practice

well most people's art will look similar to Spirit because of the fact that there are only so many ways to draw a horse. but you definitely have your own style! I can tell it's your art straight away! It's so unique!Yay for exclamation marks!

Only thing that's questionable is the nasal ridge. Slap that one any drawn horse picture and it instantly looks like Spirit style.

SnowKitten53 [2008-10-29 08:39:21 +0000 UTC]

i say no. i have looked at tons of your pics and you definetly have your own style. rain's face is broader-Libertads is more arab like. lib's ears are bigger, her mane is curlier and you use shading. lib also has red on her cheeks. there may be a slight look-alike but thats only because you learnt to draw spirit style. ^^

You're referring to half of my old art right? I agree. But, ever since I stopped using references I changed my style and I don't draw in Spirit-style anymore.
And of course I was inspired, most of us were. In fact, I know that I still gotta change the way I draw the ears and the nostrils. But other than that, my horses are very different.
