I could point out in every way it's substantially different lol but that's because I pay too close attention to these sorts of details. it's similar to how I have a great many interests and abilities that are in no way useful in the grand scheme of things.

But yeah, never really watched many Studio Ghibli films, but some of the familiar points in the stylization come up frequently in a lot of animation and comics originating/unchanging from about the 60's through 80's. Since I largely grew up on that sort of thing, it kinda influenced me a lot lol. Drawing fan art for things where there isn't an artistic canon (books, live action, realistic 3D models...) tends to look like this from me, while fan art for things like comics and cartoons ends up with this odd mixture of that and whatever the original looked like.

Oh, no, I didn't mean that like a bad thing! I know that there are a lot of things that are way different in this, it just has a sort of feeling about it, is more what I mean.

I know what you mean about stylization influences though. For me, I grew up practically worshipping Mary Grand Pre's illustrations, and now I find myself having to fight a natural inclination to stylize my work in a similar way...

Oh, sorry, I am ass at not coming off like an, well, ass. I didn't think you meant it in a bad way, I was just being retarded about details because that's my thing and I never seem to know when to shut up about them. Possibly because of all the Asperger's but anyway.

No one's style ever develops in a vacuum, either, and everyone is going to end up having this or that show up in their work that was drawn from so and so or such and such-- so don't feel terrible about it. I suppose it's because you can't really escape from adopting your favorite artists' "solutions" to the "problem" of depicting actual or not actual things on paper-- no sense in reinventing the wheel, as they say. One's own artistic quirks will overtake the initial reference anyway in due time.

You have Aspergers? Small world, same here! I have the hardest time telling when someone is being sarcastic and when they're not...my family calls me "Miss Literal"...

it would appear that way, lol.
Yeah, I tend to get irritated with my friends for that one since I keep reminding them it's not clear to me when they're joking like that, but they keep doing it anyway. :/
I'm not sure why it's so hard for people to get that yes, this person is going to take those sorts of things literally. Stop expecting this time to be the one where they suddenly get it. :/
