Thank you! I'm fully aware that they look a lot like Chet Zar, thing is however, they did so before I discovered him.

I'm not saying, that I'm not inspired by him, but it is actually more on a technical level, rather than creature level.
I try to paint them, as I "see" them (that sounds kind'a creepy), so the question is, do I follow my intuition, or try do make them different, because of this?

I'm not sure myself, but it is something that I'm very much aware of though.

I would very much like your opinion on this, cause I really don't wanna go down in the history books as the one who imitated Chet Zar well.

(I realize I won't be in any histoty books - at least not for this)

Hey there, sorry for my late reply I have been away from DA for a while.

I hope you didn't take offence, I didn't mean my comment in a way like OMG your such a copy cat. It was more and observation on my part. I know exactly what you mean though, it happens to me all the time, I will do a piece of art, finish it, really like it, then come across something the same, or realise i have seen it somewhere before and on a subconscious level must of been overly inspired by something I may have seen in passing. But thats the problem nowadays, there are so many many many people doing art, and we are all connected not its so difficult to come up with that 'original' idea or style.

I would say follow your intuition, but maybe try take it on a slight detour. The problem is with most people, especially critics, is thats what they do, they compare you to others, you could be branded a copycat even though you are not, plus due to the fact that Chet zar has been around quite some time, has become quite famous for his style and creatures, worked on projects with tool, hellboy etc etc the odds are not staked in your favour. But at the end of the day you should make what your heart wants to make, I suppose it all depends on what you plan to do with your art.

For reasons mentioned above is kinda why I have been away from Da for the past year, and the internet art world in general, I wanted to spend some time developing some new ideas and styles with as little influence as possible if that makes sense.

Tak for den fine lama

Jo, det går glimrende - jeg har godt nok en lille smule eksamens-stress lige nu. Men det er heldigvis overstået på fredag!
Hvad laver du nu? Sidst vi snakkede var du ved at droppe fra studiet i Esbjerg, er du kommet i gang med noget nyt eller hvordan?

Ja, jeg er tilbage i Fredericia nu (læser multimedie design i Kolding), og bor sammen med Ida. Vi flytter ind i en ny lejlighed d. 29 april, og vi glæder os så forfærdeligt (nu har vi boet i en et-værelses i snart et år). Jeg render først ind i eksamens perioden om nogle uger, så jeg er stadig stress fri (sådan da...). Men held og lykke med din eksamen

Ej, hvor er det skønt for jer. Jeg vil også have en større lejlighed! Er du glad for multimedie design? Jeg har vist en veninde, der også læser det- det er ude på Hansenberg, ikke? Vi må tage os sammen til at ses, når jeg engang er i Frede igen. Jeg savner sgu jer begge to.

Held og lykke med dine eksamener, når du kommer så langt. Og hils Ida
