Description
What am I apologizing for? Well sit back, this is a long explanation.
As of late I've been very disillusioned with my art, and I think I've finally come up with why. I've ripped off Dane W's unique and very spiffy style. I assure you it was unintentional and I didn't even notice it was happening. This really bothers me because when anybody watches me it's usually because "oh I love your style..blah..blah". Well it isn't mine...I feel like a thief. grrrr. If you don't believe me go here
and see if you still think I'm unique.
I was very disgruntled with this and was even thinking of giving up internet art altogether, because I don't do well under guilt. Maybe it's the catholic thing.....
BUT after talking to the insanely nice and wise Kizzy
(thank you for putting up with my horrible self-loathing neurotic attitude 
)I've decided to stick around and hope that I can actually create a style of my own, because I'm sick of feeling like a cheap knock-off of a great, and much more creative, artist.
edit: Just so you know, I agree that everyone takes other artist's styles to some extent, but I don't like the huge extent that I've taken from Dane.

I'd say "who cares, dane hasn't uploaded in forever and it's a nice style, so keep it going" but you haven't uploaded since april, so, it's a moot point I suppose.
It does show that you were influenced by him, but it's not so much so where I go "Oh COME ON!" or anything. Everybody has something lingering in their works from who ever it was that inspired them in the first place. I know I have a big ol heapin glob of Huskie shinin' through on my stuff, she was the first furry artist I ever saw and it stuck.
So I say suck it up and work through it
