Hey everyone, it's your boy Merc.
Just wanted to share a few thoughts, because it's getting a bit ridiculous here.
First of all, I don't trace. However, I admit a did a couple of traces back in 2018, one anthro twilight and anthro starlight. I quickly realized that's not the way to learn art, so I dropped it.
I started learning art back when Shydale was at the peak of his popularity, I quite enjoyed his art myself, it even inspired me.
What I believe is going on with him now, is the result of his inability to cope with the fact, that I grew as an artist from scratch, while he was still stuck at the same level for years. It's okay to find that comfort zone, but I prefer moving on.But I'm afraid it's the case of this guy being salty because someone *dared* to compare _his_ art to mine. I personally like it when people compare me with other artists, noticing style resemblance, that at least makes me sure I have one. Pretty solid achievement for someone who started drawing a few years ago. Unfortunately, that isn't the case with Shydale. His arrogance dictates him to be an asshole to me, on public socials btw.
I ain't a saint either, my friends will admit that. But.. how to put it.. I'm not going out and about trying to ruin someone I don't like, by accusing them of being a tracer, in such a hostile manner too.
Let's get down to some things in particular? In that Fleur pic you see, she originally wears a corset, this is an alt without one. I wanted to push the effect by breaking the anatomy a little, that spine bend is not realistic, but stylistic. Would you know a thing about style, Shy?
Gildas wings? Never seen them wet + foreshortened? yep totally fucking traced. I did the best I could there tho, I hate wings.
"awkward style of lineart"
yeah okay, I surrender to the police, you caught me XD
You do like making fool out of yourself, sir. Do me a favor, don't do this bs, be concerned with your own art. This horse head here is a joke, why is it so flat, why she has snake nostrils, my dude?
Have fun with your homework.
Cheers!
