Unpopular Opinion But Style Theft Is Real If You Literally Draw The Same Subjects That The Artist You
Unpopular opinion but style theft is real if you literally draw the same subjects that the artist you stole from draws. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE IP ART STYLES. But if you copy someone's unique art style to the smallest detail to the point where people are confused about who drew it, then it's pretty obvious that you're trying to profit from another person's creativity. There is nothing wrong with inspiration, taking details you like from another artist and adding them to your drawings, taking part in an art style challenge, or even imitating their techniques AS LONG as you add your own spin to it!! No one owns concepts, no one owns styles, but I would consider piggy-backing on a small artist just to get yourself seen and noticed WRONG!!!!! THE JOY OF BEING AN ARTIST IS EXPERIMENTING AND FINDING OUT WHAT WORKS FOR YOU!! You are literally hindering your improvement if you rely on the creativity and rules another artist has worked hard to develop specifically for THEMSELVES. Even young artists who start out copying other people always end up growing and wanting to make something that represents them instead.
This is why no one likes those white boy Basquiat impersonators on Instagram, even though they adore Basquiats' original pieces. The history and meaning are lost and replaced with a horrible attempt at gaining clout and recognition. Basquiat is not a small artist, but I hope you understand my point. It would be an original piece if, for example, a person made a self-portrait using the Basquiat art style, rather than just recreating something that already exists with absolutely no creative input on their end.

UPDATE!
Volume 2 is still in the works despite the lack of art sneak peeks and updates. While it will be another art-centric zine, there will be some changes after it is released. I never planned to organize a volume 3 but I see the potential for something that could benefit this age of the MLP fandom.
Changing
We as a fandom are slowly moving away from (let's be honest) the very problematic brony scene of the 2010s. I believe most of the MLP artists and fans online posting today witnessed this era, not as an adult, but as a primary/middle schooler. We can all agree that that era was...weird. Full of gore, unwarranted sexualization, and whatever was going on on 4chan. To get to the point: I really want to encourage this much friendlier atmosphere we currently have by shedding light on these amazing creators and discouraging giving the elitist and toxic fans a soapbox.
This is a VERY big goal I admit but I really love this fandom, even more than the actual show itself (woof).
"How are you even gonna do this? Sounds crazy tbh..."
Here is where I ask for your help. This is admittedly a very fresh fantasy of mine. It is impossible to change an entire online space, there will always be bad people regardless of age or background. My idea was to use Fanzines R Magic as a "beginners guide" platform for new fans or people looking for creators to support. Sort of like a giant organized link tree for creators and projects.
"Why don't we just stick to our small communities and pick who we interact with ourselves?" you might be asking. My goal isn't for you to change who you support or who you want to interact with. Naturally, that is all up to you. Many people have good judgment and understand their limits (blocking people they don't want to interact with or content they don't want to get involved with). I really just want to give people a chance to find a community with creators that have good intentions as a starting off point for new or younger fans. Searching for MLP artists for example would be made easier without constantly bumping into repost accounts or fetish art. Not to mention that smaller artists are virtually invisible on platforms like Twitter or Instagram. Many people have commented or DMd me saying how they had no idea Fanzines R Magic was happening or that collaborative art zines were a thing. This "link tree" would feature projects, start-ups, etc that they could discover and join.
This is just one idea though, this sort of huge project needs some brainstorming. If you are interested in what I'm throwing out here, want to suggest an alternative, or be a part of this project please send an "ask", a dm, reach me @_regenko_ (Instagram), or write @ fanzinesrmagic@gmail.com. Any passionate fans are welcome not just artists.
thank you,
regenko

People get built different. We don't have to figure it out. We just need to respect it.
