I was browsing Pinterest, looking for stylistic inspiration, when I noticed these two artworks side by side by coincidence.

It made me think about the line between influence and infringement in art.

Getting inspired by another piece is one thing, but at what point does influence become copying? To me, these two pieces share not only a similar aesthetic but also the same pose, composition, silhouette, and overall structure.

Personally, I tend to see this as infringement rather than simple inspiration, but I’m genuinely curious how other artists view it.

Note: I’m not the artist behind either piece. I came across both works on Pinterest and found the comparison interesting.

Mostly pen and ink sketching.
Never thought of a name , but I always had this world and characters in mind, I have old digital work for it but I’m trying my own new style.
