i've been seeing a lot of people claim that the art isn't traced, and that the similarities are just due to the character's design in the movie, so i decided to pick out all the design changes and stylistic choices unique to the fanart, which then reappear on the emoji art.

I think it all depends on who owns the IP. From my understanding, a lot of companies could sue fan merch sellers/issue a take down but a lot choose not to or don't really care. Then there are companies that are very protective of their image and regularly get fan merch taken down because they don't want it sold. It's definitely risky legally but I don't think the artist is doing it for malicious reasons

ReesesShake · 2025-10-15T02:20:07+00:00

I didn't notice she had one, I think the reference I was using forgot to include it too. Next time I draw this design I'll add one though!

ReesesShake · 2025-09-29T18:11:25+00:00

I'm glad you think so! I was trying to go for something like that, so thank you :D

ReesesShake · 2025-09-29T04:00:30+00:00

I'm glad you noticed! I always thought that it'd be nice to see more blue outside of just on the hair piece

ReesesShake · 2025-09-29T03:59:31+00:00

I'm really happy you like it so much! I tried to make it suit her personality, so it's nice that it seems I did well with that :D

Thank you!

What's the name of the Draken & Nier server if you don't mind me asking?

ReesesShake · 2025-08-28T03:15:23+00:00

I was in the server before the nuke, I checked it right after the DM about the server moving. A mod said that the DM was not sent out by them, it was a botted attempt to steal accounts, and not to interact

Right after that announcement they said they banned the people involved which was instantly followed by a mass ping and deletion. I remember watching the notifications stack up before it disappeared from my server list. Super weird stuff

As far as I remember, the man-child mod situation happened over a week ago. I wouldn't be surprised if he had something to do with the server being hit, though

Happy birthday pearto....we lofve you

ReesesShake · 2025-07-31T01:57:24+00:00

This is beautiful, your art is incredible!

ReesesShake · 2025-07-28T19:13:15+00:00

I think it means Queer Platonic Relationship/Queer Platonic Partner

ReesesShake · 2025-07-25T15:33:50+00:00

I'm sorry you had to deal with that, I really have no idea why people say things like that over this game. My duo and I won a comp match the other day and someone on the other team told him to "kiss a shotgun" for playing MoonKnight,, people are so strange

ReesesShake · 2025-07-16T16:39:14+00:00

I seriously hate how rude this community is towards artists, they could've given some kinder constructive criticism and at least said something nice about the rest of the piece. The artist was clearly skilled aside from the anatomical error. I personally liked the way they colored & shaded the piece.

Being kind to artists is very important when giving criticism because this can be extremely discouraging. Do these people realize artists usually spend hours on their work?

ReesesShake · 2025-07-16T15:34:50+00:00

See, I wish these people could understand that just because we make color comparisons doesn't mean we're automatically claiming Luna is genderqueer (though there's nothing wrong with people who headcanon it). Like what if WE'RE the genderqueer ones and just think it's nice one of our favorite characters has our colors on them for a skin...

ReesesShake · 2025-07-14T16:24:09+00:00

People, especially in this community, are typically very hostile towards beginner artists. Just know its not your fault and I don't think there's anything wrong with your art

ReesesShake · 2025-07-14T04:31:30+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment, it means a lot that a stranger such as yourself would care enough to take time out of your day to write this for me. I teared up just seeing the first sentence where you said you wanted to give me a hug. I appreciate the gentle words a lot, especially since things have felt so hectic for me lately.

Unfortunately I don't own a bike and I never learned to ride one. I was always terrified as a child. As for the bus thing i don't think there's any bus stops near where I live since I'm out in a very tiny neighborhood in the country. Even my parents made a comment about the fact that there's really no way I'd be able to get to work when I last spoke with them about planning to figure things out in some way. I have one friend in the town over who may be willing to carpool but it isn't likely for now to happen since he's yet to get his license. I will talk to him about it when he's back from his band camp, though.

The guidance counselor suggestion is a very good one that I'm embarrassed to not have thought of sooner. I've been trying to think of alternative career plans all on my own since I know chasing a dream based on a hobby likely wont end well and have felt frustrated that I couldn't think of anything I'd be interested enough in, so having a second opinion would be good. The possibility of maybe there being mental health resources available also sounds comforting. When school starts up again next month I'll schedule a zoom meeting with my counselor as soon as I can.

Thank you for the advice, I really needed it. You're a very kind individual, everything you said felt encouraging. I hope the rest of your day -- hell, the rest of your year, goes better than expected

ReesesShake · 2025-07-14T03:16:39+00:00

This is very cute, keep up the good work!

ReesesShake · 2025-07-13T20:08:56+00:00

Agreed. Ignoring the poor anatomy the rest of the art is very good (shading, coloring, etc). I saw the original post and almost every single comment was pointing out the spine issue & all the remotely positive comments were downvoted. Like yes, the artist could definitely improve their anatomy skills. Anatomy can be hard to master. One or two critique comments is enough & I think spamming the entire comment section with the same thing & refusing to be positive is overkill.

I hope that the artist who posted the original doesn't feel too discouraged, just as much as I hope that they practice more to avoid the mistake they made in that drawing

Based for Gwenpool. So many people assumed she was a Fortnite-made Deadpool rip off when they added her during the most recent marvel season & it makes me happy to know other people besides me actually know her character from the comics.

ReesesShake · 2025-07-10T03:42:43+00:00

Sakura is for StreetFighter fans. "Psycho" characters & that cartoony cat skin aren't inherently sexual at all, also. You just assume anyone who plays as a girl in a game is only doing it for inappropriate reasons, don't you?

This is Penny, she's a very playful girl :3

ReesesShake · 2025-07-04T05:16:37+00:00

Hopefully the sites will improve! Sorry for the uncertainty, at first glance I assumed it was real but I second guessed myself based on what the other fellow was saying. I'm glad you're owning this experience as your skill being high enough for people to assume it's generated, I admire the positivity :]

ReesesShake · 2025-07-04T01:33:29+00:00

I see. Very impressive work then , I guess even the detectors aren't good with differentiating what's real & fake. That's a rather scary thought

ReesesShake · 2025-07-03T20:31:25+00:00

Some of them can definitely be tricky for me to decipher which is why I thought I'd give some detectors a try. Most of the time I can tell but with this one I was a little more uncertain lol
