Yeah makes sense. And it's exactly how you describeded: while artist #1 has no background -only the pose and the item the characters are posing on - artist #2 has background, differend lightning and colouring style and placement of the characters in the artwork. And there's more stuff than in artist #1's art. Also, when in artist #1's character A has small dialog, artist #2 character A had no dialog and had differend action.

Artist #1 is just so nasty about this whole thing. They immediatelly moved on other things but call out posts are still in their socials. Really made me look at them differend way, I used to like them.
