I made this to prove a point on reddit, according to ai defenders its apparently theft to use the artwork of others as a visual reference, in order to feel inspired or practice. Weak argument and stupid, but okay then fine:
No reference images were used to make this illustration *better* just love fun and passion.. and maybe a bit of chap hop in the background
This is simply a silly doodle to show that i might not be a fantastic artist , but i can still create something with passion even without having any visual references, invalidating the dumb argument.
The hat is inspired and based on the Ghostly Gibus from team fortress 2. The cat was just a silly look a tuxedo cat in a tuxedo. The long hat joke is inspired by Doug Dimmadones hat.
The character is generic but maybe ill do more with this fella
