All artists are inherently influenced by others but there's something about PhantomArcade and Vivziepop's styles in particular that I've seen take over artists like a parasite until they have to grow out of it before their own unique style becomes unrecoverable
Oh absolutely I love Gracy Null very much but she is quite challenging to draw, especially everything going on with her head... made drawing a lot of her sprites very difficult I have no clue how she styles her hair like that
Of all the characters in Guilt Trip the one I'm most interested in hearing people's thoughts on (post release) is Hope They were by FAR the hardest to get right, going through more changes than every other character combined I think it was worth it though, I love them very much
