Yes lol I know our names share the same initials. One of us is a really great artist, the other... just simply likes their art... :/

How is it a knock off to have a similar shading style? There were many artist both before and after him to use a shading/coloring style like this, he doesn't get to claim it as his own. :V

I am not saying that he HAS claimed it, but the fact that his art is extremely popular within the community and the fact that all of this artist's recent works CLOSELY match the style is what makes it a copy.

I'm certainly not saying it's bad, hell, it's good. MDF himself doesn't put out a shitload of content, so we have artists like this guy (or gal) to thank for adopting, or copying, the style so that more MDF glory can be spread.
