I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to copy someone's style, as long as it is not exactly the same, you should be happy to inspire people and after all, there are only a certain amount of different styles out there; people are bound to end up drawing in a similar way.

If they are drawing the exact same characters however, and pretty much reposting your artwork then I can understand your point

@-chex-

Same, noone should copy her style D:

This is beautiful! But what if they're just copying if for fun? Like a one-time thing? I do that just for fun sometimes, but I don't steal the style and claim it as my own. It's just for fun! ^^

ack I know exactly how you feel-!
some people have been copying or changed their ocs to have clothing that looks very similiar to RealCloud's-
I've been wanting to speak my mind, but I can never bring myself to :/

Even though some people may be copying your style, even they know their work will never be as awesome or meaningful as yours!

Aah thanks! I'd be happy to help you guys out too, just let me know! ^-^ Some say copying is okay, but from what I've seen copying takes longer than it should, gives the original artist grief, and doesn't give you as much satisfaction as if you'd come up with it yourself >.<

Not to defend the copyers but it's possible they have a similar style to you.
That's it though. If it's pretty blaint then it's most likely copying.

Oh and about the shiny thing I used to trade a lot back in the Black and White days. I even have duplicates.
Also I'm just darn lucky. I have a knack for randomly finding them.

i'm sorry people are copying your style! but this is super beautiful!

Your flippin fantastic at choosing the right colors and shadowing with those colors

still beautiful!!!
