I can respect this type of response

Forgive me for my cynicism, but this reply really does seem like a load of baloney. It’s really apparent that you left out your ‘inspiration’ even through your instagram post. Again, it’s fine to be inspired, but it really seems Pete was maliciously left out, whilst other less blatantly similar stylings of other artists were credited in your shoutout.

“Also, this piece was heavily inspired by art of Zdzislaw Beksinski and @kirian2009! #originalart #traditionalart #traditionalillustration #pencilartist #pencilart #graphiteonpaper #darkart”

Striking similarities, uncanny even

Edit: I do want to add that drawing inspiration from pieces isn’t a bad thing, but giving credit where due is a kind gesture for your fellow artists

Great work!
