I mean, I don’t even consider my MLP fanart to be my own. They are never my own. I didn’t create the original characters. So not to be sound like a blowhard so full of himself, but I feel that custom recolours or bases rob the artpiece of its original intention. If I want it to be a piece with this pony with that pony, I’d do it myself. I mean, some do ask, so that’s fine.
Is it bad that I don’t like folks to make bases/traces of my work?
