While looking into this artist I found this image in their pixiv works. post# 253365 is the same and tagged Misaki_Kurehito.

Thoughts?

Just another imitator

Looking at the art at that pixiv, I was skeptical it was an account for Misaki_Kurehito.
Do you think this artist uploaded Misaki's artwork, or is post# 253365 mis-labeled?

This isn't Misaki... It's easy to tell because the eyes have no depth... The coloring in general isn't the same and the hair isn't as glossy...

Author Here. No, I am not Misaki. Pixiv image #36259386 under my profile is a copying practice, which is made clear in its title. The image in this post is my original work, though.
I pretty much started the whole illustration thing because I like Misaki and Kuroya's works, so please forgive me for bearing a similar style. I have been mainly focusing on dealing with anatomy, color and light in general, and have paid little attention to developing my own style, thus the similarity.
While I'm glad for finally being able to imitate Misaki's style to some extent, I guess it's time I began to develop my own style and avoid advancing on a collision course any further.

Personally I think it's fine. Even if it's not your original style it's still great. And it's not like you're using it for a commercial work or anything. (Right?)

Btw if it's yours, would you happen to have a bigger version? :D

Sure! I just uploaded a PNG at native resolution. I usually paint at around A4 350 ppi canvas size. However this picture is merely a pose practice that I happened to finish, and 1500 pixel wide is all I've got this time.

rofl what i missed. All hail yumemi!
