>>7627304I am very honest. I see nothing wrong with it. And no, "the western civilized world" is a mosaic of many many different rulesets. The internet has revealed that the idea we have some kind of large en-masse agreed-upon rules was actually not true. You'd have to be either very young or very old or just not very tapped in to what's been going on if you didn't notice this.
>An artist drawing a homage clearly admits where the idea and or vision comes from.No, more often than not they're just doing it and assuming that the audience already knows the context, recognizing it as a "LOOK THEY DID THE AKIRA BIKE SLIDE" or somesuch. Older works that referenced even-older things which have fallen out of the cultural consciousness are actually funny in that these formerly-obvious homages often get viewed as "original."
D&D is a great example of this, many of the things in the game are based on books and films from the 60s and earlier. The Paladin is a direct reference off of Poul Anderson's Three Hearts and Three Lions, but many people don't know this.
Additionally, several of the "iconic original D&D monsters" originally had their designs lifted off some plastic dime store toys. Picrel and look here for more info:

A lot of Star Wars scenes and designs from the OT riff off of Kurosawa films, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. The old black and white shit, that nobody watches anymore besides film buffs.
>>7627342>respectWho cares? Did OP boast? He just said with his goofy shitty typing "my art yayy"
Do you find it important to be respected by random people who you will never meet and who see you as nothing more than the brief glimpses you present yourself as in public? They will never know you in any deeper capacity. AND you will never know them, so their "respect" is basically worthless. OP is probably the kind of obnoxious retard you wouldn't want to associate with, so why care for his "respect"?
