I believe it is the main factor behind most people seeing nothing "original", it may share details with other things but if all you see is what makes it the same then there is little defense against a made up mind. I like to think that we all as creative beings have certain elements we use as basepoints and as a visual compliment to ideas we find beautiful. We shouldn't demand a completely out of thin air creation as the only valid originality rather than value originality in the sense of difference in presentation.





These works are beautiful because of the variety of personal shapes, techniques, interpretations and emotions so many people can portray over seemingly similar themes.





Both of you keep up the gorgeous work!

People often tend to "weaponize" the wonderful ability our brains have to take the most minute details and combine them into a coherent image by comparing things we see in our visual library. Its a basic survival mechanism that can be used for great artistic purpose, but sadly a lot of people use it to readily dismiss anything that fits a certain number of cross-referenced criteria within their mind's visual library.
