Honestly I don't even like ado for other reasons but this is pretty clear stylistic copying. Again, it's not about the skin concept, but also the copying of technique; the way the jewelry drapes and wings fold and how lines and shading are done. A billion people have done wings, roses, eyes and jewelry for their accents, but Museum doesn't seem to have this flat/minimally shaded, uniform-line style for any of their other art (and they're literally an art student!). They're blatantly ripping off so many small details to the point where it isn't about the overarching concept, but the original ideas that ado has about those concepts—eye halos, eye markings on the wing tips, flower leaves that "float" and aren't attached to the flower, vertically hanging vine jewelry, even the way smoke is done. It's like taking a sentence straight from a book, not just ripping off the plot or characters. But anybody with eyes should be able to see that the copy is a pale version of the original, which is sad, because Museum clearly has great artistic skill in their own style.

I swear if people didn't see skins and accents as a "product" instead of a similar medium to freeform art this kind of copying wouldn't get defended so much.
