hi thank you so much!! normally i'd just say yes because i mostly use photo refs from pictures ive personally taken, but my recent work has been building off of the in-universe worldbuilding for the pouflons closed species, which you can see here !! as a result it would be inaccurate to credit me as the original inspiration for those, if that makes sense! i don't want to stop you from putting your own spin on concepts you like, but in that same vein, it's not as if the concepts i draw belong to only me.
BUT generally, i don't mind as long as you're just being inspired & not directly referencing my work!
i'm very grateful that you like my art though!! sorry if this is a longer and more convoluted response than you were looking for!!
