The subgrenre of art that this one artist used has existed before that artist even used it.
No artist “owns” an art style. Imagine if Rembrant claimed to own chiaroscuro. His estate would still be claiming monopoly over the art style, effectively handicapping the progress of art as a whole. Nobody could create art with heavy contrast between light and dark anymore because “thats Rembrant’s style only and nobody else can use it.” As someone with artistic ability, “owning” an art style is the most ricidulous idea in art I have ever heard of.
the game’s entire art style was based on the artist whose assets were stolen. even if they removed the stolen bits, the entire project is tainted
Yall keep saying it was unique but its just a subgenre of streetwear, isnt the man inspired by off white and sht
Even Iphone cases would have that style in 2016 when it was trending, also mirrors edge exists
