I think in a sense, both of you are right. You need to learn to cultivate your own creativity using inspiration, but it is also very necessary to take a look at others work and try out their styles simply to become a well rounded artist and you may come to integrate some technique from them that render a feature in your style obsolete. A good example of a person who has gone too far in just simply copying is hunter (not calling you out hunter you are a great modeler, you just need some god damn creativity) and I am sure he has a pain getting out of that rut. So balance. Middle way. Buddhism bullshit.
edit- my bad, didn't notice the other 2 pagesthis was adressed at iron and nueros convo.
