How could you ever expect to compare yourself with something like that? It's incredibly unrealistic unless you spent a good decade or more trying to learn my artform yourself, which would eventually yield quality results with enough effort. Nothing is free, bro. I spent my childhood devoid of most human contact to be as good at art as I am now. I had very specific direction that led me to be who I am today. You aren't that and it's unfair to compare yourself to it."}
