Doubt it, he even imitated ZMSFMs feet in the Jill animation.
Copying is the highest form of praise and such lol
I'm with you here. Got redirected here from ZMSFM's thread via a link lol
This artist is either clearly inspired by ZMSFM or he's trying to imitate his way of work. Considering ZMSFM's variant system and fetish focused content works for him really well.

What I find curious is that he doesn't follow ZMSFM himself on X. One would've guessed that if their contents are so similar, he would follow him and such.

He does follow him though?

hmm, how do I say this without it being provocative (? idk) :unsure:

I like ZMFSM, and would love to see more ZMSFM, but from ZMSFM, not other artist who decided to copy him.
Some would say not "copy", but "heavily inspired". But this is getting to the point of... same theme, style, feet angles and even vid names.

Probably from unexperienced/unfamiliar look someone would think that this is ZM's alt account. Cuz despite ZM still doing better job with models and quality in general, this is getting way to close.

And on one side "I like it and fucking do more", and on the other "We have ZMSFM already"

Gwen one was different, I liked that, but most of the recent ones were like " I think I saw this somewhere before"

Although, if they work together or ZM is helping/teaching him, please continue :p

There are so many characters and ZM can't animate all of them, so I just think this way we get better character-coverage of similar style and quality.

Yes, this is probably the only thing, as long as they cover different characters, like m71/caki or pizz/puzz do (more or less). I'm all for it.

I can't say that it's a tragedy or something that an artist has decided to get inspired by those who came before him. Mept is very talented. Ashley video shows it. What a fantastic intro. He has his own original plotline ideas too and in some, he does harder themes than ZMSFM himself.

If we're being praiseful during the years of work out there, ZMSFM is like the perfect artist to "be inspired from."
Dude has an incredible work ethic, has consistent delivery, clear communication, his own system of variants, fantastic quality for a guy working with Eevee. As sub of his, I can also vouch for very fair and worthwhile reward system too.
Makes sense to try take what works and either do it the same way or have your own spin on it.

I'd wager Mept is a younger guy who has lot of free time on his hand. Which is why he can pump out these kinds of videos on such a consistent basis with variants on top.

Doubt those two know each other well or help each other. But I bet my left nut that Mept hears and will hear how his work is so similar to ZM's to point of getting annoyed :ROFLMAO:

Personally? Hell yeah dude, bring on more arts. Of all the artists out there, correct one was chosen to get inspired by for scenarios and content.

I get your point and I had mixed feeling about this. I won't lie, as a big Ashley fan I'm really happy about this animation that does bring a bit of difference (mainly the intro). S/he talented. I just hope s/he'll "put its stamp" and we can actually feel like we're looking at mept44 and not ZMSFM.

Still, I'm glad we have another very talented animators on the circus hopeful though... this won't make ZMSFM's revenues decrease. As we all know, it's kind of gloomy time for money.
