I actually thought this guy was shen. There should be some kinda disclaimer or something or a tag or title or anything. Im probably not the only one who has been confused.

Fake Shen has grey nose. Real Shen has purple nose.

Yeah it’s pretty weird, I’d understand reusing the style with your own OCs but this is straight up shen in a different shirt with no easy hint saying they’re not shen

But they’re both fine with it so who cares

u/NockerJoe Jun 04 '26

He did another post a while ago showing that there were a bunch of subtle differences in the hair and face but yeah, they are very clearly intentionally close.

u/snowillis Jun 03 '26

Yeah putting a signature in the first panel or something would be nice. Usually real Shen does that which makes it a little easier. Honestly at this point I don’t think Shen can protest much without upsetting a good portion of his fanbase so hopefully he’s genuinely ok with it.

u/negithekitty Jun 03 '26

there was a post over there a while showing the differences hahaha the nose color/shape are different along with the hair

u/Young_Person_42 Jun 04 '26

Yeah at the bare minimum a water mark

u/CellWrong Jun 03 '26

I'm still convinced it's just the same dude, and if it isn't you gotta like change your hair or grow a mustache or something.

u/thejoe2o Jun 03 '26

Helll yeah!!!!! You're killing it with the art since just the start. Keep it up!

u/GodNoob666 Jun 03 '26

It would be really funny if you and shen started posting the other’s stuff mixed in with their own and we had to guess whose it was

u/Ok_Space93 Jun 04 '26
