At first glance I guess it isnt too similar. However it can be at a closer look. The contrast between the tans/browns and color in the hair and eyes. The hair on the darker one is the exact same as day just with a different gradient, the outfits were inspired off of the knight dog concepts which obviously jam doesnt own but all this would barely matter if jam and all of us didnt KNOW that Rains intentions were to have heavy inspirations/copies/pieces of day and first. The intent to take small inspiration when making the ponies then secretly making them into canines and more similar to day and first proves their true intentions is to have them as close to day and first as possible Plus yeah the mazie ome is not that similar to even yhe split design wise but their intention to copy mazie just bc they want the clout bc she was in one of lupis’ shows by going behind my back is wrong No ones mad but i just wanted to explain it;0; they stated specifically in one of the screenshots “i want to collect as many audience-likr characters as possible” which also backs fhis up I hope this kinda explains it more and ty for listening!
