Hey I don't mean to sound rude or come off as accusatory but I was sent this link by a mutual of mine and #27 looks eerily similar to my sona. I'm not really comfortable with a character that similar being sold for profit when I've spent a lot of time and money on said design. I'm not mad I just would be happiest if the design was taken down and not put up for sale.Â
Hi! Ik itâs not rlly my business and I donât mean to be rude at ALL but is that the one with the yellow sweater? I was just looking at both of them and they rlly donât look that alike⌠could u explain a bit how u might think it does? :0 it might help this creator too! Bc from an outside perspective they rlly donât have much in common other than the fish theme!Â
The skin tone is almost the exact same, they have short black and baby blue hair with the bangs covering one of the eyes. The fishbone on the middle of their sweater, the skeleton fishbone tail, the black long misshapen legs... I really don't think I'm reaching for this one and I've had multiple people send me this listing. I don't want to argue or make this an ordeal I just think the two characters look a bit too similar and it made both me and the designer uncomfortable with it being sold. They look pretty identical asides from the lack of hair fins and a yellow sweater.Â
Thatâs ok I get that!! Iâm usually one that rlly hates ppl copying or taking heavy inspo, so if this person knows the creator and actively follows them or has faced the design thatâd def be a giveaway, I understand how they can be similar but I feel like itâs rlly not that identical! Ofc u have the right to be upset but I think itâs up to the poster, if itâs not taken down u could probably report it but idk if theyâd rlly find the designs similar enough to even take it down/ask for it to be removed </3Â Â
I appreciate your thoughts and concerns. They do follow the original designer so itâs not like itâs entirely out of the realm of possibility. I still believe the designs look a tad too similar and that it would be disingenuous to sell the design. If it werenât for other users bringing this to my attention I wouldnât have known but, if others are private messaging me about it and the designer also agrees then I think it is something worth discussing and bringing attention to.Â
Yeah thatâs def fine!! I do recommend just dming this creator tho! As theyâre getting a lot of comments and might miss this plus itâs bringing something pretty small to the public!Â
Hello! I'm happy to remove the design from the gacha if you are uncomfortable, I do want to state I have never seen this design, and the similarities are coincidental as this design was based off this picture! fish skeleton
Going forward I'd also like to say its always best to dm someone rather than do this ^^ as it becomes public others may reply while it was only intended for me to see it.
Thank you I would very much appreciate it! My sincerest apologies I donât usually use this site as a communication method and I did DM you as well afterwards upon realizing that. But thank you very much, both me and Shin would appreciate it ^^;
