The jabacoon is a blatant rip off of my korbat's design!!11!one!!

Hurhur, but seriously, with neopets custom designs back in the day, and now with the popularity of these silly point adoptables, is there anything that hasn't been done at this point? There are some legit cases of theft but I think the real problem is that there's a limited number of things you can do...

griffsnuff In reply to skullrag [2010-11-30 20:10:04 +0000 UTC]

The problem that is very common with situations like this is that thoose markings are common in some canines, having a dark color and a lighter color on the belly.

And red usually works best with orange or a lighter yellowish color. So theres probly many kinds of this type of coat for dogs But they are still diffrent, they dont have the same colors, the other is alot more lighter and yours have white on all its paws And the other ones got lots of white on its belly and face and your doesnt.

So to me that isnt really the same.

I think this is also good stuff to keep in mind for character design in general. YES, characters in real shows and movies can be inspired directly by other sources (see "expy" on TVTropes) and it's legit. The thing to keep in mind though is you're not making a "fan character" (ie, another Sonic recolor), you're taking elements of what you like and making informed decisions about how to put things together in a new way.

RannaDes In reply to ??? [2010-11-30 02:39:48 +0000 UTC]

Being original is hard indeed. But there are cases where it can slide....like the poses or if you needed to improve on drawing a certain body part or to have clothes ideas....But yea, It does show disrespect to the creator by ripping the whole concept apart.

I have made my own wolf-sona (before I named her and made her a complete anthro) Not even two days after I showed mine, someone else drew the same thing with minor changes, like the moon being over her eye instead of -over- her eye (lid), blue eyes, and the white stomach, mine stopped before the neck, but hers kept on going to the snout....When I confronted her about it...she yelled at me, and said that I was the one who stole the idea....oy oy oy....

The first part is almost exactly what you told me To take one animal you like drawing and using that as a base
Even though I have a lot of OCs right now, this inspired me to make more 8D

I love your tutorials. They're so helpful in a sweet sort of way. You're not nagging at people, just giving helpful advice and I wish more people listened to advice like this :\ I see way too many "sparkle-dogs" with their striped hair and fifteen bracelets and bandannas and 10000 piercings etc...Ugh.

I wish my characters would be at least as cute as yours lol.
Anyway, thanks for this tutorial. I don't think it will avoid people stealing ideas anyway,
but I guess it's a nice start for people who want to create their own characters. :>

Mine are always looking like PokΓ©mon *fail*

thanks for the advice...just what some people need. I actually didn't follow this advice when I first started drawing and uploading characters, but now, my new INSANELY AWESOME character, jeffery, is original, and he has a unique coat. Jeffery the fennec fox, with a pet rolly polly....thanks for helping my chaotic brain

KaminoWater In reply to ??? [2010-11-29 21:13:46 +0000 UTC]

It's good advice and I'll definitely keep it in mind. But sometimes someone can have an idea and make an OC and have no idea that it's similar to someone elses P: I guess it can be strange that way.

C: Would this work the same with human characters (humanoid)?
