It's happened twice already.
Yes I can tell. And it's not hard to copy+paste the tracing into Photoshop and flip the layers a few times to see most of the pixels are in the exact same spot.
If you want to trace something, trace the friggin' official Digimon icons that have existed for like a decade and barely even have an owner anymore.
Paws off mine.
Christ.
No point confronting I guess. So here's my passive-aggressive compilation that I'll update as I find more. Yep. I have a really short temper so it's never a good idea to pull these things on me ^o^/








Anyway some people are new to the world of pixels and may use one as a base - but what the other people have done have shown they have pixel potential yet just too lazy to showcase something from scratch.
You're right to rant all you want.
But yeah, confront them and if they don't apoligize/change, then I'd report them to the staff for..infringement?
